EN
3.3 Using the accessories
Reduction pan stands
The reduction pan stands have to be
placed on the hob grids. Make sure they
are properly placed.
Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray.
In this way fat can be collected separately
from the food which is being cooked.
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the rack from being taken out
accidentally have to face downwards
and towards the oven back.
Gently insert racks and trays into
the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them
for the first time to remove any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.

Use
18
Rotisserie rod
1. Insert the 4 supplied bushings in the 4
corner holes of the deep tray and screw
them onto the ring nuts with a suitable
tool (such as a screwdriver).
2. Position the rotisserie supports in the
bushings as shown in the figure below.
3. Prepare the rotisserie rod with the food
using the clip forks provided. The clip
forks can be tightened using the
fastening screws.
4. Once you have prepared the rotisserie
rod, place it on the supports. Insert the tip
of the rod in the housing of the
mechanism on the left-hand support until
it stops.
5. Place the tray on the first runner (see
“General Description”).

Use
19
EN
6. Insert the tip of the rod in the rotisserie
motor housing on the left of the rear wall
of the oven.
7. To activate the rotisserie, turn the function
knob to the position and set the
cooking temperature using the
temperature knob.
8. When cooking is complete, remove the
tray with the rotisserie.
9. Screw on the handle provided so that
you can handle the rotisserie rod more
easily.
3.4 Using the storage compartment
The storage compartment is at the bottom of
the cooker. It can be used to store
cookware or metallic objects necessary
when using the appliance.
• To open it, pull the handle towards you.
These operations must be
performed with the oven off and
cold.
Pour a little water into the tray to
prevent smoke from forming.

Use
20
3.5 Using the cooktop
All the appliance's control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The burner controlled by each knob
is shown next to the knob. The appliance is
equipped with an electronic ignition device.
Simply press the knob and turn it anti-
clockwise to the maximum flame symbol,
until the burner lights. If the burner does not
light in the first 15 seconds, turn the knob to
and wait 60 seconds before trying
again. After lighting, keep the knob pressed
in for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up. The burner may
go out when the knob is released: in this
case, the thermocouple has not heated up
sufficiently. Wait a few moments and repeat
the operation. Keep the knob pressed in
longer.
Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their seats with their
respective burner caps. Make sure that the
holes 1of the flame-spreader crowns are
aligned with the thermocouples 2and
igniters 3.
Practical tips for using the hob
For better burner efficiency and to minimise
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner, so that the
flames do not reach up the sides of the pan.
Once the contents come to the boil, turn
down the flame far enough to ensure that
the liquid does not boil over.
In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the
knob to and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.

temperature knob.
Functions list
Ensure that the programmer clock
shows the cooking duration
symbol , otherwise it will not
be possible to turn on the oven.
Press the key to reset the
programmer clock.
Convection
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Traditional cooking,
also known as convection cooking,
is suitable for cooking just one dish
at a time. Perfect for all types of
roasts, bread and cakes, and in any
case, particularly suitable for fatty
meats such as goose and duck.
Baker’s function
The combination of the fan with just
the lower heating element allows
cooking to be completed more
rapidly. This system is
recommended for sterilising or for
finishing off the cooking of foods
which are already well-cooked on
the surface, but not inside, which
therefore need a little more heat.
Perfect for any type of food.
Rotisserie
The rotisserie works in combination
with the central grill heating element
and allows food to be perfectly
browned.
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.
Fan 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. pork hock).

Use
22
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
consistent cooking even with
complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits
and cakes, even when
simultaneously cooked on several
levels. (For multiple-level cooking,
we recommend using the 2nd and
4th shelf).
Fan forced
The combination of the fan and the
circular heating element
(incorporated in the rear of the
oven) allows you to cook different
foods on several levels, as long as
they need the same temperatures
and same type of cooking. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and even
distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish,
vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without odours and flavours
mingling.
Supercook
The combination of fan assisted
cooking and traditional cooking
allows different foods to be cooked
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense
cooking.
Eco
This function is particularly suitable
for cooking on a single shelf with
low energy consumption.
Ideal for cooking meat, fish and
vegetables. It is not recommended
for leavened foods.
To obtain maximum energy savings
and reduce cooking times, it is
recommended to place food in the
oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function,
avoid opening the door during
cooking.
Cooking (and preheating) times
are longer with the ECO function.
Pyrolytic
Setting this function, the oven
reaches temperatures up to 500°C,
destroying all the grease which
forms on the internal walls.
