Before using your oven for the first time remove all packing and foreign materials from the oven(s). Any material of this sort left inside may melt or burn when the appliance is used. Error codes This code appears in the event of the electronic control indicating a fault. When the error appears, the current function is blocked. If the type of error is related to a safety function, the oven becomes unusable and every time a start attempt is made, the same error appears (in which case call in the after- sales service), while if the error relates to a minor fault, after being restarted the oven can be used for the functions that do not involve the faulty part (e.g., a heating element). Beeps Confirms that the command has been received after a key has been pressed. It also indicates that a time function has been completed (e.g. Timer or Timed Cooking). During the execution of a recipe, an acoustic signal warns the user that the oven is waiting for operation by the user (e.g., insert the dish or turn it over). Beeps also signal an oven fault. Default Settings The cooking modes automatically select a suitable temperature when the cooking mode is selected, these can be changed when a different one is needed. F Failure Number Codes These codes are displayed when the electronic control detects a problem in the oven or in the electronics. The error code is recorded in the Error Log in the Setup menu. This error can be communicated to the service technician so he/she can understand the possible cause of the problem in advance. Preheat and Fast Preheat Whenever a cooking mode is set and the oven is heating, the preheating starts, during this period, the instantaneous temperature is displayed together with the thermometer icon. As soon as the 100% is reached, the control sounds an “end of preheat” tone and the current temperature value disappears. When it’s necessary to heat up the oven rapidly, a Fast Preheat mode is available: it uses the heating elements and the convection fan in a special way, in order to reduce the heating time as long as possible. After having set one of the cooking functions for which the fast preheat is available and set the desired temperature value touch the key, after entering the functions menu, select the icon by means of the keys and confirm by means of the key

As soon as the set-point temperature is reached, the control sounds a and both “Fast Preheat Icon” and “current temperature” disappear. The oven switches automatically to the desired cooking mode that was previously set: put the food inside now.

• Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake and Convection Roast modes.

• Use Fast Preheat mode when a shorter time is desired to preheat the oven.

• Selecting a higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.

• Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

• Preheating will help to sear roasts and seal in meat juices.

• Place oven racks in their proper position before preheating.

• During preheating, the selected cooking temperature is always displayed.

• A beep will confirm that the oven is preheated and the “detected temperature” will turn off. Operational Suggestions

• Do not set pans on the open oven door.

• Use the interior oven lights to view the food through the oven door window rather than opening the door frequently. Utensils

• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25°F (15°C) when baking in glass.

• Use pans that give the desired browning. The type of finish on the pan will help determine the amount of browning that will occur.

• Shiny, smooth metal or light non-stick / anodized pans reflect heat, resulting in lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of utensil.

• Dark, rough or dull pans will absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

• For brown, crisp crusts, use dark non-stick / anodized or dark, dull metal utensils or glass bake ware. Insulated baking pans may increase the length of cooking time.

• Do not cook with the empty broiler pan in the oven, as this could change cooking performance.

• Store the broil pan outside of the oven. Oven Condensation and Temperature

• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

• Your new oven has an electronic temperature sensor that allows maintaining an accurate temperature. Your previous oven may have had a mechanical thermostat that drifted gradually over time to a higher temperature. It is normal that you may need to adjust your favorite recipes when cooking in a new oven. High Altitude Baking

• When cooking at high altitude, recipes and cooking time will vary from the standard.EN

When roasts, steaks or poultry are being cooked, this is the best way to tell when the food is correctly cooked. This oven is optionally provided with the meat probe feature to sense the temperature inside meat and stop cooking as soon as the set value is reached. When the probe is used, the oven automatically checks the cooking time. NOTE : the food probe is an accessory available only in some versions of the product. Tenderness, aroma and flavour are the result of precise, functional control. The food probe is a thermometer which, when inserted into the food, makes it possible to check the internal temperature and use it to establish the end of cooking. For example, meat may look like it is cooked on the outside, but still be pink on the inside! The temperature reached by food during cooking is closely linked to problems relating to health and hygiene. Bacteria can be contained in every kind of meat, poultry and fish, as well as raw eggs. Certain types of bacteria make food go off, while others, such as Salmonella, Campylobacter jejuni, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus can be seriously harmful to human health. Bacteria multiply very quickly above a temperature of 4.4° up to 60°C. Mince is particularly at risk from this point of view. To prevent bacteria from multiplying, it is necessary to take the following measures:

• Do not defrost food at room temperature, always in the fridge or in the oven using the specific function. In the latter case, cook the food immediately afterwards.

