However before using your oven for the first time the following installation check must be carefully carried out and oven elements must be burnt in. Cavity Cooling Fan ■ Check that your ILVE installer has screwed the oven into its cavity and that all packaging is removed from inside oven. ■ Check that all oven racks are in place. Rack Positions ILVE ovens are equipped with a cavity cooling fan. The fan is thermostatically controlled and will switch on automatically when the oven cavity reaches a temperature of 60º C. Air will gently be blown out through the front louvre, just above the oven door handle. This keeps the interior of the cavity housing cool. Normal Position ILVE ovens are equipped with various racks depending on the model and size; all ILVE Reversed Position wire racks are reversible. They have angled offset ends to allow for height variation between shelves; this is a particularly useful feature when cooking with deep dishes, for large roasts or when batch cooking. Burning in elements It is necessary to burn the protective oils that are used in manufacturing and shipping from the elements. 1 Set the clock to the correct time (See page 12) 2 Set oven temperature control knob to 125º C and select cooking function mode 2 by turning function control knob. 3 Allow to burn in for 10 to 15 minutes. 4 Repeat process for all seven cooking modes (3 through 8) in sequence and allow to burn in each mode for 10 to 15 minutes. 5 Clean the oven thoroughly when you have completed burn in process so that the oven and grill/rotisserie will be ready for use in cooking. ■ There may be a slight unpleasant odour during the initial burn off procedure. As a result we advise you open doors and windows in the kitchen during this procedure. Cooktop ILVE’s gas burners feature high thermal efficiency, economical energy consumption and precision temperature settings, allowing you to not only have total control over cooking temperatures but instant response in temperature changes and automatic ignition. All ILVE cooktops meet the highest standards of operational efficiency required for approval by the Australian and European Gas Association. Hob Burners ILVE’s quad ring high intensity burner is a high speed, high temperature burner rated at 19.4 Mjh. It has a broad diameter to provide even heat across a maximum surface area of a wok or frying pan allowing for cooking efficiency and elimination of localised hot spots which can cause burning and sticking. For all other models the griddle plates fit on the wok burner. Please consult your ILVE dealer for further details. ILVE’s conventional high efficiency medium burners are rated at 10 Mjh, while the small burners are rated at 5 Mjh and have a range of precision temperature settings from low simmer to medium and high. Pizza Stone ILVE’s multi fuel hobs are equipped with the usual combination of conventional gas burners with gas wok burner but can also be equipped with a variety of specialized electric hotplates. Options include the tepanyaki plate or the electric volcanic rock barbecue grill. Low Simmer A low simmer can be achieved by selecting a temperature between the off position and the high flame position on the selector knob. This feature is available on ILVE models which have a flame failure device (All except Compact and Maxi gas cooktops). This feature allows an accurate and safe simmer and complete control over the height of the flame. Trivets ILVE’s cooktop trivets are designed to provide exceptional stability for even the largest woks, frying pans and pots. The trivets are easily removable for cleaning (See page 14). Volcanic Rock Barbecue Grill ILVE’s volcanic rock electric barbecue grill is a low profile, 3cm deep, large dimension barbecue which features 12 temperature settings. Meat, poultry and seafood chargrilled on the barbecue grill remain succulent and moist while developing subtle smoky flavours. The volcanic rock barbecue grill is easily disassembled for ease of cleaning. ILVE Range Hoods A complete range of designer range hoods are available for all ILVE stoves and cooktops, please consult your ILVE dealer for further details. A flat ceramic pizza stone is available from ILVE and is for those cooks who like to make cakes and pastries, bake bread and make home made pizzas. This pizza stone fits onto any shelf in the oven and comes with its own ideas booklet. Safety Flame Failure Device All burners on ILVE cooktop and freestanding upright models, excluding the Maxi and the Compact series of gas cooktops, have a unique safety flame failure device. This feature instantly stops the flow of gas to a burner, if that burner is extinguished for any reason. You will need to hold the gas control knob in firmly once it lights for 10-15 seconds to override the thermocouple. Griddle Plate Optional cast iron griddle plates are available for ILVE cooktops. The griddle plates fit over the centre fish burner on 80, 90 120 and 150cm cooktops. Grilling Systems Electric There are two ways to grill food in an ILVE electric oven; by using radiant heat to cook the food or by using thermal grilling, a combination of radiant heat with thermal air flow. Traditional Grill The full roof area conventional grill system uses automatically controlled direct infra-red heat radiated from above for traditional grilling applications. The electric multifunction oven combines the advantages of infra-red heat with fan forced air assistance, allowing grilling on three levels at the same time. Both cooking techniques give exceptional results for a wide range of meat cuts such as chicken breasts, beef steaks, lamb and pork. It is also ideal for grilling fish