INFORMATION FOR USERS
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 the product, at
the end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse.
Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end
of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for
electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when
purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate
selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the
decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically
compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on
the environment and on health and promotes the recycling of the
materials of which the appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the
product by the user results in the application of administrative
sanctions.

4. USING THE OVEN
4.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad smell.
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 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.
4.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system
that goes into operation a few minutes after the
oven has been switched on.
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.

when the oven door is opened, or by turning the functions knob to any
symbol.
4.4 Defrosting function
By turning the function knob to you start the thawing function.
Rapid thawing is facilitated by starting a special fan that ensures
uniform air and temperature distribution inside the oven.
4.5 Attention
• Grilling processes must never last more than 60 minutes.
• The oven door must be closed during grill and grill + rotisserie
cooking operations.
• Accessible parts may be very hot during and after use of the grill;
keep children well away from the appliance.
• When using the oven, remove all unused trays and racks from its
interior.
• 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,

Instructions for the user
6. 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.
6.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷250°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.
Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only
precaution you need to take is to set a temperature about 20°C lower and
cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

50
Instructions for the user
6.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷250°C
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without tastes and smells mingling.
The air circulation in the oven ensures uniform heating.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.
6.3 Grill cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT
Permits rapid browning of foods. For short-term cooking of small quantities,
place the rack in the fourth runner from the bottom. For long-term cooking
and grills, put the rack in the lowest runner in accordance with the size of
the pieces.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.

51
Instructions for the user
6.4 Hot-air grilling
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 200
Ensures uniform heating with greater heat penetration into the food.
Food will be lightly browned on the outside and remain soft inside.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must not
exceed 60 minutes.
6.5 Delicate cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷250°C
This type of cooking, for which it is extremely important to preheat the
oven in fan-assisted mode, is particularly suitable for finishing cooking
of foods on the base or for cooking procedures that require heating
especially in the lower part. The pan should be placed on the bottom
runner.

52
Instructions for the user
6.6 Defrosting
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT IN POSITION 0
The movement of air ensured by the fan causes faster thawing of foods.
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.
Thawing at room temperature has the advantage of not altering the
taste and appearance of the food.
