does not boil over.
3.5 Using the oven
Switching on the oven
To switch the oven on:
1. Select the cooking function using the
function knob.
2. Select the temperature using the
temperature knob.
Functions list
Cookware diameters:
• Auxiliary: 12 - 14 cm.
• Semi-rapid: 16 - 24 cm.
• Rapid: 18 - 26 cm.
• Ultra-rapid: 18 - 26 cm.
Static
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 static 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.
Bottom
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.
Small grill
Using only the heat released from
the central element, this function
enables small portions of meat and
fish to be grilled for making kebabs,
toasted sandwiches and all types of
grilled vegetable side dishes.
Fan-assisted 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).

Use
14
3.6 Using the storage compartment
The storage compartment is at the bottom of
the cooker. To open it, pull the handle
towards you. It can be used to store
cookware or metallic objects necessary
when using the appliance.
3.7 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform 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).
• Using more ovens at the same time might
affect the final cooking results.
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
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 present)
gives the food an even browning at
the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, ribs and bacon. This
function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled
evenly.
Fan-assisted static
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
uniform 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
shelves.)
Fan-assisted circular
The combination of the fan and the
circular 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 uniform distribution of
heat. It will be possible, for instance,
to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without mixing odours and flavours.
Defrosting
Rapid defrosting is helped by
switching on the fan provided and
the top heating element that ensure
uniform distribution of low
temperature air inside the oven.

Use
15
EN
• 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-assisted 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-assisted grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend
that you turn the temperature knob to the
maximum value near the or
symbol to optimise cooking.
• 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 fluids produced by grilling.
• Grilling processes should never last more
than 60 minutes using multifunction
ovens, 30 minutes inside the auxiliary
oven.
Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use preferably dark metal moulds: they
help to absorb the heat better.
• Temperature and 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 and proving
• 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.
• For successful proving, a container of
water should be placed in the bottom of
the oven.
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.

4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
To keep the oven surfaces in good
condition, they should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use only specific products that do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based
acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and
wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp
scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with
the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a
soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such
as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for
too long, they might damage the enamel
lining of the oven.
Cooking hob pan stands
Remove the pan stands and clean them with
lukewarm water and non-abrasive
detergent. Make sure to remove any
encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and
return them to the hob.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the
cooker.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and metallic
sponges).
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or
sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
glass door since they can scratch the
surface, which may result in shattering of
the glass.
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash the removable
components such as the hob pan stands,
flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
in a dishwasher.
Continuous contact between the
pan stands 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
18
Flame-spreader crowns and burner caps
For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader
crowns and the burner caps can be
removed. Wash them in hot water and non-
