Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.
Note:In“Fastcooking”mode,thefancomesonautomatically
only when the oven is hot.
Reminder: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system
which detects any malfunctions.The user is informed of the
latter by messages such as “F n m ” that come up on the
display( n and m = singledigitnumbers).In thesecases,you
need to call for technical assistance as the oven is faulty.
HowTo UseYour Oven
Turnknob Bto select the desired cooking mode.Theoven

the icon mwill flash on the display, and the cooking tem-
perature associated with the mode selected will be
displayed: should this value not be the one you desire,
you can modify it simply by turning knob C.
Oncepre-heatingis complete,an acoustic signalwillsound
and the icon mwill come on permanently, and at this
stage you can place the food to be cooked inside the pre-
heated oven.
Note:the FAST COOKING and GRILL modes do not inclu-
de a pre-heating phase. Please remember that you can
always do the following when cooking is under way:
• change the cooking mode by turning knob “B”;
• change the temperature by turning knob“C”;
• programme the cooking time and end cooking time (see
paragraph entitled “Programming the cooking mode”).
• stop it at any time by setting knob “B”back to 0.
Note: For safety reasons, a cooking time of 2 hours is set
for each cooking mode by default. Should this time fail to
beadjusted, the ovenwill be automatically turned off once
this time is up.
Notice: Place the oven tray provided on the bottom shelf of
the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping
onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when
using the turnspit (only available on certain models).For all
othertypes ofcooking,neverusethe bottomshelfandnever

This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably
prolongedcookingtimes,suchasforexample:lasagne,pasta

bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the
excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower
temperatures when cooking roasts.This results in less loss
of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the
loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is
especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared
with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus
maintaining their flavour and appearance.Excellent results
can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes
like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc.
Desserts:thismodeisalsoperfectforbakingleavenedcakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white
or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C.
To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or
use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the
thermostat to 0°C.
Grill 2
Positionof thermostatknob“C”:Between 50% and100%.
The top heating element and the turnspit (where present)
come on.
Theextremelyhigh anddirecttemperatureofthegrillmakes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high
temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib
steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking, except
when using the turnspit.
Somegrillingexamplesareincludedinthe“PracticalCooking

Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different
energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%)
and maximum (100%) settings.
Gratin T
Positionofthermostatknob“C”:Between40°C and250°C.
The top heating element, the fan and the turnspit (where
present) come on.
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of
the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements

Pizza Mode w
Positionofthermostatknob“C”:Between40°C and250°C.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the
fan, will come on.This combination rapidly heats the oven
due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance
(2800 W), which results in the production of considerable
heat coming prevalently from the bottom.

Cooking Advice”.
“Defrosting”ModeU
Position of thermostat knob “C”:any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat,fish and bread,itis possibleto acceleratetheprocess

Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function
When the fast clean function has been enabled, the
temperature inside the oven reaches 500 °C, which is
necessary to burn all food residue that has built up inside it.
If you look through the oven glass, you may notice some
particles that light up as they are destroyed by pyrolysis
upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply
spontaneouscombustion:itisperfectlynormalandhazard-
free.
A few useful tips before automatic cleaning begins
1-Try to remove largescrapsoffoodandcaked-ondirtwith
adamp sponge.Avoidusingdetergentsor anyother special
products recommended for oven cleaning.
2- Remove all the accessories from the oven, as these
are not designed to withstand such high temperatures. In
addition,someaccessoriescouldaffect theefficiencyofthe
automaticcleaningcyclebyobstructingthecirculationofheat
along all the interior walls of the oven.The accessories can
easily be washed like everyday crockery (even in your
dishwasher).
3- Do not place tea towels over the oven handle.
Notice:duringthe automaticcleaningcycle,the surfaces
may become very hot.Keep children well away.
How to enable the fast clean function
–Shut the oven door.
–Set the selector knob to V.
–To programme the fast clean cycle time and/or cycle
end time, follow the instructions provided in the
paragraph entitled “Fast clean programming”. Please
note that you can choose a cycle time of between 60
and 120 minutes, depending on the degree of soil in
your oven.
Safety devices
Given the high temperatures reached inside it, the oven is
fitted with several safety devices:
• the door is locked automatically as soon as the tem-
perature exceeds a certain value, to avoid all risk of
burns;
•the heating elements are no longer electrically
powered, as a precautionary measure, should a fault
occur.
• Oncetheovendoorhasbeenlocked,youcannot make
any changes to the cycle time, cycle end and timer
settings.
What happens at the end of an automatic cleaning
cycle?
Atthe end of the automatic cleaning cycle, the word“end”
isdisplayed and an acoustic signal issounded,which can
be silenced just by pressing any one of the buttons.Turn
knob“B”tothe“0”settingandthe word“end”will disappear.
To open the oven door, you will have to wait until the tem-
perature inside it has dropped to a suitable value.
You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and
sides of your oven;remove them with a damp sponge once
the oven has cooled down completely.
You may on the other hand prefer to take advantage of the
heat accumulated to start cooking immediately;in this case
the dust can stay where it is: it is completely harmless and
will not affect your food in any way.

Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow
youto cook anytype offood in thebest possibleway.With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guidelinewhich may be variedaccording toyourownper-
sonal experience.
Cooking on MoreThan One Rack
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either
the“baking”mode uor the “Multi-cooking”mode b, as
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use
the “baking” mode u, which allows you to cook on 3
racks at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the
bottom). Some examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice”table.
When cooking other food on several racks, use the “Mul-
ti-cooking” mode bkeeping the following suggestions
in mind:
• The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted
cooking, use two of the three central racks;the lowest
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and
therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these
racks.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the
bottom,placingthe foodstuffsthat require greaterheat
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place
theroastonthe2ndrackfromthebottomandthemore
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
• When cooking food that requires differing times and
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere
betweenthe twotemperaturesrequired, place themore
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take
the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
• Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on
the upper;
Using the“Fast Cooking”Mode
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use
pre-packed products (such as for example:frozen or pre-
cookedfood)alongwithother fooditems.Youwill finduseful
suggestions in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.
Using the Grill
The “7 Cuochi” oven offers you several different grilling
modes.
Use the“grill”mode 2with the oven door ajar,placing
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd
or 4th rack from the bottom).
To catch any fatand/or greasethatmaydrip from the rack,
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the
bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the en-
ergy level to the highest setting, even though lower levels
canbe set, simply byadjustingthe thermostatknob to the
desired level.
In models fitted with a rotisserie 2, you can use the spit
kitprovidedwhen using the“grill”mode.In this case, cook
with the oven door shut, placing the spit kit on the third
oven rack from the bottom and the dripping pan on the
bottom rack to collect any sauce and /or dripping fat.
The “Gratin” mode Tonly with the oven door shut,is
extremely usefulforgrillingfoodsrapidly, as thedistribution
of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface,
but also to cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin
finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd
oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of
the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-
pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
Important: always cook in“Gratin”mode with the oven
door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent
results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).
Whenusingthis mode,weadviseyouto set thethermostat
to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill,
which is based on the use of infrared rays.However, this
doesnotmeanyoucannotuselower temperatures,simply
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired tempera-
ture.
In models fitted with a rotisserie T, you can use the spit
kit provided when using the “gratin” mode. In this case,
place the spit kit on the third oven rack from the bottom
and the dripping pan on the bottom rack to collect any
sauce and /or dripping fat.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated
oven.Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent
the cake from dropping.In general:
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside

I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same
cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Cooking Pizza
For best resultswhencookingpizza,use the“Pizza Mode”
w:
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the rack
supplied with the oven.If the dripping pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process.
• If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode b, as the Pizza
Mode wwould heat the bottom rack more than the
others.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Whencooking white meat, fowland fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be welldoneontheoutsidewhile
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
ahightemperaturesetting (200°C-220°C) forashorttime,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting.Place the meat on the centre ofthegridand place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Makesure that the gridis insertedso that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.

How to KeepYour Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
•Donot use steam equipmentto cleantheappliance.
• the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra-
sive powdersorcorrosive substances which could ruin
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains
are difficult to remove, use special products available
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse
thoroughly and dry.
• the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot
water and soap;the soap should be rinsed away and
the interior dried thoroughly.Avoid using abrasive de-
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as
limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean-
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.
• if you use your oven for an extended period of time,
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
• it is important to ensure that the seal around the oven door
opening is not damaged. Should it be damaged, please
contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been
repaired.
• never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven
door.Proceed as follows:
• open the door fully;
• lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two
hinges;
• grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly
but not completely;
• pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures
backwards.
Replacing the oven lamp
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch
off the main switch before all operations.
• Withtheaid of a narrow,flatitem(suchas a screwdriver
or a spoon handle, etc...), remove the glass cover.
• Unscrewthe lampandreplaceitwithanotherfeaturing
the same characteristics:
- voltage 230/240V
- wattage 15W
- type E 14
• Replacethe glass cover and ensure you reposition the
seal correctly.

INSTALLATION
The appliance must be installed only by a qualified
person in compliance with the instructions provided.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for improper
installation which may harm persons and animals and
damage property.
Important: The power supply to the appliance must be
cut off before any adjustments or maintenance work is
done on it.
Installation of Built-in Ovens
Inorderto ensure thatthebuilt-in appliancefunctionsprop-
erly, the cabinet containing it must be appropriate. The
figurebelowgives the dimensions of the cut-outfor instal-
lation (N.B.: Installation in compliance with the consumption
declaration)
under the counter or in a wall cabinet unit.
In order to ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of
thecabinet unitmustberemoved.Installing theovenso that
it rests on two strips of wood is preferable.If the oven rests
onacontinuous,flatsurface,theremustbeanapertureof at
least45x560mm.
Thepanelsofthe adjacent cabinets must be made ofheat-
resistant material. In particular, cabinets with a veneer
exterior must be assembled with glues which can with-
stand temperatures of up to 100 °C.
In compliance with current safety standards, contact with
the electrical parts of the oven must not be possible once
it has been installed.
All parts which ensure the safe operation of the appliance
must be removable only with the aid of a tool.
For the correct centring of your appliance, position the 4
tabs on the sides of the oven in correspondence with the
4 holes on the perimeter of the frame.In particular, if the
cabinet side panel:
•is 20 mm thick:the removable part of the tab must be
removed (Fig.A);
•is 18 mm thick: use the first groove, which is factory-
set (Fig. B);
•is 16 mm thick:use the second groove (Fig. C).

Fastening the oven to the cabinet
1. Place brackets "A" up against the oven support "B".
2. Placethetabs "C"up againstbrackets"A".In particular,
if the cabinet side panel:
•is 16 mm thick:mount the tab so that the number 16 it
features is facing you;
•is 18 mm thick: mount the tab so that the part without
any wording is facing you;
•is 20 mm thick:do not mount the tab.
3. Fasten thebracketsandtabs on the ovencabinet side
panel using screws "D".
4. Fasten the oven to the cabinet using the screws and
plastic washers "E".
INSTALLATION
If your oven releases a lot of smoke during cooking:
• Make sure you have selected the correct cooking mode for the type of dish you want to prepare and that you have
selected the right accessories and put the dish in the oven at the recommended rack height.
• Check the temperature selected:is it too high for the type of cooking required.
• Check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether it needs to be cleaned. Food residue encrusted onto the enamel
coating inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and pungent smells.
• Splashes of grease or overflows onto very hot surfaces could create smoke.
