IMPORTANT: - As a safety precaution, before cleaning the oven, always disconnect
the plug from the outlet or remove the appliance’s power cord.
- In addition, avoid using acid or alkaline substances (such as lemon,
vinegar, salt, tomatoes, etc.). Avoid using products containing chlorine,
acids or abrasives, especially for cleaning painted parts.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Although the cooking chamber is made of high-quality steel, incorrect
maintenance can cause corrosion;
- The oven must be cleaned periodically and all food residues must be
removed;
- Do not clean the oven immediately after the dish has been removed
because the residual drops of steam are still very hot (danger of burns);
check that the display shows a low residual temperature or none.
- Take care when opening the door when the oven is on because the
exiting steam can cause burns.

- If the electricity is interrupted, when it comes back on, the oven
requires you to empty the circuit even though there shouldn’t be any
water in it.
- Do not use rough abrasives or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass
door of the oven because they could scratch the surface and cause the
glass to shatter.
- During cleaning, take care that no water enters the appliance.
- Use only slightly damp rags.
- Never spray water inside or outside of the appliance.
- Do not use steam devices for cleaning because water that penetrates
could cause damage.
- Do not use the appliance for heating or humidifying the room.
- Make use of the “child lock” key.
- The appliance must be installed and used in an ambient temperature
between 5 °C and 35 °C.
- If there is a risk of frost, the residual water in the pumps could freeze
and damage them.
- Use only the thermal probe recommended for this oven.

IMPORTANT
The oven’s identification plate is even accessible when the appliance is installed. This
identification plate, which is visible when you open the door, shows all the information you will
need when requesting replacement parts for the appliance.
FIRST USE
The oven should be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water and carefully rinsed.
Heat the oven for about 30 minutes at the maximum temperature; this eliminates all the residual
manufacturing oils that could cause unpleasant odours during cooking. Use the circular plus fan
function without accessories in the oven. Before using the accessories for the first time, clean
them carefully with a very hot alkaline washing solution and a soft cloth.
USING THE FLAT GRILL
To remove the flat grill, pull the grill towards you until it stops and then lift, by pulling upwards, until
it comes completely out. To insert the flat grill, slide it in at an angle of 45° until it locks and then
lower it horizontally and push it all the way in.
If the flat grill has a low drip tray, to remove it lift it slightly and slide it towards you. To reinsert it,
slide it back until it is correctly seated.

USING THE PERFORATED TRAY
This tray is used for steam cooking and is positioned on the flat grill together with its support.
We recommend also using it in combination with the drip tray to catch everything the drips from
the food during cooking.

INTRODUCTION TO THE OVEN
Dear Customer, your new oven is controlled by an electronic board that constantly monitors its
operation to improve its performance.
The touch control is state-of-the-art, precise and reliable.
The interface is elegant, orderly and discrete, more intuitive than ever!
A few keys, many functions, no difficult key combinations or sequences: you just concentrate on
following the recipe and the oven is ready with two gestures!
INSTALLATION AND HOOK-UP
Dear Customer, this oven is a sophisticated electronic appliance, classified as a durable good. Its
installation requires qualified professionals for both the hook-up of the power line and its
placement in the kitchen counter.
First hook-up
When the oven is connected to the electric mains for the first time, the display will ask you to
select your language;
select the desired language with the keys ;
use the keys to confirm your choice.
From now on, that language will remain selected even after power blackouts. Go to DEMO
MODE.

DEMO MODE
This is the mode that the oven is normally in every time that there is a power failure and,
consequently, when it is first hooked-up.
The purpose is to show how you can control it with a recorded sequence of commands.
In this mode, the oven is NEVER really turned on, i.e., the heating elements are never powered!
The control panel is INACTIVE and, so, the oven will not respond to commands!
To disable the demonstration mode, touch the light
symbol for five seconds: the oven will go to normal
operation and be ready for turning on.
Now you can set the time but it is not necessary for
turning on the oven.
SETTING THE CLOCK
The oven will signal that it is connected to the power mains with a double beep.
To set the system time, press the “TIMER FUNCTIONS” button for at least 3 seconds.
Each command activated is confirmed by a beep.
5 sec.

Set the clock with the + and - buttons: during
setting the separator dots flash and the time has
been set when the dots remain steady on.
ACTIONS POSSIBLE WITH THE OVEN OFF
- Turning on the oven light
The oven light is turned on/off by pressing the
symbol as shown in the figure.
- Change the language
When the oven is off, you can change the language of the display by simultaneously selecting
and the + in the lower right for at least 3 seconds.
Then, use to select the language and confirm your choice with .
TURNING ON THE OVEN
Turn the oven on by touching the symbol in the figure.
to activate the oven functions, always press except for the light and timer functions, which are
independent. The command activates all the icons by lighting up their backgrounds.
NOTE: Remember that the oven only turns on if the key function is deactivated

The word ON appears on the display for a minute. The control is waiting for you to select a
cooking function. Otherwise, the oven assumes that it was turned on by accident and, for
safety reasons, it automatically turns off, displaying the word OFF for several seconds.
Key (or child safety) function
The key function is activated/deactivated by pressing the key for at least 3 seconds.
You can activate and deactivate the oven mode at
any time.
The padlock OPEN
symbol means that
the key function is not
active.
The padlock CLOSED
symbol means that the
key function is active.

