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 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 activate the electric grill
element.
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 too
close to the burner and biscuits will burn
underneath.
Cook your biscuits at 140°C on fan
forced so they cook evenly.
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 texture and very even colour .
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 baking tray.
Grilling
Grilling must be done on the second level
from the top of the oven; the top level is
too close to the grill.

Rotisserie
This is done on the static grill function. The rotisserie can weight
bear up to 8kg. Skewer your desired meats onto the rotisserie
rod and secure in place with the forks. Set up baking tray (black
tray) with the rotisserie cradle, this goes into level 1. Place
meat inside oven and turn Function knob (A) to 12 for the first
8 minutes. This helps to ensure the skin will seal and lock in
juices. After the 8 minutes, turn down to number 6 or 7.
When the meat is cooked, remove from oven and allow to rest
before carving. If you wish to cook your roast potatoes, put them
in the oven at the same time as the meat. They will take longer to
cook compared to normal roasting. Whilst the meat is resting, you
may want to brown off the potatoes if desired. To do this, move
the baking dish to level 4, turn function knob (A) to 9 and grill for
5 minutes or until browned.
*NOTE: the electric grill will not work whilst the gas oven is in
use.
