FUNCTIONS
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
RISING
For helping sweet or savoury 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 odours 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 .
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.
MAXI COOKING
For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg).
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.
PASTRY AUTO
This function automatically selects the ideal temperature and baking time
for cakes. Activate the function when the oven is cold.
STEAM +
The Steam+ function allows to obtain excellent performances thanks to the
presence of steam in the cooking cycle. This function automatically manages
the ideal temperature for cooking a wide range of recipes; the cooking times
of the main dishes are shown in the relative cooking table. Always activate
the steam function when the oven is cold, and after pouring 200 ml of drinking
water into the bottom of the cavity. To activate Steam+ function, the
thermostat knob needs to be turned in to position of icon.
FLEXI CLEAN PACK
SMARTCLEAN
The action of the steam released during this special low-temperature
cleaning cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. To
activate the “Smart Clean” function, pour 100-120 ml of drinking water on 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′. Activate the function when the

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.

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”.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.
Wear protective gloves.
The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.
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, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
-
To remove the remaining limescale from the bottom of the cavity after the cooking, we recommend to clean the cavity with the products provided by After Sales Service (please follow instructions attached to the product).
Cleaning is recommended at least for every 5 to 10 cooking cycles. -
If there is stubborn dirt on the interior surfaces, we recommend running the automatic cleaning function for optimal cleaning results. Avoid activating the pyrolitic cycle cleaning in the presence of limescale residues. Before activating, perform limescale cleaning as described above.
-
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.
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

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.
3. 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.
4. Lower the door and then open it fully.
Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them
