Functions list
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 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.
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.
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.
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. (For multiple-level cooking,
we recommend using the 1st and 4th
shelves.)
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.
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
15
EN
3.5 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 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 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 symbol to
optimise cooking.
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 shelves).
Rapid defrost
Rapid defrost is helped by the
activation of a fan to ensure uniform
distribution of room temperature air
inside the oven. Perfect for any type
of food.
Vapour Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a
small quantity of water poured into
a tray on the first shelf level.

Use
16
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.
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.

4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
To keep the 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 steel 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.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• 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 rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
