8. USING THE OVEN
8.1 Before using the appliance
Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping
pans and the cooking compartment.
Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including
from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or the base
cover.
Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the
oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “10. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE”.
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove
any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
8.2 General Description
8.2.1 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a
cooling system which comes into
operation as soon as a cooking
function starts. The fan causes a
steady outflow of air from above the
door which may continue for a brief
period of time even after the oven has
been turned off.

Instructions for the user
EN
20
8.2.2 Oven inside lights
The oven lights come on when the door is opened or any function is selected.
If the oven light fails, replace it as described in “11.1 Replacing the light bulb”.
8.2.3 Oven runners
The oven features 5 runners and 3
shelves for positioning trays and racks
at different heights. The insertion
heights are numbered from the bottom
upwards (see the example in the
figure).
8.2.4 Using the rack
The racks are equipped with a
mechanical safety lock which prevents
them from being taken out accidentally.
To insert the rack correctly, check that
the lock is facing downwards (as
shown in the figure).
To take it out, lift the front edge of the
rack slightly while sliding it out on the
side runners.
The mechanical lock must always
face the back of the oven.
Insert racks and trays fully into the oven until they come to a stop.

Instructions for the user
EN
21
8.2.5 Using the support rack
The support rack is inserted into the
tray (as shown in the figure).
Using this, foods can be cooked and
the fat can be collected separately from
the food which is being cooked.
8.3 Warnings and general advice for usage
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil
and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere
with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
For the best cooking results, we recommend placing cookware in the centre of
the rack.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm
approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. If you need
to access the food, always leave the door open for as
short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the
oven from falling and ruining the food.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal
glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

9. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
ECO:
Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is particularly
suitable for cooking on a single runner only, as it provides low energy
consumption.
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 or thermal radiation 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, especially
for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie
(when present), it allows the food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking.
Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.
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 heat wave generated by the grill,
giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
FAN-ASSISTED SMALL GRILL:
Through the combined action of the fan and the heat of the central element only,
this function is perfect for rapid cooking and cooking au gratin of small quantities
of food (particularly meats), by bringing together the dietary advantages of the
grill and the even cooking of the fan.
DEFROSTING:
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element
to ensure uniform distribution of low-temperature air inside the oven.
