FIRST TIME USE
SETTING THE TIME
You will need to set the time when you switch on the appliance for the first
time: Press until the icon and the two digits for the hour start flashing on
the display Use or to set the hour and press to confirm. The two digits for
the minutes will start flashing. Use or to set the minutes and press to
confirm
Please note: When the icon is flashing, for example following lengthy power outages, you will need to reset the time.
HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odors 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
odors. Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and
remove any accessories from inside it. Heat the oven to 250 °C for about one
hour. The oven must be empty during this time. Please note: It is recommended
to ventilate the room after using the appliance for the first time.
FUNCTIONS & DAILY USE
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
RISING
For helping the sweet or savory dough to rise effectively. Turn the thermostat
knob to the icon to activate this function.
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 odors being transferred from one food to another.
PIZZA
For baking different types and sizes of pizza and bread. It is a good idea to
swap the position of the baking trays halfway through cooking.
ECO FORCED AIR
For cooking roasts and stuffed roasting joints on a single shelf. Food is
prevented from drying out excessively by gentle, intermittent air circulation.
When this ECO function is in use, the light will remain switched off during
cooking but can be switched on again by pressing it.
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 200 ml of drinking water.
MAXI COOKING
For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5kg). We recommend turning the meat
over during cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We also recommend
basting the joint every so often to prevent it from drying out excessively.
BOTTOM HEATING
Useful for browning the bottom of dishes. The function is also recommended for
slow cooking, to finish cooking dishes with a very liquid consistency or
concentrate sauces and gravies.
BREAD AUTO
This function automatically selects the ideal temperature and baking time
for bread. For best results, carefully follow the recipe. Activate the
function when the oven is cold. The thermostat knob needs to remain in
position as the temperature is set automatically by the function.
PASTRY AUTO
This function automatically selects the ideal temperature and baking time for
cakes. Activate the function when the oven is cold. The thermostat knob needs
to remain in position as the temperature is set automatically by the function.
SMART CLEAN
The action of steam released during this special low-temperature cleaning
cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. To activate the
“Smart Clean” cleaning function pour 100-120ml of drinking water into the
bottom of the oven then turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the
icon. Activate the function when the oven is cold. The position of the icon
does not correspond to the temperature reached during the cleaning cycle
SELECT A FUNCTION
To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function
you require: the display will light up and an audible signal will sound.
ACTIVATE A FUNCTION
MANUAL
To start the function you have selected, turn the thermostat knob to set the
temperature you require. Please note: During cooking, you can change the
function by turning the selection knob or adjusting the temperature by turning
the thermostat knob. The function will not start if the thermostat knob will
be on /AUTO position. You can set the cooking time, cooking end time (only if
you set a cooking time), and a timer.
RISING
To start the “Rising” function, turn the thermostat knob to the Rising
position (40 deg) and put the function knob in the Conventional position;
Insert the food inside to oven after the preheating signal. Cover the dough
with a wet cloth or put a pan of water on the bottom of the cavity to create a
humid environment.
SMART CLEAN
To activate the “Smart Clean” cleaning function, pour 100-120ml 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 AND RESIDUAL HEAT
Once the function starts, an audible signal and a flashing icon on the display
indicate that the preheating phase has been activated. At the end of this
phase, an audible signal and the fixed icon on the display will indicate 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. After cooking and with the function deactivated, the icon may continue
to remain visible on the display even after the cooling fan has been switched
off to indicate that there is residual heat in the compartment. Please note:
The time after which the icon switches off varies because it depends on a
series of factors such as ambient temperature and function used. In any case,
the product should be considered to be off when the pointer on the selection
knob is at.
PROGRAMMING COOKING

cooking time to “00:00”. This cooking time includes a preheating phase.
PROGRAMMING THE END COOKING TIME/ DELAYED START
After a cooking duration has been set, starting the function can be delayed by
programming its end time: press until the icon and the current time start
flashing on the display. Use+ or – to set the time you want cooking to end
and press to confirm. Activate the function by turning the thermostat knob to
the temperature you require: the function will remain paused until it starts

COOKING TABLE