The cooking functions
The panel provides eleven specific cooking functions!
To activate a function, just touch the corresponding symbol. Each function has a temperature
setting selected on the basis of cooking tests of the recipes that are typically used, which can be
easily changed based on your own experience.

Oven functions
Oven lamp.
In this type of cooking, a fan located in the rear part circulates warm air inside
the oven, distributing it uniformly. This cooks food faster than conventional
cooking. This system is good for cooking on several shelves and even for
different types of foods (fish, meat, etc.).
Type of cooking for grilling or browning foods. The grill with the food to be cooked is
placed in the 2nd or 3rd position from the bottom. Pre-heat for at least 2 minutes before
putting in the dish.
Steam cooking 100 °C (pre-set to 100°C and adjustable to 40 °C).
Steam cooking at 130 °C (reheating)
Steam combined with ventilated cooking
Steam puff
Clean oven/Circuit steam generator (settable or automatic programs for the efficiency of
the oven)
Access to preset recipes
The table below shows the results of the cooking tests conducted in our laboratories by a
professional cook. In any case, these are only indicative and the values that we have selected are
only a starting point for you to experiment with your own recipes to obtain better results!

Simple cooking commands
Thanks to state-of-the-art controls, only two touches are required to set a cooking mode:
turn on the oven and select the most suitable function for the dish you are about to cook… you
choose it and you touch it!
then
The control suggests a temperature for each function, which you can change at any time, but if
you consider it suitable, you don’t need to do anything else, the oven will start by itself in just a
few seconds!
Setting the temperature
The control uses a temperature probe that is accurate to ±5 °C for the maximum reliability of the
cooking temperatures requested. You can change the temperature at any time. After selecting the
cooking function just touch the symbols and the temperature can be set in a range from
+50 °C to MAX.
You don’t need to confirm the change, the control
activates by itself after a few seconds.
During heating, the centigrade symbol (°C) flashes
to indicate that it is heating up to reach the selected
temperature.
When the temperature is reached, it beeps.
NOTE: some models may display the current temperature in the oven until the temperature set is
reached. If you want to check the temperature set, press any one of the keys and, if you
wish, you can use them to change the temperature set.
Note: always be very careful when opening the door of the appliance because, depending on the
case, steam or boiling hot air could come out.

Residual heat
While cooking food, the structure of the oven stores heat. This heat is kept isolated from the rest
of the kitchen thanks to generous heat insulation and certain construction techniques. This heat is
gradually dissipated over time and can still be a resource in the kitchen, if it is managed: the
control shows the internal temperature after the oven is turned off until it falls to 50 °C
Use this characteristic to keep foods warm or to complete their cooking gently!
Food Probe (or thermometer probe)
Tenderness, aroma and flavour are the result of precise,
functional control.
The food probe is a thermometer which, when inserted
into the food, makes it possible to check the internal
temperature and use it to establish the end of cooking.
For example, meat may look like it is cooked on the
outside, but still be pink on the inside!
The temperature reached by food during cooking is closely
linked to problems relating to health and hygiene. Bacteria
can be contained in every kind of meat, poultry and fish,
as well as raw eggs.
Certain types of bacteria make food go off, while others,
such as Salmonella, Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria
monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus
aureus can be seriously harmful to human health. Bacteria
multiply very quickly above a temperature of 4.4° up to
60°C. Mince is particularly at risk from this point of view.
To prevent bacteria from multiplying, it is necessary to take the following measures:
- Do not defrost food at room temperature, always in the fridge or in the oven using the specific
function. In the latter case, cook the food immediately afterwards.
- Stuff chicken just before eating it. Never buy pre-packed ready suffed chicken and only buy
ready-cooked stuffed chicken when you intend to eat it within 2 hours.
- Marinate food in the fridge, not at the room temperature.
- Use a food probe to check the temperature of meat, fish and poultry if they are more than 5
cm thick, to ensure that the minimum cooking temperatures are reached. The greatest
hazards are posed by poorly cooked chicken, particularly at risk from Salmonella.
- Avoid interrupting the cooking process, i.e., partially cooking food , storing it and completing
the cooking process later. This sequence encourages the growth of bacteria due to the
“warm” temperatures reached inside the food.
- Roast meat and poultry in the oven at temperatures of at least 165°C.

