5.3 Use of the pizza oven

• a lower heating element;

• a heating element on the roof of the oven;

• refractory stone (on the bottom) for cooking pizza and bread.

• Some cooking with high water content combined with the use of certain functions can cause the formation of condensation on the door's inner glass. To prevent this occurring, open the oven door for a few seconds once or twice while cooking.

• Do not leave food to cool in the oven after cooking to prevent condensation forming on the door's inner glass,

which may drip out of the oven when the door is opened.

5.3.2 Switching on the oven for the first time

The first time it is used, the oven may smoke or give off an acrid smell caused by oily residue from manufacturing that may give unpleasant odours or flavours to food. Before putting food in the oven, heat the oven to the maximum temperature for 30-40 minutes with the door closed and wait until the smoke or odour has stopped. It is possible to switch on the heating of the oven by turning the knob to the required temperature (from 100°C to MAX) or function.

5.3.3 Cooking with the variable grill

To activate the variable grill function, turn the “cooking functions” knob to the symbol ; then turn the “variable grill” knob clockwise to increase the time the grill heating element is active: during this phase, the “variable grill” orange light switches on and off to indicate when the heating element is active. Turning the “variable grill” knob all the way clockwise heats the grill for the maximum time. On reaching maximum grill temperature, both orange lights below the “cooking functions” and “variable grill” knobs switch off.

5.3.4 Traditional cooking

Turn the knob to the required temperature and place the food to be cooked at the required level; in this way the food will be cooked from the top and bottom by the two heating elements. To cook the food using only one element, move the functions selector to (top element) or (bottom element).

The oven is equipped with an automatic cooling system regulated by the temperature of the door. When the limit temperature is reached, the cooling fan automatically activates and then deactivates when the temperature of the door goes below the preset limit. The cooling fan may stay on after the oven has turned off. In case that does not happen, switch off the appliance and contact the Technical Service immediately.Instructions for the user

Turn the knob to position MAX. After preheating the oven for approximately 25 minutes, place the pizza directly in contact with the refractory stone on the bottom, using the spatula provided. It is advisable to use baking parchment to prevent the pizza sticking to the stone.

5.3.6 Switching off the oven

The oven is switched off by returning the knob to position "0".

6. Cooking suggestions

6.1 Suggestions for using the oven correctly

6.1.1 Traditional cooking

100÷MAX With this type of cooking, the heat comes from the top and the bottom. If the cooking requires a hotter temperature from the bottom or from the top, use the lower or upper guides. Traditional cooking is recommended for all food that requires high cooking temperatures, or long brazing times. This system is also recommended when cooking with recipients made of terracotta, porcelain and similar materials.

6.1.2 Cooking with the variable grill

The heat comes from the top. Almost all meat can be grilled, with the exception of lean game and dishes such as meat-loaf. Meat and fish to be grilled should be lightly drizzled with oil and placed on the grid bars, which should be placed in the guides closest to or farthest away from the grill element, depending on the thickness of the meat, so as to avoid burning the surface and cooking too little inside.

Position the grill pan on the lowest level to collect the juices and fat; pour one glass of water into the grill pan to prevent smoke forming due to fat overheating.Instructions for the user

• The values indicated in the table refer to the preparation of food just out of the fridge and placed in a cold, non-preheated oven, unless indicated otherwise.Instructions for the user

7. Cleaning and maintenance

Before performing any operations, switch off the power supply to the appliance.

Do not clean the surfaces of the appliance when they are still hot. Use only suitable detergents to clean the surfaces of the appliance. The manufacturer declines all responsibility and is not liable for damage arising from the use of unsuitable and/or other detergents than those indicated. Do not use pressure or steam spray guns to clean the appliance.

7.1 Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, use a solution of warm water and vinegar or neutral soap. Pour the solution onto a damp cloth and wipe the steel surface, in the direction of the satin finish, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not under any circumstances use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers that may damage the surfaces. Only use non-scratch, non-abrasive sponges and, if necessary, wooden or plastic utensils.

7.2 Cleaning the enamelled surfaces

Clean with a non-scratch, non-abrasive sponge dampened with neutral soap and water. Grease stains can easily be eliminated with hot water or a product specifically made for cleaning enamel. Rinse carefully and dry with a soft cloth or a piece of deerskin. Do not use products containing abrasives, scouring pads, steel wool or acid, which may spoil the surfaces. Do not leave acid or alkaline substances on the enamel (lemon juice, vinegar, salt, etc.).

7.3 Cleaning the polished surfaces

Clean with a non-abrasive, scratchproof sponge dampened with warm water and neutral soap or with a standard detergent for polished surfaces. Rinse and dry carefully with a soft cloth. Abrasive pastes, coarse wire pads, steel wool or acid will damage the surfaces. Do not use alcohol.

7.4 Cleaning the knobs and the control panel

Clean the knobs and the control panel with a damp cloth.Instructions for the user

7.5 Cleaning the oven

In order to preserve the oven well, it should be cleaned regularly, each time it is used if possible, after leaving it to cool: in this way it is possible to remove any residue more easily, preventing it from burning the next time the oven is used. Clean the stainless steel parts and enamelled parts as described in the corresponding sections “7.1 Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces” and “7.2 Cleaning the enamelled surfaces”. Take out all the removable parts and wash them separately. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Never use detergent products to clean this type of oven. The walls of the oven can be cleaned using white vinegar and wiped with a cloth dampened with water. Subsequently, heat the oven for at least one hour at 150°C to facilitate cleaning. When the oven has cooled, wipe it again with a damp cloth.

We recommend always keeping the oven door clean. Use kitchen roll and on tougher dirt use a damp cloth and household detergent.

Spray cleaning products must not be used to clean the thermostat sensors inside the oven.Instructions for the user
