ACCESSORIES
The number and type of accessories may vary depending on which model
is purchased. Other accessories that are not supplied can be purchased
separately from the After-sales Service.
WIRE SHELF Use to cook food or as asupport for pans,
cake tins and other ovenproof items of cookware.
DRIP TRAY * Use as an oven tray for cooking meat, sh,
vegetables, focaccia, etc. or position underneath the
wire shelf to collect cooking juices.
BAKING TRAY * Use for cooking all bread and pastry
products, but also for roasts, sh en papillotte, etc.
ROASTING SPIT * For even roasting of large pieces of
meat and poultry.
Insert the wire shelf onto the level you require by holding it tilted slightly
upwards and resting the raised rear side (pointing upwards) down first.
Then slide it horizontally along the shelf runners as far as possible. The
other accessories, such as the baking tray, are inserted horizontally by
sliding them along the shelf runners.
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES
The shelf guides can be removed to facilitate the oven cleaning: pull
them to remove from their seats.
USING THE ROASTING SPIT (only in some models)
Push the skewer through the centre of the meat
(bound with string if poultry) and slide the meat
onto the skewer until it is positioned rmly on the
fork and cannot move. Push the second fork onto
the skewer and slide it on until it holds the meat
rmly in place.
Tighten the xing screw to secure it in position.
Insert the end into the recess provided in the
oven's cooking compartment and rest the
rounded part on the support (placed on the third
level).
To use the roasting spit, start the oven by selecting the “Grill” function.
To collect the cooking juices, position a dripping pan below and add
200 ml of drinking water. To avoid burning yourself when the skewer
is hot, only handle it by the plastic handle (which must always be
removed before cooking).

FIRST TIME USE
FITTING THE COVER ON THE BURNER
To t the cover on the burner correctly, place it on the bottom of the
cooking compartment. Position it so that the words “AVANTI - FRONT”
are facing the outside and so that the cover cannot move sideways
once lowered into position.
HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during
manufacturing: this is completely 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 lm from the oven and remove any accessories from inside
it.
Heat the oven to 250° C for about one hour. The oven must be empty
during this time.Follow the instructions for setting the function
correctly.
Please note: it is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the
first time.

We suggest placing food on the 5th shelf. When grilling meat, we
recommend using a dripping pan to collect the cooking juices: Position
it on the 4th shelf, adding approx. 200 ml of drinking water.
Preheat the oven for 3-5 minutes. The oven door must remain closed
during cooking. The roasting spit (if provided) can be used with this
function.
To select the “Grill” function, turn the adjustment knob to symbol.

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLES
The table lists recipes , if preheating is needed , temperature
, cooking time , accessories and level suggested for cooking.
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.
Accessories showed:
Wire Shelf
Cake tin on wire shelf
Drip tray / baking tray
Cake tin on wire shelf or drip tray / baking tray
Tray with water
. SETTING THE TIMER
This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to
use the minute minder both while a function is active and when the
oven is o. To activate the timer, turn the timer knob right round in
an clockwise direction and then turn it back in the opposite direction
to the desired duration: An acoustic signal will warn you when the
countdown is nished.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.
Wear protective gloves.
The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.
EXTERIOR SURFACES
Clean surfaces with a damp microbre cloth. If they are very dirty,
add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish o 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 microbre 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.
Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.
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.
CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS (ONLY IN SOME MODELS)
This oven could be equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate
cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-
cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and
grime. These panels are tted to the shelf guides: When repositioning
and then retting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top
are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.
1 2
To make best use of the catalytic panels’ self-cleaning properties, we
recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the
“Convection Bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time.
Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food
residues using a non-abrasive sponge.
Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes,
pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and
compromise its self-cleaning properties. Please contact our After-sales
Service if you require replacement panels.
REPLACING THE LAMP
Disconnect the oven from the power supply, unscrew the cover from
the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.
Reconnect the oven to the power supply.
Please note: Only use 20-40 W/230 V type G9, T300 °C halogen bulbs. The
bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances
and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC
Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.
If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your
fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover
has been refitted.
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in
the unlock position (1). Close the door as much as you can (2).
Take a rm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the
handle. Simply remove the door (3) by continuing to close it while
pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its
seating (b).

ACCESSOIRES
Le nombre et type d’accessoires peuvent varier selon le modèle acheté.
Pour les accessoires qui ne sont pas fournis, il est possible de les acheter
séparément auprès du Service Après-Vente.
GRILLE MÉTALLIQUE Utilisée pour cuire des aliments
ou comme support pour les lèchefrites, moules à
gâteau, et autres plats de cuisson résistants à la

de boulangerie-pâtisserie, mais aussi la viande rôtie, le
poisson en papillotes, etc.
TOURNEBROCHE* pour le rôtissage uniforme des gros
morceaux de viande et de volaille.
Insérez la grille métallique au niveau désiré en la tenant légèrement
inclinée vers le haut et en déposant la partie surélevée arrière (pointant
vers le haut) en premier. Glissez-la ensuite horizontalement sur les
glissières aussi loin que possible. Les autres accessoires, comme la plaque

UTILISATION DU TOURNEBROCHE (uniquement sur certains modèles)
Poussez la broche à travers le centre de la viande
(attachez la volaille avec de la celle) et glissez la
viande jusqu'à la fourchette; la viande ne doit plus
pouvoir bouger. Poussez la deuxième fourchette
sur la broche pour qu'elle maintienne la viande
fermement en place.
Serrez la vis de xation. Introduisez l'extrémité
dans la cavité du compartiment de cuisson et
posez la partie arrondie sur le support (au
troisième niveau).
Pour utiliser le tourne-broche, allumez d'abord la
