Advantages of assisted steam
cooking
The assisted steaming cooking system cooks
any type of food much smoother and faster and
finds its main applications for:
• Braising and stewing
•Cookingsauces
•Cookingaugratin
•Roasting
•Lowtemperaturecooking
• Regenerating
• Multi-mode cooking
Variations in temperature and humidity levels
allow the wished gastronomic result to be
achieved.
The addition of steam allows the use of less fat in
favour of a healthier and more genuine cuisine.
It also minimizes the loss of weight and volume
in food while cooking.
Assisted steam cooking is particularly suitable
for cooking meat: in addition to making it very
soft, it maintains it bright and makes it more
succulent.
Also recommended for baking leavened and
bread dough. The humidity in fact lets the dough
grow and develop while cooking before
creating the outer crust. The result is a lighter and
more digestible mixture, recognizable by thicker
pockets.

Traditional cooking
1. Turn the function knob to the right or to the
left to select the wished function (for
example "FAN-ASSISTED ").
The button and the text
start flashing.
After a long period of inactivity it is
recommended to make a reservoir
filling and draining cycle to rinse the
steam circuit.
Take care: the water may be very hot.
The drained water cannot be used for
other cooking.
Assisted-steam cooking at 40%: the
steam is delivered constantly throughout
the cooking time and is recommended
for long cooking of meat, fish, timbales,
tarts, lasagna, etc... Particularly suitable
for cooking fish and meat with a high fat
content. The steam melts them while
keeping the food soft, making it more
digestible and nicely browned on the
surface.
Assisted steam function at 20%: the
steam is delivered in small pulses. It is
recommended for baking cakes and
bread-type products (bread, focaccia,
etc...) where the amount of steam must
be minimal to allow the food to lose its
moisture and cook internally. The steam
facilitates leavening during the first few
minutes of baking, creating a shiny,
crisp surface.
Steam-assisted cooking is
recommended only for the first 5-10
minutes, then switch to the
corresponding function without steam to
complete cooking.
This function is also indicated for the
preparation of products breaded with
egg and breadcrumbs, as it restores
crunchiness to the breadcrumb coat,
thus simulating the result of frying, but
more digestible.
The operation of the fan, combined with
traditional cooking, ensures consistent
cooking even with complex recipes.
Perfect for roasts.
The combination of the fan, the
circulaire heating element and the
steam is particularly suitable for
preparing roast meats, chicken and
baked goods such as bread and
leavened sweets.
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.
To obtain a rotisserie effect, set the
temperature to maximum. When the
appliance reaches maximum
temperature, return the temperature to
normal. This procedure seals the liquids
inside the meat, and reduces shrinkage.
The air produced by the fan softens the
strong heatwave generated by the grill,
perfectly grilling even very thick cuts of
meat such as steaks, pork chops, etc...
Cooking functions can be interrupted at
any time by turning the function knob to
the 0 position.

Programmed cooking is the function
which allows a time-controlled cooking
operation to be stopped at an
established time depending on the time
set by the user, after which the
appliance will switch off automatically.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to
set the end of cooking time by itself
without setting the cooking duration.
The minutes required for preheating are
already included in the end-of-cooking
time.
In this way, only the programmed
cooking is cancelled. Timed cooking
starts immediately with the preheating
phase.
To stop every cooking process, always
return the function knob to the 0
position.
The minute minder timer does not stop
the cooking operation but rather informs
the user when the set time has run out.

