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 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 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 advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.
FUNCTIONS & DAILY USE
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
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.
AUTOMATIC CLEANING – PYRO
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.
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.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or
toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a dripping pan 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 dripping pan to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of
the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of drinking water.
RISING
For helping sweet or savoury dough to rise effectively. Turn the thermostat
knob to the icon to activate this function.
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 .
The functions provide excellent results thanks to the addition of steam in cooking cycles. Only when the oven is cold, pour drinking water on the bottom of the oven and select the specific function for your preparation. The optimal water quantities and temperatures for each food category are listed in the relative cooking table. Do not preheat the oven before inserting food.
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 adjust the temperature by turning the thermostat knob. The
function will not start if the thermostat knob will be on . 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 relevant
symbol; if the oven is set to a different temperature, the function will not
start. Please note: You can set the cooking time, cooking end time (only if

Only when the oven is cold, fill the embossing of the cavity with the quantity of drinking water suggested in the relative cooking table. Place the food in the oven. Set and activate the function: At the end, carefully open the door and let steam escape slowly. Please note: During steam cooking, do not open the door and never top up the water.
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 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 “0”.

COOKING TABLE
The time indicated includes the preheating phase: we recommend placing the food in the oven and setting the cooking time when starting the function. To remove the remaining limescale from the bottom of the cavity after the cooking, just pour 250 ml of white vinegar onto the embossing of the cavity (alternatively, use a specific descaling product. For availability please contact the After Sales Service). Leave it to work at room temperature for 30 minutes, then clean the cavity with warm drinking water and a soft cloth. Cleaning is recommended at least for every 5 to 10 cooking cycles.