NOTE: Always use the probe provided by the manufacturer
HOW USE THE FOOD PROBE
As you can see from Figure 1 above, the probe socket is located in the upper left corner of the
oven chamber, protected by a metal cover with plug.
Remove the cover and insert the plug of the probe all the
way (you will hear a slight confirming click).
Insert the probe in the food without touching fatty parts
or bones.
Remember that the probe will not work if it is connected when the oven is already switched on!
In summary:
- Insert the probe with the oven off.
- Put the food in the oven.
- Insert the probe in the center of the food, avoiding fatty parts and bones.
- Turn oven with the most appropriate cooking function for your dish.
- Select the temperature you want.
- After a few moments, the oven will begin to cook. The display shows the temperature (66°C
pre-set) of the probe which you can change using the buttons within the allowed limits
of 30 to 99 °C.
- If you want to change the temperature of the oven during cooking, press the button, which
turns red and allows you to change it, always using the buttons; when you are finished,
the display will show the current temperature of the oven.

In any case, we recommend that you consult the following table taken from the National Food
Safety Database (USA).

NOTE: IF THE PLUG OF THE PROBE IS REMOVED AFTER COOKING HAS STARTED,
THE CONTROL BLOCKS THE OVEN AND DISPLAYS THE ERROR “CENTRE PROBE
DISCONNECTED”.
When cooking with the aid of the food probe, all the pre-set temperatures are changed to 165
°C (except for steam) to be consistent with its philosophy of use: they can be changed from a
minimum of 120 °C to a maximum of 250 °C.

Cooking ends when the internal temperature set for the food probe is reached; all oven
programming functions (timer functions) are inhibited except for the “Minute-counter”
When finished cooking, always remember to disconnect the probe and insert the plug
provided with the appliance.
Oven light control
The oven light control is active in all cooking functions and is independent of them, i.e., it can be
turned on or off depending on the need, whenever you want!
The oven light is normally kept on during heating and, then, for three minutes after the
temperature setting is reached. After that time, the light is turned off to save energy.
To check how the food is cooking, you must turn on the inside light. To do this, just touch the light
symbol : it will stay on for three minutes and then turn off by itself. Of course, you can turn it off
right away by touching the light symbol again. The light inside the oven always turns on when the
door is opened and remains on until the door is closed.
PROGRAMMING THE OVEN
The oven program has three ways to control the cooking time, in
combination with all the other cooking functions.
Touch the timer symbol once and the relative symbol will
light up. Plus, the clock display will replace the current
time.
The separator dots flash to indicate that you can program
the cooking time

Once the cooking time is entered, the display will flash the current time
again and the “cooking time” symbol will be lit.
The countdown starts now. After the indicated cooking time has elapsed, the oven will beep and
the heating elements will turn off, ending cooking. The following words will appear on the display:
“Program finished remove the dish”: press any button to stop the beeping or open the door.
After 1 minute, the oven will automatically turn off, if other cooking functions have not been set.
Timer programming: end-of-cooking time
Touch the timer symbol two times and the
relative symbol will light up.
The separator does will flash to indicate
that you can set the end-of-cooking time.
Set the end-of-cooking time by touching
the “+” and “-” symbols.
Once the end-of-cooking time is entered, the display will flash the current
time again and the “end-of-cooking time” symbol will be lit.
The countdown starts now. When the set time has been reached, the oven will beep and the
heating elements will turn off, ending cooking. The following words will appear on the display:
“Program finished remove the dish”: press any button to stop the beeping or open the door.
After eight seconds, the oven will automatically turn off, if other cooking functions have not been
set.
Timer programming: delayed cooking
By combining the two modes, “cooking time” and “end-of-cooking time”, you can program the
oven so that cooking starts later than the current time.
For example, if you want to go out at 8:30 and you want a roast to be ready when you return at
13:00, do this:
Prepare the roast for cooking and put it in the oven.

Turn on the oven, select the cooking function and set the temperature.
Then set the cooking time, which we
assume to be two hours.
Now, set the end-of-cooking time: the control
normally adds the cooking time to the current time,
so it proposes an end-of-cooking time, which in our
case would be 10:30 (8:30+2:00).
Change the end-of-cooking time to what you want, in our example 13:00.
The oven goes to standby mode, turning off the oven light. The control automatically turns the
oven on at 11:00 (13:00-2:00) and turns it off at 13:00. The roast will be ready when you return!
Programming the timer: minute-counter
The minute-counter is a function of the timer that is independent from the operation of the oven,
i.e., it does not stop cooking or turn off the oven but functions as an alarm.
You can set it at any time, such as to remind you when to check cooking on the burners, in
addition to the oven, or for other kitchen tasks. It is even available when the oven is off and, in this
case, just touch the timer function symbol one time. But, if you are using it with the oven on, you
must touch the time function symbol three times:
