Thermostat indicator light (3) The indicator light comes on to indicate that the oven is heating up. Itturns off as soon as it reaches the set temperature. It flashes regularly to indicate that the temperature set inside the oven is kept constant. In pyrolytic models, the light switches on when the automatic cleaning cycle {pyrolysis) starts and remains lit until the cycle is complete Function knob (4) The oven's various functions are suitable for different cooking modes. After selecting the required function, set the cooking temperature using the temperature knob

Oven shelves The oven features shelves for positioning trays and racks at different heights. The insertion heighis are indicated from the bottom upwards (see 2.1 General Description) Cooling fan The fan cools the oven and comes into operation during cooking. The fan causes a steady outflow of air from above the door which may continue for a brief period oftime even after the appliance has been tumed off.

Functions list Eco Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is particularly suitable for cooking on a single shelf, as it provides low energy consumption. Static 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. 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 present] 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. Fan-assisted bottom The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food. In pyrolytic models, the special defrosting and proving functions are brought together under the same function

Fan-assisted 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. shin of pork]. Fan-assisted static The operation of the fan, combined With traditional cooking, ensures uniform 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" and 4° shelves.)

Bottom The heat coming just from the bottom allows you to complete the cooking of foods that require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. Turbo 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. Fan-assisted circular The combination of the fan and the circular 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. lt will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously [on different levels] without mixing odours and flavours. Defrosting Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan provided and the top heating element that ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven. Pizza The operation of the fan, combined with the grill and the lower heating element, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for biscuits and cakes.

General advice + Use a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at several levels. +_Itis 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. [fit is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill + Meaï 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. + Withthe Fan-assisted grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling. + We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack. + Withthe Grill function, we recommend that you turn the temperature knob to the maximum value near the EN /Æ symbol to optimise cooking. Advice for cooking desserts 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 + _ To check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point ofthe dessert. IFthe dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked +_lFthe 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 mea, 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 ofthe appliance clean at all times.

4 Cleaning and maintenance

4.2 Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the oven surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

4.3 Ordinary daily cleaning

Always use only specific products 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 microfibre cloth.

4.4 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic 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 set inside the oven. If left to set for 100 long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

care to centre and insert the 4 pins into Removing he guide frames enables the their housings in the oven door by sides to be cleaned more easily. This applying slight pressure. operation should be performed each time the automatic cleaning cycle is used (only on some models). To remove the guide frames. Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven to unhook it from its groove À, then slide it out of the seats B at the back. When cleaning is complete, repeat the above procedures to put the guide frames back in.

4.8 Cleaning the inside of the oven

For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. Take out all removable parts. Clean the oven racks with warm water and non-abrasive detergent. Carelully rinse and dry the damp parts.

On pizza models only: 4.9 Vapor Clean: assisted oven Remove in sequence the pizza plate cover cleaning (on some models only] {1} and the base (2) on which it is placed.

will switch the oven heating elements off and the buzzer will start to sound. End of the Vapor Clean cycle

4. Open the door and wipe away the less

stubborn dirt with a microfibre cloth.

5. Use an anti-scratch sponge with brass

filaments on tougher encrustations.

6. In case of grease residues use specific

oven cleaning products.

7. Remove the water left inside the oven.

For improved hygiene and to avoid food being affected by any unpleasant odours, we recommend that the oven is dried using a fan-assisted function at 160°C for approximately 10 minutes.
