The heat coming from the broiler
element gives perfect broiling 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.
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a little
quantity of water poured onto the
appropriate drawing placed on the
bottom.
The combination of convection cooking
and traditional cooking allows different
foods to be cooked on several levels
extremely quickly and efficiently, without
odors and flavors mingling. Perfect for
large volumes that call for intense
cooking.
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching
on the fan provided and the top heating
element that ensures uniform distribution
of low temperature air inside the oven.
The operation of the fan, combined with
traditional cooking, ensures uniform
cooking even with complex recipes.
Perfect for cookies and cakes, even
when simultaneously cooked on several
levels.
The air produced by the fan softens the
strong heatwave generated by the
broiler, roasting even very thick foods
perfectly. Perfect for large cuts of meat
(e.g. pork shank).
The combination of the fan and the
convection heating element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven)
allows you to cook different foods on
several levels, as long as they need the
same temperatures and same type of
cooking. Hot air circulation ensures
instant and uniform distribution of heat. It
will be possible, for instance, to cook
fish, vegetables and cookies
simultaneously (on different levels)
without mixing odors and flavors.
Through the combined action of the fan
and the heat of the central element only,
this function is perfect for rapid cooking
and au gratin cooking of small
quantities of food (particularly meats),
by bringing together the dietary
advantages of the broiler and the even
cooking of the fan
.
The combination of the fan with just the
bottom heating element allows cooking
to be completed more rapidly. This
system is recommended for sterilizing or
for finishing off the cooking of foods
which are already well-cooked on the
surface, but not inside, and therefore
need a little more heat. Perfect for any
type of food.

Cooking tips
General tips
Use a fan function to achieve uniform
cooking at several levels.
Increasing the temperature does not shorten
cooking or baking times (the food could be
well cooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
To prevent condensation from forming on
the glass, hot food should not be left inside
the oven for too long after cooking.
Tips for cooking meats
Cooking times vary depending on the
thickness and quality of the meat, and on
consumer tastes.
For meat and potatoes, it is
recommended from time to time to turn
and/or mix the food to obtain a uniform
browning on all sides.
Use a meat thermometer when cooking
roasts, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it feels hard, it is ready; otherwise, it
needs to roast a bit longer.
For low temperature cooking, brown the

e
meat in a pan for a few minutes on all
sides before baking in the oven.
Advice for cooking with the Grill
The meat can be grilled starting with a cold
oven or with the oven preheated if you want
to change the effect of the cooking.
When using the convection broil function (if
any), it is recommended to preheat the oven
cavity before grilling.
We recommend placing the food at the
center of the rack.
With the broil function, we recommend that
you set the temperature to the maximum
value to optimize cooking.
Tips for baking cakes and cookies
It is preferable to use dark metal pans,
which help to absorb the heat better.
The temperature and baking duration
depend on the quality and consistency of
the dough.
To check whether the cake is baked
through, stick a toothpick into its highest
point at the end of the baking time. If the
dough does not stick to the toothpick, the
dessert is cooked.
If the dessert goes flat when it comes out of
the oven, on the next occasion reduce the
set temperature by about 50°F/10°C,
selecting a longer baking time if necessary.
Tips for cooking on two shelves:
It is recommended to have 2 racks (can be
requested to Authorized Assistance
Centers).
To facilitate the flow of air, place the molds/
pans in the center of the racks and make
sure that their width/diameter does not
exceed 11" 13/16 (300 mm).
Position the racks keeping an empty level
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 TRUE CONVECTION and
EUROPEAN BAKE +.
Tips for defrosting and leavening
Place frozen foods without their packaging
in a lidless container on the first shelf of the
oven.
Do not overlap foods.
To defrost meat, use a rack placed on the
second level and a tray placed on the first
level. This way, the meat does not remain in
contact with the liquid from thawing.
The most delicate parts can be covered with
aluminum foil.
For successful proving, a container of water
should be placed in the bottom of the oven.
To save energy
Turn off the oven a few minutes before the
time required. Cooking will continue for the
remaining minutes with the heat already
accumulated inside the oven.
Do not open the oven door very often to
avoid heat loss.
Always keep the inside of the appliance
clean.
Mini guide to accessories
Rack
We recommend the use of the grill as a support surface for baking molds/casseroles.
In the absence of the baking tray grill, the grill can be used as a base for grilling with the deep
baking tray placed on a shelf below to collect the juices.
Deep tray
We recommend the use of the deep baking tray for cooking on one level only.
Place the deep baking tray on the center shelf when using the fan-assisted functions. When
using the BAKE function,
place the deep baking tray on the required shelf.
Place the baking tray on the last shelf with the baking tray grill to cook in BROIL mode .
Tray rack
We recommend using the baking tray grill as a base for food to grill. The pan below collects
the juices from the grills.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
Surface cleaning
To maintain the surfaces, you must clean them
regularly after each use once they have cooled
down.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use specific products only 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 microfiber cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges and sharp scrapers,
as they will damage the surfaces.
Use normal, non-abrasive products and a
wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a
microfiber 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.
Cleaning the oven cavity
Proper maintenance of the oven's interior
requires that it be cleaned regularly, after
allowing it to cool.
Avoid leaving dried up food inside the oven
because it could damage the enamel surface.
Before cleaning, take out all removable parts.
To make cleaning easier, we recommend the
removal of:
The door:
the frame supports for racks/trays;.
Drying
Cooking food generates moisture inside the
appliance. This is a normal phenomenon and
does not affect the appliance's operation in any
way.
Each time you finish cooking:
1. let the appliance cool down;
2. Remove any dirt from inside the appliance.
3. Dry the interior of the appliance with a soft
cloth.
4. Leave the door open until the inside of the
appliance has dried completely.
Removing racks/trays support frames
Removing the rack/tray support frames makes it
easier to clean the sides of the oven.
To remove the rack/tray support frames:
1. Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven
cavity to release it from groove A.
2. Slide the frame out of the slots at the back B.
When cleaning is complete, repeat the above
procedures to put the rack/tray support frames
back in.
WARNING NOTES
If you are using specific cleaning products,
we recommend operating the appliance at
the maximum temperature for about 15-20
minutes to remove any residues.
