Instructions for disposal
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPOSAL – OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing
of the packing correctly. Find the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local
organisations.
Do not throw the packing or any part of it away. They 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 household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal
means intelligent recycling of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your old appliance remove the door and leave the
racks in their normal working positions so that children cannot get stuck in
the oven compartment whilst playing. It is also necessary to cut the
interconnecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with
the plug.

8. USE OF THE OVEN
8.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven and the grill for the first time, pre-heat to maximum
temperature 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 plates on it as 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.
The oven accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of
materials that comply with the provisions of Directive 89/109/EEC, dated
21/12/88 and of Decree Law 108, dated 25/01/92.
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. 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. When the door is opened oven ventilation is
automatically switched off; it then resumes as soon
as the door is closed (on some models only).
8.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system
which automatically comes on when the
oven is being turned on. The 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.
8.3 Oven light
The oven light comes on when the function switch knob is turned to any
symbol.
On some models it comes on also when opening the oven door.

15

Instructions for the User
10. 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.
10.1 Traditional cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
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 the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/
4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
10.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
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. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform heating.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.

17
Instructions for the User
10.3 Delicate cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
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.
10.4 Grill cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
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.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Grilling with the door
open can permanently damage the oven and jeopardise safety whilst
the grill is on.

18
Instructions for the User
10.5 Hot-air grilling
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT 200 °C
Ensures uniform heating with greater heat penetration into the food. Food
will be lightly browned on the outside and remain tender inside.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must not
exceed 60 minutes.
Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door
open can permanently damage the oven and jeopardise safety whilst
the grill is on.
10.6 Thawing
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT 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.

19
Instructions for the User
10.7 Table of recommended cooking settings
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness, quality
of the food and to consumer's taste. Cooking times are given for a pre-
heated oven.

Instructions for the User
11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts,
switch off the power supply to the appliance.
Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the inside of the oven.
11.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let it cool first.
11.2 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only
specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
11.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage
the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or
deerskin.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside
the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel
lining of the oven.

22
Instructions for the User
11.4 Cleaning the oven
For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool.
Take out all removable parts.
• Clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse
and dry.
• For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see point “11.6
Removing the door”)
11.5 Cleaning the oven with self-cleaning panels (on some
models only)
The oven is equipped with panels made of continuous self-cleaning
enamel. These panels make the oven easier to clean and ensure that it
remains efficient over time.
11.5.1 Use of self-cleaning panels
To keep the inside of the oven clean and free from food residues and
unpleasant smells, it should periodically be operated empty at a
temperature of at least 200° C for a time varying between 30 and 60
minutes. This allows the self-cleaning panels to oxidise any deposits
present, which can then be wiped away with a damp sponge once the
oven has cooled.
11.5.2 Maintenance of self-cleaning panels
The panels should not be cleaned using abrasive creams and ordinary
cleaners. Simply wipe with a damp sponge to avoid damaging the special
enamel coating of the panels.
