CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
FORCED AIR
For cooking different foods that require the
same cooking temperature on several shelves
(maximum three) at the same time. This function
can be used to cook different foods without odours
being transferred from one food to another.
MAXI COOKING
For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5
kg). We recommend turning the meat over during
cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We
also recommend basting the joint every so often to
prevent it from drying out excessively.
PIZZA
For baking different types and sizes of pizza
and bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of
the baking trays halfway through cooking.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages,
cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread.
When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray
to collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.
TURBO GRILL
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a drip tray to
collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.

normal.
Before starting to cook food, we therefore
recommend heating the oven with it empty in order
to remove any possible odours.
Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film
from the oven and remove any accessories from inside
it.
Heat the oven to 250 ° C for about one hour,
preferably using the “Maxi Cooking” function. The

EXTERIOR SURFACES
• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth.
If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral
detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of
these products inadvertently comes into contact with
the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with
a damp microfibre cloth.
INTERIOR SURFACES
• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then
clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove
any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To
dry any condensation that has formed as a result of
cooking foods with a high water content, leave the
oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth
or sponge.
• If there is stubborn dirt on the interior surfaces, we
recommend running the automatic cleaning function
for optimal cleaning results.
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid
detergent.
• The door can be easily removed and refitted to
facilitate cleaning of the glasses.
ACCESSORIES
Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution
after use, handling them with oven gloves if they
are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a
washing-up brush or a sponge.
Do not use steam cleaning
equipment.
Use protective gloves during all
operations.
Carry out the required
operations with the oven cold.
Disconnect the appliance from
the power supply.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive
scourers or abrasive/corrosive
cleaning agents, as these could
damage the surfaces of the
appliance.
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
1. To remove the door, open it fully and lower the
catches until they are in the unlock position.
2. Close the door as much as you can.
Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not
hold it by the handle.
Simply remove the door by continuing to close it
while pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is
released from its seating (b).
~60°
a
b
~15°
Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.
3. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven,
aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating
and securing the upper part onto its seating.
4. Lower the door and then open it fully.
Lower the catches into their original position: Make
sure that you lower them down completely.
5. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it
lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat
the steps above.
CLICK & CLEAN  CLEANING THE GLASS
1. After removing the door and resting it on a soft
surface with the handle downwards, simultaneously
press the two retaining clips and remove the upper
edge of the door by pulling it towards you.
2. Lift and firmly hold the inner glass with both
hands, remove it and place it on a soft surface before
cleaning it.
3. Refit the intermediate pane (marked with “1R”)
before refitting the inside pane: To position the panes
of glass correctly, make sure that the “R” mark can be
seen in the left-hand corner. First insert the long side
of the glass indicated by “R” into the support seats,
then lower it into position.
Repeat this procedure for both panes of glass.
4. Refit the upper edge: A click will indicate correct

power and whether the oven is connected to
the electricity supply.
Turn off the oven and restart it to see if the
fault persists.

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and
level to use to cook various different types of food.
Cooking times start from the moment food is placed
in the oven, excluding preheating (where required).
Cooking temperatures and times are approximate
and depend on the amount of food and the type
of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended
settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked
enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the
accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured
metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use
Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in
mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “Forced Air” function, you can cook
different foods which require the same cooking
temperature at the same time (for example: fish and
vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food
which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the
food which requires a longer cooking time in the
oven.
BREAD AUTO FUNCTION
For best results you should carefully follow the
instructions, using the recipe for mixing 1000 g of
dough: 600 g of flour, 360 g of water, 11 g of salt, 25 g
of fresh yeast (or two packets of yeast powder).
For optimal rising, allow about 90 minutes at room
temperature or 60 minutes in the oven using the
“Rising” function.
Put the dough into the (cold) oven, pour 100 cc of
cold drinking water on to the bottom of the oven and
activate the “Bread Auto” function. After cooking,
leave the dough to stand on a wire shelf until
completely cooled.
