technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (see 4 Cleaning and
maintenance).
4. Heat the empty oven cavity at
maximum temperature to burn off any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.
High temperature inside the oven
during use
Danger of burns
• Keep the oven door closed during
cooking.
• Protect your hands by wearing oven
gloves when moving food inside the
oven.
• Do not touch the heating elements inside
the oven.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot
trays.
• Do not allow children to approach the
appliance when it is in operation.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces

cavity with aluminium or tin foil sheets.
• If you wish to use greaseproof paper,
place it so that it will not interfere with the
hot air circulation inside the oven.
• Do not place pans or trays directly on
the bottom of the oven cavity.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot
trays.
High temperature inside the oven

• Do not use or leave flammable materials
near the appliance.
• Do not use plastic kitchenware or
containers when cooking food.

3.3 Using the accessories
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the rack from being removed
accidentally must face downwards and
towards the back of the oven cavity.
Tray rack (on some models only).
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray.
In this way, fat can be collected separately
from the food that is being cooked.
Cover and pizza stone (on some models
only)
Carefully insert the racks and trays
as far as they will go into the oven
cavity.
Clean the trays before using them
for the first time to remove any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.
Improper use
Risk of burns and damage to
surfaces
• The stone remains hot for a long time
after cooking has ended. Ensure it is
handled with due caution.
• Do not use the pizza stone other than as
described, for example do not use it on
gas or glass ceramic hobs or in ovens
which are not designed for this purpose.
• If you like oil on your pizza, it is best to
add it after having removed the pizza
from the oven cavity since oil stains on
the pizza stone are unsightly and may
reduce its efficiency.
• If the pizza stone is not going to being
used, remove it from the oven cavity and
cover the bottom of the oven with the
cover provided.

Use
17
EN
When the appliance is cold, remove the
cover from the bottom and insert the pizza
stone. Make sure that the plate is inserted
correctly in the recess provided.
For cooking, use the special pizza
function .
Pizza spatula (on some models only)
To avoid being burnt, always hold the pizza
spatula by the handle when moving food. It
is recommended to lightly dust the steel
surface with flour to make it easier to slide
fresh products on and off, as they could
stick to the steel due to their moisture
content.
3.4 Using the oven
Switching the oven on
1. Press the function knob to activate the
display.
2. Turn the function knob to the right or left
to select the required function.
3. Press the programming knob.
4. Turn the programming knob to set the
temperature.
5. Press the programming knob or wait 3
seconds.
6. Press the function knob to start cooking.
Preheating stage
The actual cooking is preceded by a
preheating stage that allows the appliance
to reach the cooking temperature more
quickly.
The indicator light flashes to indicate
that this stage is in progress.
Keep the function knob pressed for
approximately 3 seconds to
immediately end any cooking
operation.

Use
18
When the preheating stage is over, the
indicator light remain lit steadily and a
buzzer will sound to indicate that food can
be placed in the oven cavity.
List of cooking functions
Cooking can be interrupted at any
time by keeping the function knob
pressed for at least 3 seconds.
Eco
This low energy consumption
function is particularly suitable for
cooking on a single shelf.
Ideal when cooking meat, fish and
vegetables. It is not recommended
for foods that require proving.
For greater energy savings and to
reduce the time required, it is
recommended to put foods in the
oven cavity without preheating it.
When using the ECO function,
avoid opening the oven door
during cooking.
When using the ECO function,
cooking times (and pre-heating, if
used) are longer.
Convection
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for cooking
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 fitted),
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.
Bottom (on some models only)
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.

Use
19
EN
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
consistent cooking even with
complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits
and cakes, even when cooked
simultaneously on several levels.
(For multiple-level cooking, we
recommend using the 2nd and 4th
shelves.)
Fan 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. pork shank).
Baker’s function (on some models
only)
The combination of the fan with just
the bottom 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
defrost and proving functions are
brought together under the same
function.
Supercook (on some models only)
The combination of fan assisted
cooking and traditional cooking
allows different foods to be cooked
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense
cooking. (For multiple-level cooking,
we recommend using the 1st and 4th
shelves.)
Fan forced (on some models only)
The combination of the fan and the
circular heating element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven
cavity) allows you to cook different
foods on several levels, as long as
they require the same temperatures
and same type of cooking. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and even
distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish,
vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without odours and flavours
mingling.
Pizza (on some models only)
The operation of the fan, combined
with the grill and the bottom heating
element, ensures consistent cooking
even with complex recipes. Perfect
not just for pizzas, but also for
biscuits and cakes.

temperature, press the programming
knob three times. The display shows the
digits and the
indicator light flashes.
2. Turn the programming knob to set the
cooking duration from 00:01 to 13:00.
Keep the knob turned to increase or
decrease it more quickly.
3. A few seconds after the required
duration has been set, the
indicator light stops flashing. Press the
function knob to start timed cooking.
4. At the end of cooking, “STOP” flashes
on the display and a buzzer will sound
that can be deactivated by opening the
door or pressing/turning one of the two
knobs.
Timed cooking is the function
which allows a cooking operation
to be started and then ended after
a specific length of time set by the
user.
Activation of timed cooking
cancels any minute minder timer
which may previously have been
set. To select another timed cooking,
turn the programming knob right or
left again.
To extend the cooking time
manually, press the programming
knob again. The appliance will
resume its normal operation with
the previously selected cooking
settings.
At the end of cooking, a new
function can be selected by turning
the function knob.
To turn off the appliance, press
and hold the function knob.