and fish fillets. MODE 5 Full roof area conventional grilling mode In this mode the inner roof element heats up creating direct infra-red heat. This mode allows you to grill with the door either ajar or closed. Grilling with the door ajar may lead to the control knob heating up slightly. MODE 6 Hot air grilling system This mode utilises the fan combined with the infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated evenly around the oven. This is the ideal mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops and sausages on the top level whilst baking a potato bake on the lower level. The door must be closed during this grilling mode. 1. Select the grill mode (Mode 5) on the function control knob. 2. Turn the temperature control knob to 250º C. The oven heating indicator light at the front control panel comes on when the thermostat is energised and turns off once it has reached the selected temperature setting. ILVE TIP ■ When conventional grilling the oven door should always be open ■ The best settings for conventional grilling is between 175 – 190º C. ■ Care must be taken to make sure that there is at least 8cm between the top of items being grilled and the grill element to allow for unimpeded circulation of hot air (shelf 4). Fan Grilling 1. Position racks at heights according to food types and thickness (See hot air grill cooking guide) 2. Select the fan grill mode (Mode 5) on the function control knob. 3. Turn the temperature control knob to 175 – 180º C. 4. Allow oven to preheat for a minimum of four minutes depending on food types (See hot air grill cooking guide). When fan grilling on multiple shelves the oven door must be closed. The grill element at the top of the oven produces intense heat to sear the surface Gas of the meat while the fan moves this heat around the oven. Fan grilling eliminates the need to turn food over during the grilling process; however, turning is optional depending on the degree of browning desired. When using this function make sure that food is elevated to allow the hot air to circulate around the food. Food can be placed on grill grid inside a grill tray alternatively; meat can be placed on a wire oven rack positioned over an oven pan to make sure any drips are caught. Rotisserie Mode Shelf Positions 1. Insert rotisserie skewer into small opening on right side of oven wall cavity. 2. Leave oven door slightly ajar. 3. Turn grill function knob to temperature variance of your choice (1 – 12). • Refer to page 21 for cooking methods in your gas oven. Grilling Guide ILVE TIP ■ The oven door should always be closed during hot air grilling. ■ The temperature should be set from 175 – 180º, this range in temperature helps prevent food from burning and avoids splatter, minimising the need for cleaning. ■ The shelves are numbered 4 to 1 from top to bottom (See diagram above). ■ ILVE’s fan grill system can be used to cook on multiple shelves, for example grilling meat on top shelf, lasagna on middle shelf, garlic bread on bottom shelf, while warming plates on the bottom of the oven. Controlling smoke and splatter while grilling When grilling items such as sausages or fatty meats it is advisable to add 1 cup of water to the grill pan to control, drips, splatter and smoke.

Note: The information given in this chart is intended as a guide only. Oven Systems Electric All ILVE electric ovens are multifunctional and feature up to eleven cooking modes. This enables you to choose from a variety of pre-set functions depending on your cooking needs. Selection of the correct mode and oven temperature are important to obtain the best possible cooking results. All modes are pictured on your control knob and are numbered anti-clockwise. PREPARING YOUR ELECTRIC OVEN FOR USE ILVE electric ovens are equipped with both top and bottom elements, which can be used individually or together; radiating heat from above and below simultaneously or individually for specialist tasks such as au gratin style cooking, crisping pork crackling or to brown off a roast. By recessing the upper roof element and extending the cooking shelves to the rear of the oven, ILVE has created an oven interior which on average is 30% larger than ovens of similar style. These design features mean that more cooking space is available, so large roasts or four to five racks of food can be cooked easily. The ILVE electric oven also has a quick start or preheat mode which allows the oven to heat from 0 –180ºC in just 6 to 8 minutes. Setting the clock To enable use of your ILVE oven you must first set the clock to the correct time. If the clock is not set correctly the oven will not operate (See page 12) Using the oven When using your ILVE oven you must select, using separate knobs, both a mode of cooking and a temperature at which to cook. The only exception to this rule is when using the defrost mode or light mode, where no temperature setting is required. Temperature is indicated by an ORANGE light. This light will turn on and off during cooking as the thermostat readjusts itself. Cooking mode selection is indicated by a GREEN light. This light should stay on throughout the cooking process. All ILVE ovens are fitted with a cavity cooling fan. This fan is thermostatically controlled and automatically switches on when the oven cavity reaches 60ºC. This gently blows air out through the front lourve just above the oven door handle, reducing outside heat. Temperature ILVE ovens are well insulated and therefore highly efficient; as a result we recommend you may have to adjust cooking temperatures. In an ILVE oven a moder ate to hot temperature is 175ºC. You will find this temperature will