Position 0 indicator
The appliance is off.
Oven light
The oven light can be turned on independently at any
time in the case of models with this symbol. The light
stays on also with other oven functions.
Assisted Cleaning
This oven interior has a unique oleophobic (oil repellent)
finish which allows assisted cleaning at much lower
temperatures and energy consumption than in pyrolytic
ovens. See "Using The CLEAN Function" on page 10.
Traditional static cooking
The heat coming from above and below allows
food that requires slow cooking with the constant
addition of liquids to be cooked. Ideal for any type of
roast, bread, cakes and biscuits in general. Use only
one shelf for this type of cooking, otherwise the
temperature will not be distributed properly.
Upper Cooking
The intense heat diffused from above is excellent for
finishing off the baking of food that is cooked on the
inside but not entirely on the surface.
Lower Cooking
Unlike cooking with the upper cooking method, this
function is recommended for perfecting the cooking
of dishes that are already cooked on the surface but
require further cooking in the centre. The intense heat
from below is excellent for roasting meat which is not so
tender.
Ventilated cooking
This cooking function allows differing types of foods to
be placed on several levels without mixing their flavours,
and the evenly circulated hot air allows even baking.
Electric grill
The Grill Feature makes it possible to use the oven for
both grilling and roasting. The immediate browning of
meats prevents the leaking of liquids, keeping
them tender. Always use the Grill with the oven door
closed. Consult the “Using the Grill” paragraph.
Defrost
Only the fan is functioning without any heating
element. This function can be used to defrost and/or dry
the food to be cooked, only with the movement of air
circulating at ambient temperature. This permits
the defrosting of dishes without altering their taste or
appearance.
Ventilated electric grill
This function permits grilling in a softer manner thanks
to the use of forced air. Forced circulation of air inside
the oven increases heat penetration in food and
prevents burning on the surface. Always use the Grill
with the oven door closed. Consult the “Using the Grill”
paragraph.
Acoustic signal
To stop the acoustic signal, touch one of the three boxed symbols
OK . It is possible to adjust the volume of the signal to
three levels, as follows. Press on the OK symbol until the
letter L appears, followed by the level currently set (from L1 to
L3). Touch the symbols to set the desired level.
Child safety or against accidental operation
This is a function that can block access to the functionality of
the electronic programmer keys both when the oven is running
and as prevention when the oven is off.
To activate this function press for approx. 5 seconds on
symbol. The symbol is activated. This prevents
children or other persons from pressing the programmer keys
and modifying the previous program or from starting the oven.
De-activate the lock in the same way.
In manual position (Man), activation of the lock does not allow
the oven or timer functions to be used.
NOTE: The lock must be deactivated for access to a set program.
This remains active even after a power cut,
which switches the programmer off.
Using the grill
To optimise Grill cooking, switch on the grill oven and preheat
for at least 10 minutes. Introduce the dish inside the
oven in the nearest position to the Grill, depending on the
type of food to cook. The grill should only be used on each
dish for a maximum of 15 minutes at a time.
With the grill it is possible to cook fish, vegetables, small spits and
various types of meat, with the exception of lean game meat. Finely
cut meat and fish must always be grilled very quickly greasing
them slightly with oil using a suitable brush and always placed on
the grill. In turn, the grill must be placed nearest to the upper
heating element, proportionally to the thickness of the dish, to
avoid burning it on the surface and not cooking it enough inside.
Only salt the meat after cooking or it will be less juicy. Never prick
food during cooking, even when turning pieces over. The juice
would run making the grilled food dry.
To optimise Grill cooking, switch on the grill oven and pre-heat for at
least 10 minutes. Place the dish inside the oven in the nearest
position to the Grill, depending on the type of food to cook. Use the
Grill always with the oven door closed.
Meat can be arranged in suitable containers or cooked directly on
the grill. In the latter case, always pour some water in the drip pan
then insert it in the guides under the grill. This prevents the grease
in the dripping pan from burning and creating bad odours.
Attention: during use of the Grill, the accessible parts can
overheat. It is therefore advisable to keep children at a safe
distance.
Never prick food during cooking, not even to turn it. The juice
would be released, making the grilled food dry.
Intensive cooking
The activation of the top and bottom heat elements
together with the fan ensures even distribution of the
intense heat produced. The hot air circulating inside the
oven evenly cooks and browns different dishes, on one
or more levels, that require similar temperatures. In
meat roasts the optimised heat distribution allows
cooking at lower temperatures which reduces the loss
of juices. This helps to keep the meat tender and
minimises any decrease in weight.
