Precautions for Use
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
THIS MANUAL IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE APPLIANCE. TAKE GOOD CARE
OF IT AND KEEP IT TO HAND THROUGHOUT THE OVEN'S LIFE CYCLE.
WE URGE YOU TO READ THIS MANUAL AND ALL THE INFORMATION IT
CONTAINS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. INSTALLATION
MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED STAFF IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
RELEVANT REGULATIONS. THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD
USE AND COMPLIES WITH THE EEC DIRECTIVES CURRENTLY IN FORCE.
THE APPLIANCE IS BUILT TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING FUNCTION:
COOKING AND HEATING FOODS; ALL OTHER USES ARE TO BE
CONSIDERED IMPROPER.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL LIABILITY FOR USES OTHER THAN
THOSE STATED ABOVE.
NEVER USE THIS APPLIANCE FOR HEATING ROOMS.
NEVER USE PACKAGING RESIDUES UNATTENDED IN THE HOME.
SEPARATE THE VARIOUS PACKAGING MATERIALS BY TYPE AND CONSIGN
THEM TO THE NEAREST SEPARATE DISPOSAL CENTRE.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MARKED ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE

Disposal instructions
2. DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT
POLICY
Our products are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly,
recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the
packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local
organisations for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal
facilities.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and
especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for children.
Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.
Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to
collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent
recovery of valuable materials.
Before scrapping your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally
become trapped inside the oven during play. Also, cut the power supply
lead and remove it and the plug.

Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste
packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest separate
disposal centre.
The inside of the appliance should be cleaned to remove all manufacturing
residues. For further information, see "10. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE".
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells. Before operating the oven, make sure the clock has
been turned to the “Manual cooking” setting. (See points “6.2.2 Manual
cooking” and “6.3.5 Manual cooking”.

7. USING THE OVEN
Before operating the oven, make sure the clock has been turned to the
“Manual cooking” setting. (See points “6.2.2 Manual cooking” and “6.3.5
Manual cooking”
7.1 Precautions and General Advice
When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin
foil, and do not place pans or oven dishes on it; this may damage the
enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so that it
does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from
materials compliant with EEC directive 89/109 of 21/12/88 and national
relevant regulations.
To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside
the oven, open the door in two stages; hold it open
just a little (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open
it completely. If you have to check or carry out
other procedures on food during cooking, leave the
door open for as short a time as possible to prevent
a drop in the oven temperature which will impair
the cooking results. When the door is opened the
oven's internal fan cuts out automatically; it starts
up again when the door is closed.

46
Instructions for the User
7.2 Cooling fan system (on some models only)
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system which comes into
operation a few minutes after the oven is switched on. The operation of the
fans generates a normal air flow which comes out above (Fig 1) or below
(Fig 2) the door depending on the model, and may continue for a short
time even after the oven is switched off.
1) 2)
7.3 Inside light (Depending on models)
Depending on the model, the oven light switches on:
• when the oven door is opened, or;
• when function knob is turned to any function, or;
• when the function knob is turned to the symbol.

47
Instructions for the User

Instructions for the User
9. COOKING ADVICE
The oven should always be preheated in fan mode to 30/40°C above the
cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces electricity consumption, as well as giving better results.
The oven door must be closed during cooking operations.
9.1 Conventional cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This conventional cooking method, with heat from above and below, is
suitable for cooking food on just one shelf. The oven must be preheated to
the chosen temperature. Do not place the food in the oven until the
thermostat light goes out. Place frozen meat in the oven directly, without
thawing. The only precaution required is to set temperatures about 20°C
lower and cooking times about 1/4 longer than for fresh meat.
9.2 Hot air cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This system is suitable for cooking on several shelves, even with foods of
different kinds (fish, meat, etc.) without cross-contamination of flavours or
smells. The air circulation inside the oven ensures uniform heat
distribution.
Multiple cooking is possible provided that all foods require the same
temperature.

49
Instructions for the User
9.3 Delicate cooking
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 50 ÷ 250 °C
This type of cooking, for which it is extremely important to preheat the
oven in fan mode, is particularly suitable for finishing cooking of foods
underneath, or for processes which require heat mainly from below. The
tray should be placed on the bottom runner.
9.4 Grilling
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT
Used for quick browning of foods. For short processes and small amounts,
place the shelf on the fourth runner from the bottom. For longer cooking
times and grilling, place the shelf on lower runners, depending on the size
of the food.
Keep the door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open may
permanently damage the oven and reduce operating safety.

50
Instructions for the User
9.5 Hot air grilling
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 200 °C
Allows uniform heat distribution with better penetration to the core of
foods. Foods are lightly browned on the outside but still soft on the inside.
During cooking the oven door must be closed, and the maximum heating
time must not exceed 60 minutes.
Keep the door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open may
permanently damage the oven and reduce operating safety.
9.6 Thawing
FUNCTION SELECTOR
THERMOSTAT 0
The air movement provided by the hot air fan alone thaws foods more
quickly. The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.
Thawing at room temperature has the advantage that the food's flavour
and appearance are retained intact.

51
Instructions for the User
9.7 Rotisserie cooking (models with static oven only)
THERMOSTAT
Prepare the rotisserie rod with the food, tightening the screws A of the
prongs. Fit the shelf B onto the third runners from the bottom. Remove the
handle D and position the rotisserie rod so that the pulley E is still in the
guides on the shelf B. Push the shelf B fully in until the tip of the rotisserie
rod enters the hole C on the rear of the oven. Place a drip tray F on the
bottom runner and pour a little water into it to prevent smoke from forming.
It is normal for the thermostat light to switch on and off at regular intervals
during cooking; it indicates that the temperature inside the oven is being
kept constant.

52
Instructions for the User
9.8 Recommended cooking tables
Cooking times, for meat in particular, vary depending on the food's
thickness and quality and personal preference. All times are calculated
with the oven preheated.