not need to be exceeded, except for specific cooking requirements which call for high heat over a short period of time. Exceeding 175ºC when cooking may result in food cooking too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside. Preheating Roasting probe ILVE’s 948 model is equipped with a microprocessor controlled roasting probe which can be used to cook roasts to a precise finish. The probe is thermostatic and is inserted into the thickest part of the roast away from the bone. When the probe is fitted to the connection point, the thermometer activates. By pressing the + or – buttons you can program the probe to the desired temperature for the roast (to reset remove the probe from oven). ■ Roasting guide: Rare 45 degrees Medium 55 degrees Well-Done 65 degrees If the meat is left in the oven an alarm will sound and the oven will turn off when the desired temperature is reached. Always preheat your ILVE oven before placing food in it. To do this use the Quick Start mode (Mode 9) on your control knob. After the oven has reached temperature, indicated by the temperature light extinguishing, you may then switch the oven to your required mode.

Make one extra click clockwise and one extra click anticlockwise and the oven will operate with the light off. To switch the light back on, turn the selector one click anticlockwise and then two clicks clockwise. Return knob to the desired operating function with one click anticlockwise. This is the traditional static oven mode with no fan allowing heat from both above MODE 2 and below to convect simultaneously. This is the ideal function for cooking heavy Conventional cakes such as mud cakes or banana cakes, breads and large roasts. Such items need to be placed in a central position in the oven. Mode 9 is also the self-cleaning oven mode mode in models, which have self cleaning liners. MODE 3 Lower floor heating mode MODE 4 Upper element mode In this mode the upper element is in use. This is ideal for finishing omelettes, browning dishes such as cauliflower au gratin or finishing off lemon meringue pies or flans whose base has been previously baked using another mode. MODE 5 Conventional Grilling mode In this mode the complete inner roof element heats up simultaneously creating direct infra-red heat from above. This mode allows you to grill with the door either ajar or closed. Grilling with the door ajar may lead to the control knob heating up slightly. MODE 6 Hot Air Grilling mode This mode utilises the fan combined with the infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated evenly around the oven. This is the ideal mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops and sausages on the top level whilst baking a potato bake on the lower level. For best results the door should be closed during this grilling mode. MODE 7 Convection heating mode With both the top and bottom elements in use and the fan circulating hot air, this cooking mode is best suited for bread, cakes and sponges, where very even temperatures are required, even in the corners of the oven. This mode also creates less splatter when roasting. MODE 8 Advanced hot air mode The fan in all ILVE ovens is surrounded by a triple ring heating element that evenly distributes heated air throughout the oven. This mode is perfect for batch baking biscuits or muffins or for that large Christmas cake which requires low temperature cooking over a long time period. MODE 9 Quick Start or Pre-heat mode To obtain the best result from your oven it is recommended that you preheat it prior to use. Combining an advanced hot air function and conventional heating mode ILVE ovens can reach a temperature of 180°C in just 8 – 10 minutes. Once preheated the required cooking mode should be selected before proceeding with cooking. MODE 10 Defrost mode This function allows you to fan defrost at an ambient temperature. Unlike defrosting using your microwave this mode does not dry or par-cook food. Rotisserie mode (All models except 600mm and 700mm ovens) Roasting probe (Model 948 only) 10 This mode allows heat from the base of the oven. It is suitable for long, slow cooking such as stews and casseroles or for blind baking and finishing pastries. This mode is also perfect when using the ILVE Pizza Stone, for perfect pizzas cooked directly on the stone in a wood fired fashion. The rotisserie mode works in a similar way as traditional grilling and is one of the best ways to cook meat and poultry. With a right hand side motor drive in the oven, or rear in the 300mm ovens the ILVE rotisserie can accommodate up to three joints of meat or portions of poultry at once. ILVE’s 948 model is equipped with a microprocessor controlled roasting probe which can be used to cook roasts to a precise finish either rare, medium or well-done, taking the guess work out of cooking. Gas Ovens There are a four cooking options available with ILVE Gas Ovens: 1. 2. 3. 