Functions list
High temperature inside the oven
during use
Danger of fire or explosion
• Grilling processes must never last more
than 60 minutes.
The gas oven and the electric grill
must never be used at the same
time.
Light
In this position the oven light can be
turned on during normal operations.
Gas burner
The heat coming just from the
bottom allows you to complete the
cooking of foods that require a
higher bottom temperature, without
affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
+
Gas burner + fan
In combination with the gas burner,
the fan distributes the heat evenly.
This function is perfect for slow
cooking operations using a steady
temperature.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill
element gives perfect grilling results
above all for thin and medium
thickness meat and, in combination
with the rotisserie (where fitted),
gives the food an even browning at
the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, spare ribs and bacon.
This function enables large
quantities of food, particularly meat,
to be grilled evenly.

Use
55
EN
3.6 Using the storage compartment
There is a storage compartment located at
the bottom of the cooker; this can be used
to store pans or metal objects required to
use the cooker.
Press lightly on the sides of the door to open it.
3.7 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan with grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put
into the cold oven or into the preheated
oven if you wish to change the effect of
the cooking.
• With the Fan with grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
Fan with grill
The air produced by the fan softens
the strong heatwave generated by
the grill, grilling perfectly even very
thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
Defrost
Rapid defrost is helped by the
switching on of the fan that ensures
uniform distribution of air inside the
oven. (We recommend using the 1st
or 2nd runner).

Use
56
• Foods should be seasoned before
cooking. Foods should also be coated
with oil or melted butter before cooking.
• Use the oven tray on the first bottom shelf
to collect liquids produced by grilling.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to
absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked
right through: At the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point
of the dessert. If the dough does not stick
to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes
out of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about
10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
• While cooking desserts or vegetables,
excessive condensation may form on the
glass. In order to avoid this, open the
door very carefully a couple of times
while cooking.
Advice for defrosting
• Place frozen foods without their
packaging in a lidless container on the
first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on
the second level and a tray on the first
level. In this way, the liquid from the
defrosting food drains away from the
food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered
with aluminium foil.
To save energy
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean
at all times.

1. Pour some non-abrasive detergent on a
damp cloth and wipe the surfaces.
2. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Cleaning the hob grids, flame-spreader
crowns and burner caps
1. Remove the components from the hob.
2. Clean with lukewarm water and non-
abrasive detergent. Make sure to
remove any encrustations.
3. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or a
microfibre cloth.
4. Replace the components on the hob.
Cleaning the igniters and thermocouples
• If necessary, clean the igniters and
thermocouples with a damp cloth.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the

removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash the removable
components such as the hob grids,
flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
in a dishwasher.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
The continuous contact between
the grids and the flame can cause
modifications to the enamel over
time in those parts exposed to
heat. This is a completely natural
phenomenon which has no effect
on the operation of this
component.

Cleaning and maintenance
59
EN
• If there is any dry residue, remove it with
a toothpick or needle.
Cleaning the oven cavity
In order to keep your oven in the best
possible condition, clean it regularly after
letting it cool down.
Avoid letting food residue dry inside the
oven cavity, as this could damage the
enamel.
Take out all removable parts before
cleaning.
For easier cleaning, we recommend
removing:
• The door;
• The rack/tray support frames;
• The seal.
4.3 Removing the door
For easier cleaning it is recommended to
remove the door and place it on a tea
towel.
To remove the door proceed as follows:
1. Open the door completely and insert two
pins into the holes on the hinges
indicated in the figure.
2. Grasp the door on both sides with both
hands, lift it forming an angle of around
30° and remove it.
3. To reassemble the door, put the hinges in
the relevant slots in the oven, making sure
that grooved sections Aare resting
completely in the slots. Lower the door
and once it is in place remove the pins
from the holes in the hinges.
In the event you are using specific
cleaning products, we recommend
running the oven at maximum
temperature for 15-20 minutes in
order to eliminate any residue.

Cleaning and maintenance

roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a
damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.
4.5 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly
after having allowed it to cool.
• Take out all removable parts. Clean the
oven racks in warm water and non-
abrasive detergent. Carefully rinse and
dry damp parts.
Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the rack/tray support frames
enables the sides to be cleaned more
easily.
To remove the rack/tray support frames:
• Pull the frame towards the inside of the
oven to unhook it from its groove A, then
slide it out of the seats Bat the back.
• When cleaning is complete, repeat the
above procedures to put the rack/tray
support frames back in.
The oven should be operated at
the maximum temperature for
about 15-20 minutes after the use
of specific products, to burn off the
residues left inside the oven.
For easier cleaning, remove the
door.
