Functions list

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 fitted) 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^nd and 4^th shelves.)

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.

3.5 Cooking advice

General advice

• Use a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at several levels.
• It is 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. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking.

Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill

• Meat 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.
• With the Fan-assisted grill function, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling.
  We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend that you turn the temperature knob to the maximum value near the 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 of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10^ , 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 meat, 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 of the appliance clean at all times.

• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.

4.2 Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the 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 too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

4.5 Removing the door

For easier cleaning, the door can be removed and placed on a canvas.

To remove the door proceed as follows:

1. Open the door completely and insert two pins into the holes on the hinges indicated in the figure.

1. Grasp the door on both sides with both hands, lift it forming an angle of around 30^ and remove it.

1. To reassemble the door, put the hinges in the relevant slots in the oven, making sure that grooved sections A are resting completely in the slots. Lower the door and once it is in place remove the pins from the holes in the hinges.

4.6 Cleaning the door glazing

The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and an ordinary detergent.

We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.

4.7 Removing the internal glass panels

For easier cleaning the door internal glass panels can be disassembled.

1. Remove the internal glass panel by pulling the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows (1).
2. Then, pull the front part upwards (2). In this way, the 4 pins attached to the glass detach from their housings in the oven door.

1. Some models have an intermediate glass panel. Remove the intermediate glass panel by lifting it upwards.

Cleaning and maintenance

1. Clean the external glass panel and the panels previously removed. Use absorbent kitchen roll. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and neutral detergent.

1. Refit the panels in the reverse order in which they were removed.
2. Reposition the internal glass panel. Take care to centre and insert the 4 pins into their housings in the oven door by applying slight pressure.

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. Carefully rinse and dry the damp parts.

The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 15-20 minutes after the use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

For easier cleaning, remove the door.

Removing self-cleaning panels and racks/trays support frames

Removing the guide frames enables the sides to be cleaned more easily. This operation should be performed each time the automatic cleaning cycle is used (on some models only).

To remove the guide frames: Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven to unhook it from its groove A, 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.

Regeneration of self-cleaning panels (catalysis cycle)

The regeneration cycle of the self-cleaning panels is a cleaning method through heating suitable for removing small grease residues, not sugar-based ones.

1. Clean the base and the upper guard first with a microfibre cloth soaked in water and neutral washing up liquid. Rinse thoroughly.
2. Set a regeneration cycle by selecting a fan-assisted function at the maximum temperature for one hour.
3. If the panels are particularly dirty after the regeneration cycle, remove them and wash them with neutral washing up liquid. Rinse and dry them.

Put the panels back in the oven and set a fan-assisted function at a temperature of 180^ for one hour, in order to ensure that they are thoroughly dry.

We recommend carrying out the self-cleaning panel regeneration cycle every 15 days.