4. Static Gas Oven Fan Forced Gas Oven Rotisserie Electric Grill Cooking in your gas oven To use the gas oven open the door fully and select your mode of cooking, either static or fan forced. To do this you must turn the knob numbered 1 - 12 clockwise. By turning the knob clockwise and clicking it past 12, the fan-forced function is turned on. You can re-adjust the intensity of the grill element between 1 and 12. If the knob is not clicked past the 12 the oven will stay in static mode. Once you have selected a mode of cooking, the light will go on in the oven. Now press the thermostat knob gently and turn it anticlockwise towards maximum temperature position (250°C.). Press the thermostat knob right in to prime the electric ignition and keep pressing it for 10 - 15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and let the gas through. Make sure that the gas has lit and, after three minutes, close the door, then select the temperature (from 100°C to 250°C)*. Electric grill To use the electric grill in the gas oven turn knob numbered 1 – 12 clockwise to the grilling icon (A) then adjust the thermostat knob to the required temperature. ILVE TIP ■ Cooking with the electric grill must be carried out with the door of the oven closed. ■ The grill does not operate when the gas function of the oven is on. ■ It is advisable to preheat the grill for 5 minutes before putting food in. ■ Do not grill on the top level of the oven - for even grilling cook on the second level from the top. Rotisserie Function Knob (A) Thermostat Knob Still using the grill function, this function is also used as a rotisserie in all ovens (except 60cm). For example chicken, duck, beef and lamb can be spit roasted at temperatures up to 225°C. Vegetables can be also be placed in the baking tray whilst using the rotisserie to add flavour to them. Selecting the ventilated gas or electric function (For models with a VENTILATED GAS oven) Turn the knob (pictured right) to position 12 and then turn it past position 12 as far as it will go in a clockwise direction. This starts up the radial fan which is located inside the oven and provides forced ventilation during cooking. To light the ventilated electric grill apply the same steps as above. *NOTE: the electric grill will not work whilst the gas oven is in use.

Automatic programming of the start and end of cooking To programme the oven so that it starts and switches off automatically, you must set the time for the start of 13 Cleaning, Care and Maintainance 1. Before you start ILVE’s exclusive turbowave cooking system means lower and more accurate cooking temperatures and a reduction in cooking time and food splattering. These advances in oven design and technology means that ILVE ovens require less cleaning when compared to other ovens. As a safety precaution always switch off the power to the oven before commencing any cleaning or maintenance. Never use abrasive scourers or spray any chemical oven cleaners or caustic solution on the catalytic oven liners as this may cause damage, wash instead with soapy water. The introduction of the catalytic oven cleaning system of removable floor, racks and door glass, means that the once torturous task of cleaning your oven has become simplified. It is important to note that regular thorough cleaning will keep your oven looking good for an extended time. When removing oven shelves you must slide shelf out to the stopper using both hands before lifting front of the shelf up and sliding out. To replace shelves do the reverse of the above. It is advised that you wear oven mitts or heat protective gloves if oven has been turned on. To maintain your oven you must do a self clean on a regular basis, approximately every three to four months of normal usage. 2.Catalytic self cleaning liners Every ILVE oven (with the exception of the 200LM, 600LM and 800LM models) has catalytic liners. These have been pre-installed in your ILVE oven to make your life easier. As you cook the liners will absorb any fat that splatters keeping your oven cleaner. There can be four liners in your oven; one on either side, one on the rear and one on the roof of your oven. Only the side liners are removable. To maintain your oven you must regularly do a self clean to remove the fat absorbed in the liners during the cooking process. This may be weekly, monthly or yearly depending on oven usage. Fat build up is easily distinguishable by a slight discolouration of the liners. To do a self clean you must at the end of the cooking process, turn 14 the oven thermostat to 250 °C on conventional heating system for 10 - 20 minutes. Always ensure that you remove excess trays, side racks and the fat filter as any fat will burn on these items making cleaning extremely difficult. You may also need to wipe the door and inner glass if they have a lot of splatter on them. Leave the oven with the door closed and in this time the fat absorbed in the catalytic liners will burn off the liners and the elements. Once the oven is cool you may need to wipe the base of the oven with a damp sponge to remove the product of the burn off. Every six months you must wash the side liners to ensure longevity. The side liners can be washed in hot soapy water and are to be dried before placing them back in the oven. If you clean the enamel in your oven it is essential that you use a non caustic cleaner and spray that cleaner onto a soft cloth rather than spraying the cleaner directly into the oven. The fat filter at the rear of your oven has to be cleaned on a regular basis; the filter can be cleaned by hot soapy water, or in the dishwasher 3. Oven floor removal The entire floor of your oven is removable for cleaning purposes. Before floor removal your must first remove all trays and racks from the inside of the oven and remove the centred thumb screw on the side shelving racks. This will enable you to lift the side racks up and off the locating pins and out of the floor hole locks, which secure the floor into the oven. The oven floor will then simply slide out of the oven. the silver coated surface faces in towards the interior of the oven and that the top strip is replaced before screwing the glass back in place. 