Fan-assisted models (note for UK market)
Unlike the traditional gas oven that you
usually find in the United Kingdom, where
the hottest part of the cavity is usually
located in the upper area of the oven, the
new fan-assisted gas oven has a European-
style central lower burner which allows you
to get optimal results, thanks to the efficient
zone cooking device.
The oven has a fan that distributes the heat
evenly inside it. However, the lower part is
the hottest area and it allows you to cook in
the same way as in the upper part of a
traditional oven (depending on the mode
selected).
The central areas cook at the temperature
set on the control panel, whereas in the
upper area the heat is distributed to a
slightly lower temperature, which equals the
temperature of the lower shelf of an electric
oven.
Before carrying out a cooking process,
preheat the oven in order to get optimal
results. Moreover, during all cooking
operations the oven door must be closed to
enable the safety device to work properly.

Functions list
Gas burner
The heat coming just from the
bottom allows you to complete the
cooking of foods that require a
higher bottom temperature, without
affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
+
Gas burner + fan
In combination with the gas burner,
the fan distributes the heat evenly.
This function is perfect for slow
cooking operations using a steady
temperature.
+
Gas burner + rotisserie
The rotisserie rotates food while the
gas burner is operating.
+
Gas burner + fan + rotisserie
The rotisserie rotates food while the
fan distributes heat quickly.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill
element or the gas grill burner
(depending on the models) gives
perfect grilling results above all for
thin and medium thickness meat and
in combination with the rotisserie
(where fitted) gives the food an
even browning at the end of
cooking. Perfect for sausages,
spare ribs and bacon. This function
enables large quantities of food,
particularly meat, to be grilled
evenly.
+
Fan with grill
The air produced by the fan softens
the strong heatwave generated by
the grill element, grilling perfectly
even very thick foods. Perfect for
large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of
pork).
Grilling processes must never last
more than 30 minutes.

Use
62
3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
+
Grill + Rotisserie
The rotisserie works in combination
with the grill element or the gas
burner grill (depending on the
models) and allows food to be
perfectly browned.
+
Fan grill + rotisserie
The rotisserie works in combination
with the grill element allowing food
to be perfectly browned; the fan
distributes heat very quickly.
Combined cooking and grilling
processes must never last more
than 60 minutes.
For safety reasons, the fan does
not work in combination with the
gas burner grill.
Defrost
Rapid defrost is helped by the
switching on of the fan that ensures
uniform distribution of air inside the
oven. (We recommend using the 1st
or 2nd runner).
Light
In this position the oven light can be
turned on during normal operations.
