Functions list
Eco
Using the grill and the lower heating
element in combination is
particularly suitable for cooking on
a single shelf, 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 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
above all for thin and medium
thickness meat and in combination
with the rotisserie (where present)
gives the food an even browning at
the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, ribs and bacon. This
function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled
evenly.
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 sterilising or 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.
In pyrolytic models, the special
defrosting and proving functions are
brought together under the same
function
Fan-assisted grill
The air produced by the fan softens
the strong heatwave generated by
the grill, grilling perfectly even very
thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
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, we
recommend using the 2nd and 4th
shelves.)

Use
33
EN
3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform 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.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan-assisted grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put
into the cold oven or into the preheated
oven if you wish to change the effect of
the cooking.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend
that you turn the temperature knob to the
maximum value near the symbol to
optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: they help to
absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To 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.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• Place frozen foods without their
packaging in a lidless container on the
first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on
the second level and a tray on the first
level. In this way, the liquid from the
defrosting food drains away from the
food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered
with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of
water should be placed in the bottom of
the oven.
To save energy
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean
at all times.

To keep the oven surfaces in good
condition, they should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let them cool first.
4.3 Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use only specific products that do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based
acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and
wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry
with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
4.4 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp
scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with
the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a
soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
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.
4.5 Removing the door
For easier cleaning, the door can be
removed and placed on a canvas.
To remove the door proceed as follows:
1. Open the door completely and insert two
pins into the holes on the hinges
indicated in the figure.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets for cleaning the
appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and metallic
sponges).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials
or sharp metal scrapers.

2. Grasp the door on both sides with both
hands, lift it forming an angle of around
30° and remove it.
3. To reassemble the door, put the hinges in
the relevant slots in the oven, making sure
that grooved sections Aare resting
completely in the slots. Lower the door
and once it is in place remove the pins
from the holes in the hinges.
4.6 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept
thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen
roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a
damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.
4.7 Removing the internal glass
panels
For easier cleaning the door internal glass
panels can be disassembled.
1. Remove the internal glass panel by
pulling the rear part gently upwards,
following the movement indicated by the
arrows (1).
2. Then, pull the front part upwards (2). In
this way, the 4 pins attached to the glass
detach from their housings in the oven
door.

care to centre and insert the 4 pins into
their housings in the oven door by
applying slight pressure.
4.8 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly
after having allowed it to cool.
Take out all removable parts.
Clean the oven racks with warm water and
non-abrasive detergent. Carefully rinse and
dry the damp parts.
Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the guide frames enables the
sides to be cleaned more easily. This
operation should be performed each time
the automatic cleaning cycle is used (only
on some models).
To remove the guide frames. Pull the frame
towards the inside of the oven to unhook it
from its groove A, then slide it out of the
seats Bat the back.
When cleaning is complete, repeat the
above procedures to put the guide frames
back in.
The oven should be operated at
the maximum temperature for
about 15-20 minutes after the use
of specific products, to burn off the
residues left inside the oven.
For easier cleaning, remove the
door.