4.Removal of door and inner glass A For ease of cleaning ILVE have made their oven doors removable so that the interior oven glass can be removed and cleaned. All ILVE ovens use easy clean vitreous enamel interiors giving a smooth black non staining appearance. B a. Removal of door Open the door and lift catches (A) and hook into arm (B) on both sides. Lift door gently upwards (C), as if closing, using both hands placed either side of the outer glass edge and door should loosen. Gently pull the door up towards you, if force is needed the door is not in the correct position and you will need to repeat the procedure. To refit the door reverse the procedure. C b. Removal of inner glass ILVE oven doors are fitted with athermic door glass panels, the inner panels are removable. To remove glass open the door and unscrew the thumb screws (D&E) located on the top of door, remove top strip and gently remove glass (F&G) before washing in hot soapy water. The interior glass can also be cleaned with a damp cloth. When replacing the glass it is important that D E F G 15 Cleaning, Care & Maintainance COOKTOPS Clean the stainless steel cooktop surface after each use with a clean cloth and normal detergent. Make sure the detergent does not contain chloride or any chloride compound. For persistent stains use warm vinegar or a non-abrasive cleaner. If you need to polish a cooktop surface use a metal polish such as Auto Sol. Burner caps To make cleaning easier always wipe spills when they occur, do not leave them to dry as this makes cleaning harder. The brass burners will tarnish to a brown colour with use. To clean simply wash in warm soapy water to remove food splatter. Trivets Aluminium skirts Trivets should only be cleaned once they have cooled, to stop grazing from occurring. To clean trivets wash in sink with warm soapy water then dry immediately using a clean dry cloth. Do not use anything too abrasive such as a chrome detergent as this may cause damage. The aluminium skirt from the base of the burner may be washed in warm soapy water using a gentle scouring pad to remove any burnt on food splatter. A commercial product such as Autosol, which is designed for cleaning aluminium, can be used following makers’ instructions. Do not put skirts in the dishwasher as this may cause the aluminium to discolour. Enameled trivets may over a period of time discolour, this is due to exposure to a naked flame which may burn the enamel edge off the tips of trivets. This will not affect the performance of the cooktop Important information There are three components to a burner; a cap, brass burner and aluminium skirt. The cap is a cosmetic piece and is not necessary during the operation of the cooktop. It is advised that you 16 remove the cap during usage then replace after usage. The burner caps sit on the brass burners to clean remove and wash in warm water. Burner caps should not be put into cold water immediately after use, as grazing will occur, always allow caps to cool before cleaning. Brass burners Stainless steel Stainless steel can be cleaned using the ILVE cleaning cloth available from ILVE or a range of commercial products and stainless steel cleaners. Follow makers’ instructions, taking care when cleaning around the graphics. Never use abrasive products on the stainless steel as it will scratch the stainless steel. Teppanyaki plate Allow the teppanyaki plate to cool slightly and apply a commercial product such as Mr. Muscle Orange Energy. Allow to sit for five minutes then scrape plate with a flat spatula. For heavy build up a scourer may be required. Ceran cooktops When using a ceran cooktop it is advised to only use stainless steel pots with stainless steel bases. The bottom of the pan must be thick and fat and as close in diameter to the cooking zone as is possible. The surface of the hob and the bottom of the pan must be kept clean. The flat surface of the ceran makes it easy to maintain. All cleaning must occur when the cooktop is cold. When cold use a soft damp cloth to wipe over the cooktop and then dry gently. For a more precise clean a specialty cleaning product may be purchased from an outlet, never use abrasive products. Take care not to drop substances containing sugar on the hob, if this does happen clean with warm water immediately before the glass cools. Oven light replacement Replacement globes are available from the Ilve service department. When changing over the lamp always switch off the power first. Unscrew the glass cover over the globe by twisting it anticlockwise. If glass cover is hard to unscrew, heat oven slightly, as this will heat any fat that might be congealed around the glass, and unscrew using a cloth. Remove existing globe and fit new bulb, refit the glass cover and switch on the power. Ignition troubleshooting All ILVE burners have automatic ignition. To ignite a gas burner simply push the knob in and turn to the left. Ensure that the aluminium skirt and brass burner are sitting flush and that they are locked into each other. Check that the gas has been lit. If the burner fails to ignite or stay alight repeat process. If the burner still fails to ignite a match may be used with caution. If your cooktop has flame failure it will take 8 to 10 seconds for the flame to stay alight. If the problem persists call ILVE in your capital city for service. (Contact numbers are located on the back cover of this booklet) Range hoods Range hood filters need to be washed regularly by using warm soapy water and drying using a soft dry cloth. There are various commercial products available, which also may be used, following manufacturers’ directions for use. Cleaning filters in the dishwasher The heavy alkaline of dishwashing detergents could damage filters. If you choose to wash the filters in the dishwasher we recommend you use a hot rinse mode with no detergent.

