OVEN COOKING
The internal temperature of the oven depends
on the combustion speed and on the amount of
combustible used. In particular, working on the
primary air regulator and so on the speed com-
bustion, you can obtain a more steady combustion
in order to avoid sudden changes in temperature
inside the oven. If you want to heat the oven start-
ing from cold cooker, we suggest to increase the
temperature with bright fire and then to decrease
the speed combustion to keep the temperature
steady. The cookers are endowed with fire door
with glass and thermometer that makes easier the
temperature controlling operations; the tempera-
ture indicated by the thermometer is approximate
ad is useful only for the cooking of foods. If you
want to brown the meals, you should keep them in
the upper part of the oven: instead, if you want to
cook in a steadier way you should keep the meals

OVEN LIGHT
The cookers have a light inside the oven which,
together with the wide glass of the door, allows to
control the cooking process at sight without ope-
ning the door. The lighting switch is located on a
lateral upright you can find extracting the wood
box.

HEATING
Wood fired cookers may be used also to heat the
ambient in which they are installed. The heating
comes from the plate and from the front of the
cooker. So the heating is effective just in the ambi-
ent in which the cooker is inserted and in particu-
lar near the cooker itself.
Also for the heating of an ambient you have to
start the cooker with bright flame without using
in the centre. When you do not use the oven, we
suggest to keep the oven's door slightly open in
order to let the heat go outside the cooker: an
overheating can damage the cooker.
For example, to cook the spineless person biscuits in
a correct way, it is necessary the pre-heating of the
oven at a temperature indicated on the thermometer
of 150°, keeping it in temperature by adding more or
less 1 Kg of wood for every charge as the reaching
of the coals. Once the temperature becomes stable,
insert the baking-pan with the biscuits in the central
position in the oven for 10 minutes, then extract the
baking-pan, rotate it and reinsert it again in the cen-
tral position for other 5 minutes. In the end, remove
the baking-pan from the oven and leave cool the bis-
cuits.

too much wood as long as a bed of cinders is creat-
ed: at this point you can put more load of combus-
tible inside the combustion chamber. For a bigger
autonomy of the cooker we suggest to use wood
cut in big pieces, hard if possible (ash-tree, beech,
hornbeam and others) and to make the regulations
as described for the slow heating.
