3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Our environmental responsibility
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to
the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that at the end of the useful life of the product, it must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, at the end of the product's
working life, the user must deliver it to the appropriate differentiated collection
centres for electrical and electronic waste, or deliver it back to the retailer when
purchasing an equivalent product, on a one-for-one basis. Adequate
differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned
product to recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal
contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on
health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent materials. Illicit
disposal of the product by the user will lead to the application of administrative
sanctions.
3.2 Your environmental responsibility
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, which are therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

Instructions for the user
74
5.1 Using the rack or tray
The racks and trays are equipped with a
mechanical safety lock which prevents them
from being taken out accidentally. To insert the
rack or tray correctly, check that the lock is
facing downwards (as shown in the illustration
on the right).
To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly.
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.
5.2 Using the support rack
The support rack is inserted into the tray (as
shown in the illustration).
Using this, foods can be cooked and the fat can
be collected separately from the food which is
being cooked.
5.3 Using the handle
The handle is used to extract hot trays and
racks from the oven.
Use the accessory as shown in the illustrations.

Instructions for the user
75
5.4 Using the rotisserie rod
When cooking with the rotisserie, position the
frame on the third runner (see 6.2.1 Oven
runners). Once the frame is inserted, the
shaped part must sit facing outwards (as shown
in the illustration).
Then prepare the rotisserie rod with the food,
using the clip forks provided.
In order to handle the rod with the food on it
readily, screw on the handle provided.
Having prepared the rotisserie rod with the
food, position it on the guide frame as shown in
the illustration.
Insert the rod into the hole (detail B) so that it
connects with the rotisserie motor.
Make sure that the pin is placed correctly on
the guide frame (detail A).

Instructions for the user
76
5.5 Using the pizza plate (on some models only)
With the oven cold, remove the circular cover
from the bottom (as shown in the illustration)
and insert the pizza plate.
Make sure that the plate is inserted correctly in
the recess provided.
To cook, follow recipe usage instructions (see
6.12 Selecting a recipe).
Do not use the pizza plate other than as described, for example do not use it on
gas or glass-ceramic hobs or in ovens which are not designed for this purpose.
If you wish to add oil to your pizza, it is best to add it after removing it from the
oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may reduce its
efficiency.
In models where it is provided, if the pizza plate is not in use, cover the bottom
of the oven with the cover provided.
5.6 Using the pizza spatula (on some models only)
Always grip the pizza spatula on the wooden
or plastic handle to put food in and take it out of
the oven.
You are advised to dust the steel surface
lightly with flour to make it easier to slide fresh
products on and off, as they could stick to the
steel due to their moisture content.

Instructions for the user

6. USING THE OVEN
6.1 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 “8. 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.
6.2 General description
6.2.1 Oven runners
The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays
and racks at different heights. The insertion heights
are numbered from the bottom upwards (see
illustration).
(When using the recipes, the display will show the
recommended runner for the selected recipe).

6.3 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.

Instructions for the user
79
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
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, food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
