Functions list
ECO (Energy-saving cooking)
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 proof. For greater energy savings and to reduce the time required, it is recommended to put foods in the oven cavity without preheating them.

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 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.

Static 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, spare ribs, and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.

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 hock).

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 simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2^nd and 4^th shelf).

Fan forced
The combination of the fan and the circular 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 the 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 odors and flavors mingling.

Supercook
The combination of fan-assisted 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. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 1^st and 4^th
shelves.)

Pyrolytic cleaning
Setting this function, the oven reaches temperatures up to 500°C, destroying all the grease which forms on the internal walls.

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.
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 of cooking.

Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan 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 grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
We recommend placing the food at the center of the rack.
With the Grill function, we recommend that you turn the temperature knob to the maximum value near the symbol to optimize cooking.

Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and biscuits

Use dark metal molds: 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 aluminum 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.

Food stains or residues
Do not use steel 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 be set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Cleaning the door

Removing the door
For easier cleaning, the door can be removed and placed on a canvas.
To remove the door proceed as follows:

Open the door completely and insert two pins into the holes on the hinges indicated in the figure.
Grasp the door on both sides with both hands, lift it forming an angle of around 30° and remove it.
To reassemble the door, put the hinges in the relevant slots in the oven, making sure that grooved sections A are resting completely in the slots. Lower the door and once it is in place remove the pins from the holes in the hinges.

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.
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.

Removing the internal glass panels
For easier cleaning, the internal glass panels of the door can be removed.

Remove the internal glass panel by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1).
Then, pull the front part upwards (2). In this way, the 4 pins attached to the glass are released from their seats in the oven door.
Some models have an intermediate glass panel. Remove the intermediate glass panel by lifting it upwards.
Clean the external glass panel and the panels were removed previously. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and a neutral detergent.
Refit the panels in the reverse order in which they were removed.
Reposition the internal glass panel. Take care to center and secure the 4 pins into their seats in the oven door by applying slight pressure.

Cleaning the inside of the oven

Advice for cleaning the oven cavity
In order to keep your oven in the best possible condition, clean it regularly after letting it cool down.
Do not allow food residues to dry inside the oven cavity because doing so could damage the enamel.
Before cleaning, remove all the parts that can be removed.
For easier cleaning, it is recommended to remove:

The door;
The rack/tray support frames;
The seal.

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.

Removing the rack/tray support frames

Removing the rack/tray support frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily. This operation should be performed each time the automatic cleaning cycle is used (on some models only).
Removing the rack/tray support frames:

Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven cavity to unhook it from its groove A.
Then slide it out of the seats on the back B.
When cleaning is complete, repeat the above procedures to replace the rack/ tray support frames.

Pyrolytic

The pyrolytic cycle is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure that causes dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the oven cavity very easily.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces

Remove any food residues or large spills from previous cooking operations from the oven cavity.
Switch off the burners or hot plates of the cooktop installed above the oven.

Preliminary operations

Before starting the Pyrolytic cycle:

Clean the internal glass panel following the usual cleaning instructions.
For very stubborn encrustations spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass (read the warnings on the product); leave for 60 minutes, then rinse and dry the glass using a kitchen roll or a microfibre cloth.
Completely remove all accessories from inside the oven.
Remove the rack/tray support frames.
Close the door.

Setting the Pyrolytic cycle

Turn the function knob to the symbol pyrolytic cleaning function.
The duration of the Pyrolytic cycle will appear on the display.
Use the value increase or value decrease keys to set the duration of the Pyrolytic cycle from a minimum of 2 hours to a maximum of 3 and a half hours.
- Recommended pyrolytic cycle
  duration:
  - Light dirt: 2 hours.
  - Medium dirt: 2 1⁄2 hours.
  - Heavy dirt: 3 hours.
After selecting the pyrolysis cycle duration, the thermostat indicator light starts to flash and the oven starts to heat up (approx. 5 seconds after the last intervention by the user).
One minute after the pyrolysis cycle has started the door is locked (the door lock indicator light comes on) by a device that prevents the door from being opened.
- It is not possible to select any function once the door lock device has been activated.
At the end of the pyrolysis cycle, all the numbers will flash and a buzzer will sound to indicate the end of the automatic cleaning cycle.
Return the function knob to the O position.
The door remains locked as long as the temperature inside the oven returns to safety levels (the door lock indicator light comes off).
Wait for the oven to cool down and collect the residues deposited inside with a damp microfibre cloth.

During the first Pyrolytic cycle, unpleasant odors may occur due to the normal evaporation of oily substances used during manufacturing. This is absolutely normal and disappears after the first Pyrolytic cycle.
During the Pyrolytic cycle, the fans are louder due to a greater speed of rotation. This is an absolutely normal operation, intended to provide more effective heat dispersal. At the end of the Pyrolytic cycle, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to prevent overheating the sides of adjacent units and the front of the oven.
If the Pyrolytic cycle gives unsatisfactory results at a minimum duration, it is recommended to set a longer time for subsequent cleaning cycles.

Setting a programmed Pyrolytic cycle

It is possible to program the pyrolytic cycle start time just like any other cooking function.

After selecting the Pyrolytic function and the duration of the cycle (excluding the Eco Pyrolytic), press the programming knob. The display shows the current time, and the temperature and the indicator light comes on.
Turn the programming knob to set the time you wish the Pyrolytic cycle to finish.
Press the programming knob to confirm the parameters entered. The , , and indicator lights remain lit steadily and the appliance waits for the set start time to start the Pyrolytic cycle.

It is not possible to select any function once the door lock device has been activated. It remains possible, however, to switch off the appliance using the specific controls.
