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
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.

Pre-heating phase
While the oven is in pre-heating phase, the instantaneous temperature is displayed underneath the cooking mode icon.

Just as soon as the set temperature is reached, an acoustic signal is heard and the instantaneous temperature indication disappears.

Eco
This mode is intended to save energy.
Ideal for frozen or precooked food, and small portions-meals.
The preheat time is very short and cooking tends to be slower. It is not recommended for heavy loads e.g. large portions or big meal preparation.

Steam Cooking

NOTE: it is essential to carefully read the instructions and warnings to ensure correct use.

Steam operation
Steam cooking is used most for oriental cuisine but it is certainly very useful for our own.
It is fat free and has the advantage of preserving the original flavour of the food.
In this case, the food is not cooked with water but with water vapour.
Steam cooking is different than boiling. In fact, the water vapour works on the inside of the cells, which is fundamentally different from the effect of boiling water.
In fact, steam also cooks the food completely but, except for the fat, nothing else comes out of the food.
The cell walls and tendons gradually soften, the protein coagulates without coming out, the starches swell and combine and the sugars and minerals remain unchanged.
The same goes for odours, which are reduced to a minimum, or cultured substances.
Only the fat liquefies due to the heat and, for this reason, it is almost never a good idea to steam cook large cuts of meat or fish. Vitamins are another story because heat generally tends to destroy them; however, depending on the cooking time, some of them are only slightly altered. So, the foods that lend themselves to this cooking method are, generally, those with no fat such as, for example, fish, some types of meat, legumes, potatoes, cereals, eggs, pudding, vegetables, etc.
It is not good for vegetables with tough fibres or fruits in general.

Useful tips
When using the steam oven, always start with the oven cold. Using steam in a hot oven (immediately after traditional cooking) is not recommended because the benefits of cooking with steam will be cancelled out.
For steam cooking try to use the perforated stainless steel tray together with the lower stainless steel drip tray as much as possible.
The first, resting with its support on the flat grill, allows the steam to fully cook the food while draining everything released by the food during cooking through the holes.
The second, lower tray, slid under the grill on its guides, will collect the drippings and keep the oven chamber cleaner.
When done cooking, the support of the perforated tray can be used as a support to keep the hot tray off of the counter while you remove the food you just cooked.

ATTENTION
Before using any steam functions, the water container must be filled.
If while the oven is on, the message CHECK WATER CONTAINER appears on the display (acoustic signal will sound), open the door, watching out for the hot steam that will be released, extract the container and refill it. When the door is closed, the oven will go into PAUSE mode. Press the key to continue cooking.

NOTE: The steam functions will not start until the door is closed. If the door is open, the message CLOSE THE DOOR will be shown on the display. If the door is opened while the oven is on, the oven will go into pause mode. To restart the function, the door needs to be closed.

Select the desired function and confirm using the key , at this point the circuit will be filled. As soon as the water reaches the right temperature, the steam generated by the boiler will enter the cavity.

The function can be paused at any time using the key when it is pressed again the function restarts.

Steam Cooking

Steam 100
By way of radial ventilation, the steam is distributed to ensure the food is evenly heated and cooked.
This holds the advantage of being able to cook on the three different levels at the same time, taking care to insert the more “full-bodied” food on the higher level, and less dense foods such as vegetables on the lower levels (from the first to the third).
NOTE: during steam cooking, always place the lower stainless steel tray underneath the perforated cooking container, to collect any food scraps or condensate that may eventually fall.

Steam 130
During regeneration, the cooking chamber is heated with steam and warm air, which allows rapid and consistent heating of the food without drying it.
Based on the type of food being reheated, this programmed offers the possibility to modify the temperature inside the oven so as to manage this function as you please. This type of function is therefore particularly suitable for:

• Heating pre-cooked food from 70°C to 130°C;
• Preparing ready and semi-ready meals, frozen foods from 70°C to 130°C

NOTE: for these types of meals, remember to insert suitable dishes in the oven (not made from synthetic or similar materials) and to position them above the grill, making sure to remove any lids.

ATTENTION
Once the functions have been completed, a circuit discharge request will be sent (see WATER DISCHARGE paragraph).

Combined Steam and Convection Cooking
This type of cooking is called “professional cooking” because the food being cooked is placed into a cold chamber that has not been preheated.
After starting the oven, the food is initially exposed to steam (or “steamed”). After a short period of exposure to the steam, depending on the filling volume and therefore on the size of the food being cooked, the appliance automatically moves on to the second warm air phase.
This type of function is particularly suited to large meat and seafood dishes for example; large sized bread loaves made from white or whole meal flour, with yeast or yeast dough at 190°C until 210°C, as well as filled and hollow puff pastry, whether fresh or frozen from 190°C to 210°C.
NOTE: For best results when running two consecutive “professional cooking” programmed, the oven must be cooled before inserting the second dish.

ATTENTION
Once the functions have been completed, a circuit discharge request will be sent (see WATER DISCHARGE paragraph).

Steam Assist Function
This particular function can only be used with traditional oven functions.

Once the oven has been turned on, the steam assist function will only become available once the internal oven temperature has exceeded 100°C. Only from that moment on will the symbol appear on the lower part of the display.
NOTE: THIS FUNCTION IS NOT ENABLED DURING STEAM COOKING.

To inject steam inside the cavity, press the key select the icon using the arrows and and confirm using the key .

The steam assist function will be enabled and the change in status can be seen on the animated display. The steam assist function will continue for 5 minutes, humidifying the food so that it doesn’t dry out during cooking. Ideal for roasts in general, large meat/seafood dishes and softer cooking.
After 5 minutes, the oven returns to the previously set cooking function.

Using Oven Lights

A single light key activates the lights.
Touch to turn lights on or off .
Oven lights turn on automatically when the door is opened. When an oven is in use, oven lights turn on automatically when a mode is started.
Oven lights will turn off automatically when the oven mode is cancelled.
NOTE: Once switched on, the lights go off automatically after 3 minutes. To switch them back on, press the key or open the door.

Time Oven Mode Operation

Be sure that the time-of-day clock is displaying the correct time. The timed mode turns off the oven at the end of the cook time.

CAUTION
Never leave food in the oven for more than one hour before and after cooking. This could deteriorate the properties of the food itself.

NOTE: The maximum cooking time that can be set is 12 h.

Cook Time
Use the “Cook Time” function to operate the oven for a determinate period of time.
The oven starts immediately and switches off automatically once the time has expired.

To change the cooking time and stop time when the oven is already operating, simply press the key and enter the new cooking time or cooking stop time and press the key again.

Setting the Meat Probe (if present)

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.

IMPORTANT
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).

Mince
Hamburger| 71° C
Beef, veal, lamb, pork| 74° C
Chicken, turkey| 74° C
Beef, veal, lamb

WARNING

• 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.

How use the food probe
As you can see from Figure, the probe socket is located in the upper left corner of the oven chamber, protected by a metal cover with plug.
Remove the cover and insert the plug of the probe all the way (you will hear a slight confirming click).

Insert the probe in the food without touching fatty parts or bones.

WARNING
Remember that the probe will not work if it is connected when the oven is already switched on!

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.
