3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
3.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC, 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.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be
considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with
current European directives.
3.2 Your 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. 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 household 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.

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 indicated from the bottom
upwards (see figure).
6.2.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling
system which comes into operation as soon as
a cooking function starts. 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.
6.2.3 Internal oven lights
The oven lights come on when the door is opened (depending on model) or any
function is selected.

Instructions for the user
56
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.
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
problems, open the door in two stages: keep it
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, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

7. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
ECO:
Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is
particularly suitable for cooking on a single runner only, as it
provides low energy consumption.
STATIC:
As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this
system is particularly suitable for certain types of food.
Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation
cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect
for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case
particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.
GRILL:
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling
results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in
combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the
food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large
quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. (3rd or
4th runner).
ROTISSERIE GRILL:
The rotisserie functions in combination with the grill element
allowing to perfectly brown food.
FAN-ASSISTED STATIC:
The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking,
ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for
biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on
several levels. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to
use the 2nd and 4th runners.)
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave
generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with
very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of
pork).

Instructions for the user
61
FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM:
The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element
allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is
recommended for finishing off the cooking of foods which are
already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which
therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to
be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperature and cooking time. Hot air circulation ensures
instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for
instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different
levels) without mixing smells and flavours.
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 2nd and 4th runners.)
TURBO:
The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking
enables different foods to be cooked on several levels
extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of smells
and flavours.
Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking.
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 2nd and 4th runners.)
PYROLYSIS:
When this function is set, the oven reaches temperatures of up to 500°C,
destroying all the grease which forms on the internal walls.
PIZZA (on some models only):
The operation of the fan, combined with the grill and the lower
heating element, ensures uniform cooking even with complex
recipes. Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for biscuits and
cakes.

7.1 Cooking advice and instructions
7.1.1 General advice
We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in.
• For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function
(,, ) to achieve uniform cooking at all heights.
• In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the
temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked
on the inside).
• While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on
the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of
times while cooking.
7.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and
quality of the food and to consumer taste.
• We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it.
Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard it is ready, if
not, it needs another few minutes cooking.
7.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and
consistency of the dough.
• Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does
not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