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.
• Turn the food to brown both sides.
• 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
• 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.
• When using the fan-assisted with grill
function(if any), 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 set the temperature to the maximum
value to optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries 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.
Not all functions are available on some
models.
Traditional cooking suitable for the
preparation of one dish at a time. Ideal
for cooking roasts, fatty meats, bread,
pies.
Intense and uniform cooking. Ideal for
biscuits, cakes and multilevel cooking.
The heat is distributed quickly and
evenly. Suitable for all dishes, ideal for
cooking on several levels without mixing
odours and flavours.
It allows to obtain excellent grilling and
grating results. Used at the end of
cooking, it gives a uniform browning to
the dishes.
The heat only comes from the bottom of
the cavity. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts
and pizzas.
This function is particularly suitable for
cooking on a single shelf with low
energy consumption.
It is recommended for all types of food,
excluding those that can create a lot of
humidity (such as vegetables).
To obtain maximum energy savings and
reduce cooking times, it is
recommended to place food in the
oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function, avoid
opening the door during cooking.
In the ECO function cooking times (and
any preheating) are longer and may
depend on the amount of food in the
cooking compartment.
The ECO function is a delicate cooking
function and is recommended for food
withstanding temperatures lower than
210°C; in case of cooking at higher
temperatures, select another function.

USE - 73914779671/D
e
• 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 cooking with two shelves:
• We suggest to arrange two racks (they can
be requested to Authorised Service
Centres).
• To facilitate the air flow, place the moulds/
casseroles in the centre of the racks and
make sure that their width/diameter does
not exceed 30 cm.
• Place the racks leaving one free shelf
between them.
• Depending on the food and the increased
load inside the cavity, cooking on two levels
may take a few minutes longer than on a
single shelf.
• The functions indicated for cooking on two
shelves are THERMALLY-VENTILATED and
THERMALLY-VENTILATED BASE.
Advice for steam cooking
• For bread-type products (bread, focaccia,
etc.) and frozen desserts, where steam is
useful during the first few minutes of cooking,
we recommend setting a steam function for
the first 5-10 minutes and then switching to
ventilated mode to complete cooking.
• For steam heating insert in a cold oven.
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.
Advice on using the probe (if fitted)
The probe can also be used during normal
timed cooking:
1. Insert the probe into the food you are
cooking, and connect it to its socket.
2. Press the button and check the
temperature of the food in the Instantaneous
temperature field.
Using the temperature probe (on
some models only)
The temperature probe enables you to cook
roasts, loin steaks and other cuts and sizes of
meat with great precision. The probe ensures
that the food is perfectly cooked by monitoring
the core temperature of the food. The core
temperature is measured by a sensor inside the
tip of the probe.
Positioning the probe
1. Place the food on a tray.
2. Insert the tip of the probe into the food
before you place it in the oven.
3. For best results, make sure that the
temperature probe is placed transversely in
the thickest part of the food and for least 3/
4 of its length. Make sure that it does not
touch the tray underneath and that it does
not protrude from the food.
See General safety instructions.
In order for the probe to measure the
core temperature of the food precisely,
its tip must not be in contact with bones
or fat.

Setting cooking parameters when using the
temperature probe
With cold oven:
1. Select a cooking function (for example
"FAN ASSISTED ").
2. Turn the temperature knob to set the cooking
temperature (for example "190°C").
3. Open the appliance door.
4. Insert the tray on which the food has been
placed into the appropriate guides.
5. Insert the plug of the temperature probe into
the socket at the side, using the probe to
open the protective cover.
The indicator light flashes on the display.
6. Close the door.
7. Press the button on the display to
change the target temperature.
8. Turn the temperature knob to set the target
temperature (for example "80°C").
9. Press the button to confirm the set
target temperature.
10. Press the button to start the function.
The appliance will begin preheating.
When cooking is started:
The recommended minimum
temperature for cooking with the probe
is 120°C, with the exception of slow
temperature cooking.
Caution: during use, the accessible
parts become very hot. Protect your
hands wearing heat resistant gloves
while connecting the temperature
sensor and when moving food inside
the oven.
The temperature range that can be
selected is from a minimum of 50°C to
a maximum of 90°C.
It the temperature of the oven is set too
low, the appliance automatically sets
the minimum temperature necessary in
order to reach the selected target
temperature.
For best results, it is recommended to set
a cooking temperature higher than the
target temperature.
During cooking with a probe, if for any
reason you need to disconnect the
probe without changing the knobs or
the display, the function proceeds as
normal cooking.
You can skip the preheating phase by
holding down the button for a few
seconds.