• Stuff chicken just before eating it. Never buy pre-packed ready-stuffed chicken and only buy ready-cooked stuffed chicken when you intend to eat it within 2 hours.

• Marinate food in the fridge, not at room temperature.

• Use a food probe to check the temperature of meat, fish and poultry if they are more than 5 cm thick, to ensure that the minimum cooking temperatures are reached.

• The greatest hazards are posed by poorly cooked chicken, particularly at risk from Salmonella.

• Avoid interrupting the cooking process, i.e., partially cooking food, storing it and completing the cooking process later. This sequence encourages the growth of bacteria due to the “warm” temperatures reached inside the food.

• Roast meat and poultry in the oven at temperatures of at least 165°C. NB: Use only the meat probe supplied with the appliance. In any case, we recommend that you consult the following table taken from the National Food Safety Database (USA). Food Minimum internal temperature Mince Hamburger 71° C Beef, veal, lamb, pork 74° C Chicken, turkey 74° C Beef, veal, lamb Roasts and steaks: Rare The cooking temperature for rare meat is not indicated by the NFSD as it is unsafe for health reasons Medium-rare 63° C Medium 71° C Well done 77° C Pork Chops, roasts, ribs: Medium 71° C Well done 77° C Fresh ham 71° C Fresh sausages 71° C Poultry Whole chicken or chicken pieces 82° C Duck 82° C Whole turkey (not stuffed) 82° C Turkey breast 77° CEN

• To avoid burns, use a kitchen glove to fit and remove the meat probe when the oven is hot.

• Always remove the probe using the grip. If it is removed by pulling the cable, it could suffer damage.

• Make sure the food is completely de-frozen when the probe is fitted. Otherwise it could suffer damage. NOTE: The meat probe is not enabled for all functions (meat probe function not available also for Recipes). If it is fitted during one of these functions, a probe removal message appears on the screen. If the meat probe is accidentally removed during operation, a warning message appears on the screen. The temperature of the probe can be set between 104°F and 212°F (40°C - 100°C). The oven stores the last temperature set by the user. Insert the tip of the probe in the central and thickest part of the meat. Make sure the probe is not in contact with the fat, bone, oven parts or dishes. The meat probe is automatically recognised when it is inserted and the icon appears on the screen. When a cooking mode is started with the probe inserted, the display page for setting the function appears automatically.

1. Set the required probe temperature by means of the arrows

and confirm with the key.

2. After pressing the key, cooking starts and all probe

cooking details appear on the screen.

• Instantaneous probe temperature Once the set probe temperature is reached, the oven switches off and an acoustic signal warns that cooking has terminated. NOTE: After cooking has started, the oven temperature can in any case be changed at any time by means of the arrows

To change the probe temperature, press the key and then the key and finally, the key again.EN

Roast Tips and Techniques Roasting is cooking with heated air. Both upper and lower elements in the oven are used to heat the air but no fan is used to circulate the heat. Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shape and finish of the baking utensil. General Guidelines

• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1” - 1 ½” (2,5 - 3cm) space between utensils and oven walls.

• Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.

• Check for doneness at the minimum time.

• Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish), heatproof glass, glass-ceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.

• When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from recommended temperature.

• Use baking sheets with or without sides or jelly roll pans.

• Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning. Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.

• Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the oven. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will alter the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven.

• Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.

• Tips for Solving Baking Problems are found on Page 35. True Convection Tips and Techniques

• Reduce recipe baking temperatures by 25°F (15°C).

• For best results, foods should be cooked uncovered, in low- sided pans to take advantage of the forced air circulation. Use shiny aluminum pans for best results unless otherwise specified.

• Heatproof glass or ceramic can be used. Reduce temperature by another 25°F (15°C) when using heatproof glass dishes for a total reduction of 50°F (30°C).

• Dark metal pans may be used. Note that food may brown faster when using dark metal bake ware.

• The number of racks used is determined by the height of the food to be cooked.

• Baked items, for the most part, cook extremely well in convection. Don’t try to convert recipes such as custards, quiches, pumpkin pie , or cheesecakes, which do not benefit from the convection-heating process. Use the regular Bake mode for these foods.

• Multiple rack cooking for oven meals is done on rack positions 1, 2, 3 , and 4. All four racks can be used for cookies, biscuits and appetizers. - 2 Rack baking: Use positions 1 and 3. - When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans so that one pan is not directly above another. For best results, place cakes on front of upper rack and back of lower rack (See graphic at right). Allow 1” - 1 ½” (2,5 - 3cm).air space around pans.