Get to know the full range of features your ILVE appliance has to offer. Wok Cooking Stir-frying is the technique most associated with wok cooking. The idea behind traditional wok cooking is to cook thin strips of meat quickly over a high heat which sears and seals the meat, rather than stewing it. This technique retains the meat juices, flavour and tenderness. Vegetables and sauces are added to finish the dish. The specially designed trivets on the ILVE wok burner are designed to accommodate curved bottomed woks, while the quad ring burner provides the high heat needed to quickly sear meat and achieve the best results. ILVE TIP Always pat dry wet food with paper towel before putting into hot oil as hot oil will spit and spatter when it comes into contact with droplets of water. Pan Frying Pan frying is a popular and quick way of frying thin cuts of meat and vegetables in butter or oil. This should be done over a high heat so that food is seared and browned. 18 Rotisserie Steaming Steaming is the ideal way of cooking vegetables, particularly green leaf vegetables. The rotisserie is one of the best ways to cook meat. The rotisserie can accommodate up to three joints of meat or portions of poultry at once. Meat cooked this way will need approximately 40 to 50 minutes per kilo at a temperature of 180 to 200°C. This is a guide only; it is recommended that meat is checked every 30 minutes. Place a small quantity of water, usually no more than one cup, into a saucepan with a tight fitting lid. Place on a burner, on high heat and bring to the boil, then add well rinsed vegetables and cover with the lid. Do not allow the pan to dry burn. If you use a steaming rack which holds vegetables above the boiling water you can steam two or more vegetables at once in the same pan. Braising Braising is done in the lower part of the oven (Mode 8) and is great for tenderising cuts of meat and creating dishes such as braised steak and onions. Oil will begin to give off smoke when it is hot enough to commence cooking. To check the oil temperature put in a single item. If the test item is immediately surrounded by a ring of bubbles the oil is hot enough to start cooking. Extreme care must be taken when frying on cooktops. Pizza Stone You can use the pizza stone for both pizzas and sweet pastries. Deep Frying Use the quad ring wok burner on the cooktop for deep frying. Remember to bring the cooking oil to the correct temperature before adding the food to be cooked. The pizza stone can also be used for keeping your bread warm and crusty, just buy a good loaf of bread, warm in the oven and serve on the pizza stone. ILVE TIP After cooking wipe the pizza stone with wet cloth, the blacker it gets the tastier the food will be, just like with wok cooking and barbequing 19 Cooking with ILVE Simmering to wait for one batch to finish before starting the next. ILVE’s built-in three stage element and fan together with its self-cleaning feature and efficient fat filter enables a variety of foods to be cooked together without flavour transference. Low temperature cooking is a wonderful way of tenderising various cuts of meat, melding flavours together in sauces and curries and obtaining clear stocks and consommés. A low simmer can be achieved by selecting a temperature between the off position and the high flame position on the selector knob, when using large pots it is recommended that the large burner or wok burner is used. 20 Teppanyaki The teppanyaki plate is an ideal way of cooking delicate cuts of meat that require quick cooking methods. The heat in the plate will seal the meat trapping the natural juices and flavour without damaging the delicate texture. Ideal food for cooking this way include bacon, eggs, pikelets, pancakes, steaks, sausages, fish, prawns and poultry. Griddle Plate Batch Cooking The griddle plate is ideal for preparing succulent meals using a minimum of fat or oil. When frying fatty meats such as chops, sausages and bacon, much of the meat’s fats will drip into the griddle plate’s reservoir. This is a very healthy way of cooking meat while retaining tenderness and succulence. As an added bonus the griddle can be used as a food or plate warmer. ILVE’s advanced hot air systems are perfectly suited to batch cooking. The large oven capacity enables you to bake two standard family roasts side by side. You can also cook two chickens on the rotisserie simultaneously, bake racks of multilayered cakes, trays of biscuits, a variety of pies, loaves of bread and fancy pastries with perfect temperature control and without having Volcanic Rock Barbecue