2.3 Other parts
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position
trays and racks at different heights. The
insertion heights are indicated from the
bottom upwards (see 2.1 General
Description).
Cooling fan
The fan cools the oven and comes into
operation during cooking.
The fan causes a steady outflow of air from
above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the appliance
has been turned off.
Interior lighting
The appliance’s interior lighting comes on:
• When the door is opened.
• When any function is selected, with the
exception of the Descaling ,
Sabbath and Vapor Clean
functions;
• Turning the return knob to the right or left
when no function is selected (turn the
temperature knob to the right or left
again to switch off the internal lighting).
In order to save energy, the light turns off
after a minute at the start of cooking (this
function can be deactivated via the
secondary menu).
2.4 Available accessories
Perforated tray
Useful for steaming fish and vegetables.
Tray
Useful when cooking cakes (with cooking
times of less than 25 minutes or without
steam), rice, beans and cereals. It is also
essential for collecting liquids produced by
steaming or defrosting foods contained in
the perforated tray above.
When the door is open, it is not
possible to turn off the interior
lighting.

Description
94
Rack
Used for supporting containers with food
during cooking.
Evaporation tray cover
Evenly distributes steam inside the oven.
Sponge
Useful for removing condensation and the
remaining water from the oven.
2.5 Other cooking containers
• You may also use your own containers
for cooking, as long as they are resistant
to high temperatures.
• For steam cooking, the use of metal
containers is recommended. Metal
facilitates better distribution of heat to the
foods.
• It is normal for metal containers to
deform somewhat during high-
temperature cooking, but they will return
to their original shape when they cool
down.
• Thick ceramic plates may require more
heat than normal. Longer cooking times
may be necessary.
Some models are not provided
with all accessories.