• Converting your own recipe can be easy. Choose a recipe that will work well in convection.

• Reduce the temperature and cooking time if necessary. It may take some trial and error to achieve a perfect result. Keep track of your technique for the next time you want to prepare the recipe using convection.

Foods recommended for Convection Bake mode: Appetizers Biscuits Coffee Cakes Cookies (2 to 4 racks) Yeast Breads Cream Puffs Popovers Casseroles and One-Dish Entreés Oven Meals (rack positions 1, 2, 3) Air Leavened Foods (Soufflés, Meringue, Meringue- Topped Desserts, Angel Food Cakes, Chiffon Cakes) RACK POSITION

Rack 3Rack 1 Quick and easy recipe tips Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION BAKE:

• Reduce the temperature by 25°F (15°C).

• Use the same baking time as Bake mode if under 10 to 15 minutes.

• Foods with a baking time of less than 30 minutes should be checked for doneness 5 minutes earlier than in standard bake recipes.

• If food is baked for more than 40 to 45 minutes, bake time should be reduced by 25%.EN

Convection Roast Tips and Techniques

• Do not preheat for Convection Roast.

• Roast in a low-sided, uncovered pan.

• When roasting whole chickens or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

• Use the 2-piece broil pan for roasting uncovered.

• Use the probe or a meat thermometer to determine the internal doneness on “END” temperature.

• Double-check the internal temperature of meat or poultry by inserting meat thermometer into another position.

• Large birds may also need to be covered with foil (and pan roasted) during a portion of the roasting time to prevent over- browning. Quick and easy recipe tips Converting from standard BAKE to CONVECTION ROAST:

• Temperature does not have to be lowered.

• Roasts, large cuts of meat and poultry generally take 10- 20% less cooking time. Check doneness early.

• Casseroles or pot roasts that are baked covered in CONVECTION ROAST will cook in about the same amount of time.

• The minimum safe temperature for stuffing in poultry is 165ºF (75ºC).

• After removing the item from the oven, cover loosely with foil for 10 to 15 minutes before carving if necessary to increase the final foodstuff temperature by 5° to 10°F (3° to 6° C). Cooking times are indicative and also depend on the thickness and the starting temperature of the meat before cooking. Convection Broil Tips and Techniques

• Place rack in the required position needed before turning on the oven.

• Use Convection Broil mode with the oven door closed.

• Do not preheat oven.

• Use the 2-piece broil pan.

• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (see convection broil chart). Broiling and convection broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly. Cooking times are indicative and also depend on the thickness and the starting temperature of the meat before cooking. Broil Tips and Techniques

• Place rack in the required position needed before turning on the oven.

• Use Broil mode with the oven door closed.

• Preheat oven for 5 minutes before use.

• Use the 2-piece broil pan.

• Turn meats once halfway through the cooking time (see convection broil chart). Broiling and convection broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly. Cooking times are indicative and also depend on the thickness and the starting temperature of the meat before cooking. Dehydrate Tips and Techniques

• Dehydrating can be done using the Dehydrate mode. A lower temperature is used and the circulating heated air slowly removes the moisture for food preservation.

• The Dehydrate mode temperature is pre-programmed at 140ºF (60ºC).

• The Dehydrate mode temperatures available are 120ºF (50ºC) to 160ºF (70ºC).

• Multiple racks can be used simultaneously.

• Some foods require as much as 14-15 hours of time to fully dehydrate.

• Consult a food preservation book for specific times and the handling of various foods.

• This mode is suitable for a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips.

• Drying screens can be purchased at specialty kitchen shops.

• By using paper towels, some food moisture can be absorbed before dehydrating begins (such as with sliced tomatoes or sliced peaches).EN

Clean Assisted cleaning High temperature cycle (250°C), combined with self-cleaning panels for gentle, non-invasive cleaning of the cooking chamber. Correct operation is combined with the use of the lateral panels and catalytic fan cover: the oven is treated with special enamel with a micro-porous structure, which breaks down the fat projected thanks to a catalytic oxidisation process which transforms residues into gaseous products. The turbo clean function is only activated when no cooking function has been selected, so: switch on the oven and touch the symbol as shown in the figure for five seconds. WARNING The cleaning process takes place at a temperature of 250°C and lasts one hour. Do not use it for cooking food!! The oven light is activated and can be switched off and on again at any time.