Grill When meat, poultry and seafood is chargrilled on the volcanic rock barbecue the food remains succulent and naturally moist whilst developing subtle smoky flavours which enhance both taste and appearance. Roasting The roasting method is one of the simplest ways to cook a large piece of meat. Roasting is often the method of choice because it yields a tender interior and browned exterior through prolonged oven cooking. One of the most attractive aspects of roasting to a busy cook is that while the roast is cooking, the cook is freed to perform any other tasks that need attention before dinner is served. Before beginning the oven cooking segment of the roasting process, the meat should be trimmed, seasoned and seared. The standard temperature for cooking roasts is 175ºC. Technically, the lower the heat of the oven, the better the final roasted product will be. At a lower temperature, the meat will COOKING IN YOUR ILVE GAS OVEN An ILVE fan forced gas oven has the base burner situated under the oven floor. The advantage of ILVE’s fan forced gas oven is that the heat is distributed evenly throughout, which makes it ideal for batch baking. However, the lower shelf is the hottest when baking so experiment with different shelf positions to obtain the best results. The thermostat in ILVE gas ovens is mechanical; it operates on a different system than electric ovens. There is no indicator light on the front of the panel of the upright to show you when the oven has reached the correct temperature, however the gas oven heats up fairly quickly due to the powerful gas burner at the base of the oven. A moderate to hot temperature take longer to cook but will produce more flavor and moisture. Never roast meat at a temperature below 93°C). Once the temperature to cook the roast at has been decided upon, and the oven preheated, place the trimmed, tied, sea- in gas ovens is 175°C. You cannot switch between the mode of cooking in the gas oven like you can in the electric - if you are cooking on the fan forced and then wish to use the grill then you must start again and ignite the grill. Cakes Cook cakes on the third shelf from the top on fan forced at approximately 150°C. This will give the cake a great colour and texture. Biscuits If doing more than one tray of biscuits at a time then use the top three levels only. The bottom shelf in oven is far to close to the burner and biscuits will burn underneath. Cook your biscuits at 140°C on fan forced so they cook evenly. soned, and seared meat onto a baking dish and into the oven. Roast the meat until its ideal internal temperature is reached. The ideal interior temperature will depend wholly on what type of meat is being roasted. For example, a roast pork loin’s final interior temperature should be around 70°C. Gauge the interior temperature of meat by using a meat thermometer or by using the ILVE Roasting Probe (available on some models only). Muffins Cook at 175°C on the third shelf from the top of the oven on fan forced. Muffins cook very well in the gas oven with a great colour and very even texture. Roasting Cook at 175°C on fan forced for half an hour per 500g. The gas oven is fantastic for roasting - the meat tends to be very moist and browns very well. Best cooked on the ILVE grilling dish. Grilling Grilling must be done on the second level from the top of the oven; the top level is too close to the grill. Position food towards the back half of the ILVE grilling dish so that the meat is closer to the direct heat. 21 ILVE Recipes 22 Vegetable Soup with Vermicelli Fettuccine with Chilli & Garlic Layered Vegetable Frittata Gourmet Pizza Tasmanian Scallops Creole Style Scampi with Lime & Orange Butter Sauce Marinated Seafood Skewers Chilli Salt Calamari Steamed Trout with Dill & Lemon Grilled Lamb Cutlets & Vegetables Rack of Lamb with Cheese and Semi-dried Tomato Mustard Crusted Roast Leg of Lamb Chicken Casserole with Moroccan Spices & Cous Cous Thai Stlye Chicken Panna Cotta Mini Christmas Cakes Lemon Curd Tart Hazelnut Torte with Chocolate Ganache Almond Shortbread Hearts Rosemary Damper Serves 4-6 Preparation time 20 minutes Cooking time 25 minutes Ingredients: 2 large onions, sliced thinly ½ cup (125ml) olive oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 large capsicums, sliced thickly 2 cups carrots, sliced thinly 3 cups potatoes, diced in 1cm cubes 7 cups (1.75L) vegetable or chicken stock 2 cups beans, cut into 2.5cm pieces 2 zucchini, halved then sliced thickly 250g vermicelli ½ cup coarsely chopped parsley Salt and pepper to taste ➊ Sauté onion, in a heavy stockpot until soft.

