FUNCTIONS
OFF
For switching off the oven.
LIGHT
For switching on the light in the compartment.
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only. It is better to use the 2nd
shelf.
STEAM CLEANING
The action of the steam released during this special low-temperature cleaning
cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200 ml of
drinking water on the bottom of the oven and use the function for 35’ at 90°C.
Activate the function when the oven is cold and let it cool down for 15′ once
the cycle ends.
CONVECTION BAKE
For baking cakes with juicy fillings on a single shelf. This function can also
be used for cooking on two shelves. Switch the position of the dishes to cook
food more evenly.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or
toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray to collect
the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf
and add 200 ml of drinking water.
TURBO GRILL
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef, chicken). We recommend
using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of
the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.
DEFROSTING
For defrosting food more quickly.
BOTTOM HEATING
Useful for browning the base of the dish. This function is recommended also
for slow-cooking, for finishing the cooking of juicy dishes, and making sauce
concentrates.
FORCED AIR
For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on
several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to
cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to
another.
BREAD
To bake different types and sizes of bread. It is better to use the 2nd shelf.
FIRST TIME USE
HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing:
this is completely normal. Before starting to cook food, we therefore
recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible
odours. Remove any protective cardboard or transparent lm from the oven and
remove any accessories from inside it. Heat the oven to 250° C for about one
hour, preferably using the “Convection bake” function. The oven must be empty
during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.
Notes: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.
DAILY USE
-
SELECT A FUNCTION
To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require. -
ACTIVATE A FUNCTION
MANUAL To start the function you have selected, turn the thermostat knob to set the temperature you require. To interrupt the function at any time, switch o the oven, turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to .
STEAM CLEANING
To activate the “Steam Cleaning” cleaning function, pour 200 ml of drinking water into the bottom of the oven, then turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the icon. It is best to use the function for 35’. -
PREHEATING
Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signalling that the preheating process has begun. At the end of this process, the LED thermostat switches off indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: At this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking. Please note: Placing the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result.
SETTING THE TIMER
This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to use the
minute minder both while a function is active and when the oven is off. To
activate the timer, turn the timer knob right round in an clockwise direction
and then turn it back in the opposite direction to the desired length of time:
an acoustic signal will warn you when the count-down isfinished.
USEFUL TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook
different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment the food is
placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking
temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and
the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with
and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the
accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking
trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in
mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “Forced Air” function, you can cook different foods which require
the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and
vegetables), on different levels. Remove the food which requires a shorter
cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the
oven.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
EXTERIOR SURFACES
- Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
- Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.
INTERIOR SURFACES
- After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, allow the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
- Activate the “Steam Cleaning” function for optimum cleaning of the internal surfaces.
- The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate cleaning of the glass.
- Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
- The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven .
ACCESSORIES
Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them
with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a
washing-up brush or a sponge.
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
-
To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position.
-
Close the door as much as you can. Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle. Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b).
Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface. -
Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.
-
Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them down completely.
-
Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.
PRESS TO CLEAN – CLEANING THE GLASS
-
After removing the door and resting it on a soft surface with the handle downwards, simultaneously press the two retaining clips and remove the upper edge of the door by pulling it towards you.
-
Lift and firmly hold the inner glass with both hands, remove it and place it on a soft surface before cleaning it.
-
To correctly reposition the inner glass, make sure that the “R” is visible in the left-hand corner. First insert the long side of the glass indicated by “R” into the support seats, then lower it into position.
-
Refit the upper edge: a click will indicate correct positioning. Make sure the seal is secure before refitting the door.
REPLACING THE LAMP
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
- Remove the cover from the light, replace the bulb and put the cover back on the light.
