4. USE OF THE OVEN
3 operations are required to switch the oven on:
1st: make sure that the timer is turned to “ ”;
2nd: turn the thermostat;
3rd: turn the function selector to any function (the “lamp” setting does not
switch on any heating elements).
In models equipped with analogue digital timer, the user has only to
press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first
use or after a power blackout.
4.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which
could give the food a bad taste.
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.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half open
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door
open as short a time as possible to prevent the
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining
the food.

Instructions for the user
4.2 Cooling system (on some models only)
The oven is equipped with a cooling system
which automatically comes on upon the oven
being turned on.
Fans cause 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.
4.3 Oven light
On all models, it is switched on by turning the function selector knob to
any function. On some models it also switches on when the oven door is
opened.

5. USING THE PIZZA FUNCTION
This appliance Is equipped with a function specially developed for
cooking pizza. This function is identified by the symbol on the oven
functions knob. To cook a pizza, proceed as described below.
Set the oven functions knob on the symbol and the thermostat knob
on the / symbol.
Preheat with these settings until the thermostat light goes out, then
place the pizza on the special plate.
It does not normally take more than 3-4 minutes to cook a pizza to
perfection, although this time may vary depending on the dough used or
individual taste.
5.1.1 Precautions for using the pizza plate
•Always remove the round cover and fit the pizza plate with the oven
off and cold.
•Never use the pizza plate except as described above (for
example,never use it on gas or ceramic hobs, or on ovens not
designed to take this accessory).
•During use, the appliance becomes very hot; protective gloves
should be worn for all operations.
•If you like oil on your pizza, it is best to add it after removal from the
oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may
reduce its efficiency.

Instructions for the user
5.2 Warnings
•Cooking procedures in this mode must never last more than 60
minutes.
•In models with electric oven, the door must be close during grilling.
•During and after use the accessible parts of the oven may be very
hot, and children must always be kept at a distance.
•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.
•When using the oven, remove all unused baking sheets and shelves
from the interior.
5.3 Energy saving
The pizza stone acts as a heat reservoir. This allows energy
consumption to be reduced, especially in cooking operations requiring
pre-heating or medium-long times.
In these cases, simply turn the thermostat to zero 10-12 minutes before
the end of the cooking time.
The heat gradually emitted by the refractory stone will ensure that the
cooking temperature is maintained.

7. COOKING HINTS
In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking
7.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷240°C/ /
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-
heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
7.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷240°C
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating
is not necessary.
