Oven structure The Openspace oven has a capacity of 70 litres and offers users the option of cooking on 4 shelves at the same time or cooking large quantities which would not necessarily be possible in a traditional oven. Thanks to the ExtraLarge Space, Openspace offers 10 cooking functions, 6 of which are universal and suitable for any type of cooking, while the remaining 4 are automatic programmes which can be used to achieve perfect results for any recipe. The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Make sure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away. Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged. Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided. We suggest not opening the door when cooking foodstuffs which require leavening, so as to not compromise cooking results. Cooling ventilation In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door. Once cooking is completed, the cooling fan activates and deactivates automatically until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. Oven light When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time by pressing the light control button. Setting the clock ! This may only be set while the oven is switched off.

LOW TEMPERATURE function This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65 and 90 °C. Spit roast (only available in certain models) To operate the spit roast function (see diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping

support in position 3 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Begin spit roast operation by selecting the

functions. Automatic cooking functions The temperature and cooking duration are pre- set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. The cooking duration may be modified by a period of several minutes, as specified in the description of the individual functions below. MEAT function Use this function to cook veal, pork, lamb and beef. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven. It will only be possible to adjust the duration by -10/ +10 minutes. BAKED CAKES function This function is ideal for baking cakes. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven. It will only be possible to adjust the duration by -10/+15 minutes. - Set a duration (for universal cooking functions only) and the cooking end time. - Stop cooking by turning the FUNCTION knob to the 0 position.

5. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in

operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking function from the point at which it was interrupted, as long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed. Universal cooking functions All functions have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 40°C and 250°C as desired. For the BARBECUE function, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually. MULTILEVEL function All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of four racks may be used at the same time. If you are using several racks at the same time, we recommend you place the dripping pan on the lower rack. If you are cooking on 4 levels at the same time, we recommend you place the shelves on racks 3, 5 and 6 and the dripping pan on rack

GRATIN function The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating element is also activated. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. BARBECUE function The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. By turning the SET TEMPERATURE knob, the different power levels which may be set will appear on the display; these range between 5% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.19

BREAD function Use this function to make bread. Please see the following chapter for the recipe and further details. To achieve the best possible results, we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below: Follow the recipe. Remember to pour 150 g (150 ml) of cold water into the baking tray, which should be placed in position

Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. If you wish to place the food in the oven after it has been preheated, immediately following a high- temperature cooking programme, the text Hot will appear on the display until the temperature of the oven has fallen to 40°. At this point it will be possible to place the bread in the oven. PIZZA function Use this function to make pizza. Please see the following chapter for further details. It will only be possible to adjust the duration by -5/+12 minutes. To achieve the best possible results, we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below: Follow the recipe. The weight of the dough should be between 350 g and 500 g. Lightly grease the dripping pan and the baking trays. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. If you wish to place the food in the oven after it has been preheated, immediately following a high- temperature cooking programme, the text Hot will appear on the display until the temperature of the oven has fallen to 120°. At this point it will be possible to place the pizza in the oven. Recipe for PIZZA: Makes 3 or 4 pizzas: 1000 g flour, 500 ml water, 20 g salt, 20 g sugar, 100 ml olive oil, 20 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast) Leavening at room temperature: 1 hour, or LOW TEMPERATURE manual function set to 40°. Leave to rise for approximately 30-45 minutes. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. Start the PIZZA cooking mode. Recipe for BREAD (maximum amount of dough): Ingredients:

700 g water 25 g salt 50 g fresh bakers yeast or 4 sachets dried yeast powder. Method: Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees). Make a small well in the mound of flour. Pour in the water and yeast mixture. Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes, until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky. Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Place the bowl in the oven, set to 40° using the LOW TEMPERATURE manual function, and leave to rise for approximately 3045 minutes. Alternatively, leave at room temperature for approximately 1 hour (until the dough has doubled in volume). Break up the dough, kneading gently, and divide it to create several loaves. Place them on a sheet of baking paper (cut to the same size as the inside of the dripping pan) on top of the rack (or on 2 or 3 racks if you wish to cook the loaves on different shelves) and dust them lightly with flour. Make a few incisions in the top using a sharp blade. Place the rack in the oven, on shelf level 2 if using only one level, or place two racks on shelf levels 1 and 4 if using two levels, or place three racks on shelf levels 1, 3 and 5 if using three levels. Place the dripping pan on shelf level 7 and pour in 150 g cold water. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. Start the automatic function BREAD. When the cooking process has finished, leave the loaves to rest on the rack until they have completely cooled.20

Precautions and tips This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. General safety The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms. When moving or positioning the appliance, always use the handles provided on the sides of the oven. Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet. The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation of food, in accordance with the instructions provided in this booklet. Do not touch the heating elements or certain parts of the oven door when the appliance is in use; these parts become extremely hot. Keep children well away from it and do not touch the hot parts yourself. Ensure that the power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the oven. The openings used for the ventilation and dispersion of heat must never be covered. Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends may be hot. Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the oven or when removing it. Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven. Do not place flammable materials in the oven: If the appliance is switched on accidentally, the materials could catch fire. Always make sure the knobs are in the l/ position when the appliance is not in use. When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable. Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains. If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced individuals may cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a Service Centre (see Assistance). Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door. The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance. Do not let children play with the appliance. Disposal When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public service or their local dealer. Respecting and conserving the environment You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning. The cooking mode programming options, the delayed cooking mode (see Cooking modes) and delayed automatic cleaning mode (see Care and Maintenance) in particular, enable the user to organise their time efficiently. Always keep the oven door closed when using the BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: this will achieve improved results while saving energy (approximately 10%). Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion. This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, the appliance automatically switches to the standby mode. The standby mode is visualised by the high luminosity "Watch Icon". As soon as interaction with the machine resumes, the system's operating mode is restored.23

Care and maintenance Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Cleaning the appliance The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap.
