9. USING THE OVEN
Before using the oven, check that the display is showing the symbol
(see point "8.1 Setting the time").
9.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin
foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the enamel
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it does not
interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from
materials compliant with 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and national relevant
regulations.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside
the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half-
open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to carry out any procedures
on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as
possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results. When the
door is opened the oven's internal fan cuts out
automatically; it starts up again when the door is
closed.

50
Instructions for the User
9.2 Cooling fan system (on some models only)
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into
operation when the oven is switched on. The operation of the fans
generates a normal air flow which comes out above (Fig 1) or below
(Fig 2) the door depending on the model, and may continue for a short
time even after the oven is switched off.

11. COOKING ADVICE
The oven should always be preheated in fan mode to 30/40°C above the
cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces electricity consumption, as well as giving better results.
The oven door must be closed during cooking operations.
11.1 Conventional cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is
suitable for cooking food on just one shelf. The oven must be preheated to
the chosen temperature. Do not place the food in the oven until the
thermostat light goes out. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without
thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C
lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat.
11.2 Hot air cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This system is suitable for cooking on several shelves, even with foods of
different kinds (fish, meat, etc.) without cross-contamination of flavours or
smells. The air circulation inside the oven ensures uniform heat
distribution.
Multiple cooking is possible provided that all foods require the same
temperature.

53
Instructions for the User
11.3 Delicate cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This type of cooking, for which it is extremely important to preheat the
oven in fan mode, is particularly suitable for finishing cooking of foods
underneath, or for processes which require heat mainly from below. The
tray should be placed on the bottom runner.
11.4 Grilling
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT
Used for quick browning of foods. For short processes and small amounts,
place the shelf on the fourth runner from the bottom. For longer cooking
times and grilling, place the shelf on lower runners, depending on the size
of the food.
Keep the door closed when grilling is in progress. Grilling with the
door open may permanently damage the oven and reduce operating
safety.
11.5 Hot air grilling
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 200 °C
Allows uniform heat distribution with better penetration to the core of
foods. Foods are lightly browned on the outside but still soft on the inside.
During cooking the oven door must be closed, and the maximum heating
time must not exceed 60 minutes.

54
Instructions for the User
Keep the door closed when grilling is in progress. Grilling with the
door open may permanently damage the oven and reduce operating
safety.
11.6 Thawing
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 0
The air movement provided by the fan alone thaws foods more quickly.
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.
Thawing at room temperature has the advantage that the food's flavour
and appearance are retained intact.
