up as the temperature rises.
5. When the preheating process has nished, a buzzer sounds and all the
preheating indicator lights show that this stage has been completed: the food can then be placed in the oven.
6. During cooking it is always possible to:
- modify the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob (manual modes only); - set the duration of a cooking mode (see Cooking Modes); - press the icon to stop cooking. In this case the appliance stores the temperature modied previously in its memory (manual modes only); - switch off the oven by pressing the icon for 3 seconds.
7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic
system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at which it was interrupted, provided that the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not yet started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode has been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a blackout occurs. When the power supply is restored, the mode will have to be reprogrammed). ! The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds from selecting the desired cycle. ! There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode. ! 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. ! The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds from selecting the desired cycle.24
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, as well as towards the bottom of the oven door.At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low speed. ! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufciently. Oven light The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when a cooking mode starts. When models featuring LED INSIDE technology begin cooking, the LEDs on the door light up for improved illumination of all cooking levels. The icon can be used to switch on the light at any time. Residual heat indicators The appliance is tted with a residual heat indicator. When the oven is off, the “residual heat” bar on the display lights up to indicate high temperatures inside the oven cavity. The individual segments of the bar switch off one by one as the temperature inside the oven falls. Restoring the factory settings The oven factory settings can be restored to reset all selections made by the user (clock and customised durations). To carry out a reset, switch off the oven, then keep the SELECTOR knob turned while pressing the icon for 6 seconds. Once the restore procedure is complete, a buzzer will sound. The rst time the icon is pressed, the oven will behave as if it is being switched on for the rst time. Standby This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. If no buttons are pressed for 30 minutes and the control panel/door lock has not been activated, the appliance automatically reverts to 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. Modes ! In order to guarantee wonderfully soft and crunchy foodstuffs, the oven releases – in the form of water vapour - the humidity naturally withheld in the food itself. In this way, optimal cooking results can be achieved for all types of food. ! Every time the oven is switched on, it suggests the rst manual cooking mode. Manual cooking modes ! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C as desired (300°C for GRILL mode). Any temperature adjustments will be stored in the appliance memory and suggested again the next time this mode is used. If the selected temperature is higher than the temperature inside the oven, the text “Hot” appears on the display. However, it will still be possible to start cooking. MULTILEVEL mode Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. BARBECUE mode The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. 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 (see “Practical cooking advice”). FAN GRILLING mode 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 (see “Practical cooking advice”). FAST COOKING mode This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only. LOW TEMPERATURE modes 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. BAKING mode The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise). PIZZA modes The top and circular heating elements switch on and the fan begins to operate. This combination heats the oven rapidly. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process. ECO mode The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven.This energy saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for heating foods and nishing off cooking. Automatic cooking modes ! 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. You may start cooking whether the oven has been preheated or not. The cooking duration can be customised according to personal taste by modifying the relevant value - before cooking begins - by ±5/20 minutes depending on the selected programme. The duration can however be modied even once cooking has begun. If the value is modied before the programme begins, it is stored in the memory and suggested again by the appliance when the programme is next used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected mode, the text “Hot” appears on the display and it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool. ! When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.GB
! Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking time and temperature. BAKED CAKES mode This function is ideal for cooking desserts which are made using natural yeast, baking powder and desserts which contain no yeast. Place the dish in the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven. BREAD mode Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below:
- do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan;
- remember to pour 50 g (0,5 dl) of cold water into the baking tray in position 5.
- The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1 ½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or until the dough has doubled in size. Recipe for BREAD: 1 Dripping pan holding 1000 g Max, lower level 2 Dripping pans each holding 1000 g Max, medium and lower levels Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g our, 360 g water, 11g salt, 25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast) Method:
- Mix the our and salt in a large bowl.
- Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).
- Make a small well in the mound of our.
- 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. Select the manual LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should double in volume).
- Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.
- Place them in the dripping pan, on a sheet of baking paper.
- Dust the loaves with our.
- Make incisions on the loaves.
- Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
- Start the BREAD cooking mode.
- Once baked, leave the loaves on one of the grill racks until they have cooled completely. Programming cooking ! A cooking mode must be selected before programming can take place. Programming the cooking duration

5. Press the icon to activate the programmed mode.
Programming has been set when the and icons light up alternately. The DISPLAY shows the cooking end time, the cooking duration and the set temperature alternately.
6. Once cooking has nished, “END” appears on the display and a buzzer
- For example: it is 9:00 a.m. and a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is programmed, while the end time is set to 12:30. The programme will start automatically at 11:15 a.m. To cancel programming press the icon. Practical cooking advice ! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods. ! In the GRILL and FAN GRILLING cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). MULTILEVEL
- Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.
- Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top. BARBECUE
- Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the centre of the rack.
- We recommend that the temperature is set to its maximum level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly. PIZZA OVEN
- Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as this extends the total cooking duration and prevents the crust from forming.
- If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese to the top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.26

This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode.28
Maintenance and care Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Cleaning the appliance
- Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due to the different materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.
- Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door glass are caused by reections from the oven light.
- The enamel is branded at very high temperatures. This process may cause colour variations. This is normal and will not affect appliance operation in any way. The thin edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled and may therefore appear to be unnished. This will not affect the rust protection.
- 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. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
- The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
- All accessories - with the exception of the sliding racks - can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
- We recommend that detergents are not sprayed directly onto the control panel, but that a sponge is used instead. ! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. Cleaning the oven door ! The door of LED INSIDE models cannot be removed. Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack. For more thorough cleaning purposes, the oven door may be removed:
1. Open the oven door fully (see diagram).
2. Use a screwdriver to lift up and turn the small levers F located on the two
3. Grip the door on the two outer sides and
close it approximately half way. Pull the door towards you, lifting it out of its slot (see diagram). To replace the door, reverse this sequence. Inspecting the seals Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest Service Centre (see Assistance). We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced. Replacing the light bulb To replace the oven light bulb:
1. Remove the glass cover of the
2. Remove the light bulb and replace
it with a similar one: halogen lamp voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap G 9.
3. Replace the glass cover (see
diagram). ! Do not touch the light bulb directly with your hands. ! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting. Sliding rack kit assembly To assemble the sliding racks:
1. Remove the two frames, lifting
them away from the spacers A (see gure).
2. Choose which shelf to use with the
sliding rack. Paying attention to the direction in which the sliding rack is to be extracted, position joint B and then joint C on the frame.
3. Secure the two frames with the
guide rails using the holes provided on the oven walls (see diagram). The holes for the left frame are situated at the top, while the holes for the right frame are at the bottom.
4. Finally, fit the frames on the
spacers A. ! Do not place the sliding racks in position 5.
Side and rear catalytic linersThese are panels coated with a special enamel, which is able to absorb the fat released by food as it cooks.This enamel is quite strong, so that the various accessories (racks, dripping pans, etc.) can slide along them without damaging them. White marks may appear on the surfaces; these are not a cause for concern. Nevertheless, the following should be avoided:- scraping the enamel with sharp objects (a knife, for example);- using detergents or abrasive materials. Problem Possible cause Solution The appliance has just been connected to the electricity mains or there has been a blackout. Set the clock. A programmed cooking mode does not start. There has been a blackout. Reprogram the cooking mode. Only the high luminosity “Clock button” is lit. The appliance is in standby mode Press any button to exit standby mode. The temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected mode. Wait for the oven to cool down. Fan-assisted cooking has been selected and the food looks burnt.