The range hood will need to be reset, for ease with lighting, use a match stick or tooth pick. Push down the hidden button located in the small hole to the right of the speed control buttons. Refer to information sheet, included with rangehood. Range hood is noisy This could be due to the installation. Please check that the range hood is installed with the correct sized ducting. Soft type flexible ducting can cause hood to be noisy. ILVE recommends ridged ducting, maximum length 4 metres. Both lights and fan don’t work Before calling for service, try turning power to range hood on then off. If the power point is not accessible, this can be done at the meter box, this will reset the range hood. COOK TOPS My burners will not ignite Check to see if the brass burners are placed correctly into the aluminium base. This is very important as it will ensure the flame holes line up with the ignition post. It will also ensure correct combustion when alight. Does your ILVE cooktop have flame failure devices fitted? Ensure burners are located correctly as above. When burner is lit, ensure knob is firmly depressed for 5 to 10 seconds. If new, ensure knobs are firmly fitted, check by pushing knobs down firmly with the palm of your hand. My ignition continually sparks This may be due to a liquid spill over, which can cause moisture to enter into ignition micro switches under knobs. Spraying liquid type cleaners can also create a problem. If this does occur, the cook top should be turned off at power point and left to dry out. Removing all knobs and using a hair dryer on the control panel, will assist the drying out process. All the igniters spark at the same time when lighting This is normal and how they are designed to operate. The knob is loose on shaft Knob retaining spring clip has come out.This does not require a service technician and can be replaced by customer. Please contact your ILVE state office, who will arrange for a clip to be sent to you. OVENS How do I change the door seals? Please note: the replacement of oven door seals does not require a service technician. Door seals are easily replaced, please contact your ILVE state office, who will arrange for a replacement to be sent. If out of warranty please contact the ILVE spare parts department. My oven will not turn on but clock is illuminated (digital type clock) If an “A” is showing in display the clock needs to be reset, this can be done by pressing the cooking time and end of cooking time buttons simultaneously while pressing the +/- buttons and setting the correct time. The “A” (automatic) symbol should now be gone and the oven should now turn on. The above problem can occur after a power interruption, on when the power is first turned on to the appliance. Oven will not turn on (Analogue type clock) For the oven to work manually the hand symbol must be displayed in the little window on clock. My oven smokes when turned on This is a natural occurrence and is caused by the self-clean burning off process. A good tip: leave oven on at a high temperature for 10 minutes after removing cooked food. This will burn off any splatter and prevent the oil from going cold. It will then start to burn off when oven is next turned on. Please note: all ovens will occasionally require to be dismantled and cleaned internally, even if self-clean liners are fitted. Do not use oven cleaner on self-clean liners. My oven gets too hot externally Check that the correct ventilation has been allowed. See illustrations of ventilation requirements in installation book. Please note that being an oven, the external panels will warm up after the oven has been on for over an hour, at high temperatures. This is normal heat transfer; the panels can heat up to around 60ºC. 43 IGNITE YOUR PASSION FOR COOKING NEW SOUTH WALES 48-50 Moore Street, Leichhardt NSW 2040 Ph: (02) 8569 4600 Fax: (02) 8569 4699 SOUTH AUSTRALIA 73 Welland Ave, Welland SA 5007 Ph: (08) 8340 5200 Fax: (08) 8340 8933 VICTORIA 1211 Toorak Road, Hartwell VIC 3146 Ph: (03) 9809 2122 Fax: (03) 9809 2155 TASMANIA Ph: (03) 6343 0944 Fax: (03) 6344 3082 QUEENSLAND 1/42 Cavendish Road, Coorparoo QLD 4151 Ph: (07) 3397 0900 Fax: (07) 3397 0850 QUEENSLAND COUNTRY Ph: (07) 5477 5844 Fax: (07) 5477 5866 WESTERN AUSTRALIA 10/55 Howe Street, Osborne Park WA 6017 Ph: (08) 9201 9299 Fax: (08) 9201 9188 NEW ZEALAND P.O.
