FUNCTIONS
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only
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 tray on any of the levels below the wire
shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.
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.
CONVECTION BAKE
For cooking meat, baking cakes with fillings or roasting stuffed vegetables on
one shelf only. This function uses gentle, intermittent air circulation to
prevent food from drying out excessively.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
CASSEROLE
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for pasta dishes.
MEAT
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for meat. This function intermittently activates the fan at a low speed to
prevent the food from drying out too much.
MAXI COOKING
The function automatically selects the best cooking mode and temperature to
cook large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). It is advisable to turn the meat
over during cooking, to obtain even browning on both sides. It is best to
baste the meat every now and again to prevent it from drying out.
BREAD
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for all types of bread.
PIZZA
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for all types of pizza.
PASTRY CAKES
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for all types of cake.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
FAST PREHEATING
For preheating the oven quickly. Once preheating has finished, the oven will
select the “Conventional” function automatically. Wait for preheating to
finish before placing food in the oven.
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. The turnspit
(if provided) can be used with this function.
**ECO FORCED AIR*
For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets of meat 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. To use the ECO cycle and therefore optimize power
consumption, the oven door should not be opened
until the food is completely cooked.
KEEP WARM
For keeping just-cooked food hot and crisp.
RISING
For optimal proving of sweet or savory dough. To maintain the quality of
proving, do not activate the function if the oven is still hot following a
cooking cycle.
AUTOMATIC CLEANING – PYRO**
For eliminating cooking spatters use a cycle at a very high temperature. Two
self-cleaning cycles are available: A complete cycle (PYRO) and a shorter
cycle (ECO). We recommend using the quicker cycle at regular intervals and the
complete cycle only when the oven is heavily soiled.
- Function used as a reference for the energy efficiency declaration in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 65/2014

USEFUL TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories, and levels to use to cook
different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment 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-colored 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), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires a shorter
cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the
oven.
MEAT
Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of
meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the
bottom of the dish, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. Please
note that steam will be generated during this operation. When the roast is
ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in
aluminum foil.
When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in
order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require
longer cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower
the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill.
Turn the meat two-thirds of the way through cooking. Take care when opening
the door as steam will escape. To collect the cooking juices, we recommend
placing a dripping pan filled with half a liter of drinking water directly
underneath the wire shelf on which the food is placed. Top-up when necessary.
DESSERTS
Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only.
Use dark-colored metal baking pans and always place them on the wire shelf
supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and
stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding the optimum
circulation of the hot air. To check whether a leavened cake is cooked, insert
a wooden toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out
clean, the cake is ready. If using non-stick baking pans, do not butter the
edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
If the item “swells” during baking, use a lower temperature next time and
consider reducing the amount of liquid you add or stirring the mixture more
gently.
For desserts with moist fillings or toppings (such as cheesecake or fruit
tarts), use the “Convection bake” function. If the base of the cake is soggy,
lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or
biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.
PIZZA
Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the
mozzarella over the pizza two-thirds of the way through cooking.
RISING
It is always best to cover the dough with a damp cloth before placing it in
the oven. Dough proving time with this function is reduced by approximately
one-third compared to proven at room temperature (20-25°C). The rising time
for pizza starts at around one hour for 1 kg of dough.
COOKING TABLE
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
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 high water content, let the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
- Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
- The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.
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.
CLEANING THE COOKING COMPARTMENT WITH THE PYRO CYCLE
Do not touch the oven during the Pyro cycle. Remove all accessories from the
oven before running the Pyro cycle.
Keep children and animals away from the oven during and after (until the
room has finished airing) running the Pyro cycle.
This function enables you to eliminate cooking spatters using a high
temperature. At this temperature, food residues turn into deposits that can be
easily wiped away with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled down.
If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all the burners or
electric hotplates are switched off while running the self-cleaning cycle.
For optimum cleaning results, remove excessive residuals inside the cavity and
clean the inner door glass before using the Pyro function.
REPLACING THE LIGHT
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
- Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.
- Reconnect the oven to the power supply.
The oven has two different pyrolytic cleaning functions: The standard cycle
(PYRO) provides thorough cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled, while the
economic cycle (ECO) is shorter and consumes less energy than the standard
cycle, which makes it suitable for use at regular intervals.
Only run the Pyro function if the appliance contains heavy soiling or gives
off bad odors during cooking. Please note: The oven door cannot be opened
while pyrolytic cleaning is in progress. It will remain locked until the
temperature has returned to an acceptable level. Air the room during and after
running the Pyro cycle.
Please note: Only use 25-40 W/230 ~ V types E-14, T300°C incandescent bulbs or
20-40 W/230 ~ V type G9, T300°C halogen bulbs. The bulb used in the product is
specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general
room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are
available from our After-sales Service.
– If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your
fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover has
been refitted.
