How to use your oven
- Several parts are protected with a special anti-scratch film. REMOVE IT BEFORE USE. Before cooking for the first time, we recommend that the oven should be operated at 200°C for 30 minutes to remove any manufacturing greases and odours. – This oven is for domestic use only.
- Do not place items or pans directly on the oven bottom.
- Foil should only be used to cover food and not oven shelves or part of the oven. When used improperly, it will obstruct the air circulation causing problems in cooking and/or harmful accidents.
- This oven is always used with CLOSED DOOR for all the cooking functions (Grill included).

Traditional baking.
Turn the functions knob to the symbol □ and then turn the thermostat knob (fig. 2) to the required temperature. Preheating of the oven is recommended until the thermostat indicator light switches off, to show the selected temperature has been reached in the center of the oven. This function is recommended for the foods needing highest cooking temperatures or in earthenware pots. When you want to cook your food heating it from bottom turn the function knob to the symbol □ and to the symbol □ when you want to heat the food from the top. With this cooking one tray only, centrally placed, has to be used.
Wishing a more uniform warming of the oven turn the function knob to the symbol ⚠ favourable also when using more than one tray.
Forced convection baking
Turn the function knob (fig. 1) to the symbol 📁, then turn the thermostat knob (fig. 2) to required temperature. With this function more than on tray may be used at the same time because hot air is forced by the fan around the food and between the trays and also the temperature to be selected for cooking is 10-15% lower than the corresponding value for traditional baking and the action of the hot air will do more uniformly dried and crust your food. When using one tray only the lower runner is suggested to be used in order to have easier check by the oven window without opening the door. Preheating time will be very short (15 minutes are sufficient also for very sensitive items such as soufflés or whisked sponges) and the more commun foods may be cooked from a "cold start".
Cooking time
This MULTIFUNCTION oven is engineered to offer you the best cooking way for the most common international foods. Cooking results are a matter of personal preference and may easily be adjusted to follow individual requirements by slight changes to the temperature or/and cooking time.
Using the grill
Turn the function knob (fig. 1) to the symbol ☐ when you wish to grill without fan and to the symbol ☒ for fan assisted grilling. FOR GRILLING TURN THE THERMOSTAT KNOB (fig. 2) TO THE MAX. When switching on the grill the turnspit motor also will start at the same time. The fan assisted grill functions, corresponding to the symbol ☒ is suitable for wet or thick food because the action of the hot air will more uniformly cook, and the heat will enter into the food more gradually by reducing the radiation of the grill. When use this function turn they knob on 200° thermostat.
Warning
Always set the grill grid in the highest possible rack (but not too close to the heating element: fatty foods get smoke and may start a fire) place a pan in the lowest possible rack for collecting juice. If a grease fire should occur in a pan put out the flame placing a lid on the pan: NEVER THROW WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.
Using the rotisserie (see fig.)
Insert the supports "A" of the spit into the proper holes "B" at the corners of the pan, taking care that the support with the rod "C" must be placed on the left side of the pan. Run the meat through (balancing it properly to avoid unnecessary strain on the motor) and grip it securely with the forks. Insert the spit into the hole "E" on the left support; slide the pan on the first runner from the bottom. Check always that the spit end is properly inserted in the hole "E" and the rod "C" also is properly inserted in the driving tip of the motor "F". We suggest for a better connection to turn the rod "C" a little bit when inserting into the hole "F". Switch on the turnspit by turning the selector knob to the symbol ☐. For rotisserie, turn the thermostat knob (fig. 2) to 200°C.
Defrost
Turn the function knob (fig. 1) to the symbol ✦ and the thermostat knob (fig. 2) to the OFF position. Air at room temperature is forced by the fan around the food for fast defrosting.
Remember to place the food on a tray to collect the liquid from defrosting and to remove the packaging from defrosted foods before cooking.
Thermostat indicator lamp
This light is on when you turn the thermostat knob and switches off when the oven reaches the selected temperature. It will cycle on and off during cooking in line with the oven temperature.
Oven lamp
This light is always on with every selected function by the function knob (fig. 1). When needing the inside lit up without any heating element switched on, turn the selector knob to the symbol 🌐.
