How to use your oven
This multi-function oven combines the adv antages of traditional convection ov ens with those of the more modern
fan assisted models in a single appliance.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to
choose easily and safely between 5 different cooking
modes. The various features offered by the oven are selected by means of selector knob “B” and thermostat “C”
situated on the control panel.
Notice: The first time y ou use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the ov en on f or about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom
shelf of the oven to prev ent any sauce and/or grease from
dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling
food or when using the rotisserie (only available on certain models). F or all other types of cooking, ne ver use the
bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of
the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Alw ays place your cookware (dishes , aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven guides
Notice: to use the oven in manual mode (not using the
end cooking time programmer), the 9 symbol must be
aligned with the reference mark on the control panel.
Convection Mode a
Position of thermostat knob “C”: betw een 60°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come
on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has
been perfected, with exceptional heat distrib ution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of
several ingredients , e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice,
etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal
or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for baking cakes as well as fruit
and cooking using covered casserole dishes for o ven baking. When cooking in conv ection mode, only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be unev en. Using the diff erent rack heights
available, you can balance the amount of heat between
the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among
the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs
more or less heat from the top.
Fan Assisted Mode b
Position of thermostat knob “ C”: Between 60°C and Max.
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on.
Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout
the oven, the air cooks and browns f ood uniformly over its
entire surface. With this mode , you can also cook v arious
dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks
can be used at the same time, following the instructions in
the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”.
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as f or example:
lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chic ken and potatoes, etc…
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts . This
results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender
and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The f an
assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which
can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of
condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance.
Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perf ect for baking
leavened cak es.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly
white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to
80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to
60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.
“Top” oven c
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Betw een 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill d
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Max
The top central heating element comes on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surf ace of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender . The grill is
also highly recommended for dishes that require a high
temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
filets, hamburgers etc...
Cook food with the oven door ajar.
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph.
Fan Assisted Grill e
Position of thermostat knob “C”: between 60°C and 200°C .
The top central heating element and the fan come on. This
combination of features increases the effectiv eness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements
through forced circulation of the air throughout the ov en.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent
results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and
vegetables, sausages , ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy
sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
Cook food in “fan assisted grill mode” with the oven
door shut.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, lik e swordfish, tuna, grouper , stuff ed cuttlefish etc.

End Cooking Time Knob (I) (only available on certain
models)
Some models are equipped with a timer program to control
when the oven shuts off during cooking. To use this feature ,
you must wind the “I” knob one full turn in the clockwise
direction 4 ; Then, turn the knob in the counter-clockwise
direction 5, to set the time by matching up the indicator
on the control panel with the number of minutes on the
knob.
At the end of the programmed length of time, the timer will
sound and automatically turn off the oven.
Attention: to use the oven in manual mode without the
cooking control timer, match the indicator on the control
panel with the 9 symbol on the timer knob .
When the oven is not in use, the cooking control timer can
be used like a normal timer.
The oven light
Set knob “B” to the 8 symbol to turn it on. It lights the
oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating elements in the oven come on.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some
models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on
automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard
exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.

How to Keep Your Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
• Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be
washed with lukewar m water without using any abrasive powders or corrosiv e substances which could ruin
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains
are difficult to remove, use special products available
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse
thoroughly and dry .
• the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot
water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and
the interior dried thoroughly. Av oid using abrasiv e detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as
limescale-remover , etc…) as these could damage the
enamel. If the grease spots and dir t are particularly
tough to remove, use a special product f or ov en cleaning, following the instructions provided on the packet.
• if you use your oven for an extended period of time,
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
• there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening
which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the
condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary,
clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact
your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
• never line the o ven bottom with aluminium foil, as the
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven
door. Proceed as follows:
• open the door fully;
• lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two
hinges;
• grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly
but not completely;
• pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;
Reassemble the door by follo wing the abov e procedures
backwards.

Replacing the Oven Lamp
• Disconnect the oven from the power supply b y means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the
plug is accessible;
• Remove the glass cov er of the lamp-holder;
• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics:
- Voltage: 230/240 V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains power supply.

Practical Cooking Advice
The oven off ers a wide range of alternatives which allow
you to cook any type of food in the best possib le wa y . With
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a
guideline which may be varied according to your o wn personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case
when cooking leavened f oods), the “fan assisted” mode
b can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly
as possible in order to sav e on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most
appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Cooking on More Than One Rack
If you have to cook on more than one rack at the same
time, use only the “fan assisted mode” b which is the
only one that is appropriate for this type of cooking.
• The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted
cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and
therefore delicate foodstuffs could be bur nt on these
racks.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the
bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place
the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
• When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times
and temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere
between the two temperatures required, place the more
delicate food on the 4th rac k from the bottom and take
the food requiring less time out of the oven first.
• Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on
the upper;
Using the Grill
This multi-function oven offers you 2 different grilling
modes.
Use the “grill” mode d, with the oven door ajar , placing
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd
or 4th rack f orm the bottom) because only the central part
of the top heating element is turned on.
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the
dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/or grease
and prevent the same from dripping onto the ov en bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the
thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not
mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by
adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Setting e “fan assisted grill”, only with the oven door
shut, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the
distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown
the surface, b ut also to cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin
finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd
oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of
the oven and thus smoke from f orming, place a drippingpan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
Important: always use the “fan assisted grill ” with the
oven door shut. This will allow y ou both to obtain excellent
results and to save on energy (appro ximately 10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat
to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill,
which is based on the use of infrared rays . However, this
does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures , simply
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated
oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been
preheated thoroughly (the red light “E” will turn off). Do
not open the oven door during baking to prev ent the cake
from dropping. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the tem peratur e by 10°C and r educ e the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower t he temp eratu re by 10° C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack , lower the t emper atur e, and
increase the coo king time .
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lowe r the te mperat ure, a nd incr ease
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprink le it with a dusting o f
flour or use greaseproo f paper .
I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at th e same
cooking point
Use a lower temperature s ettin g. It is not nec essa ry to
remove the food from all the ra cks at t he sam e time.

Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “fan
assisted “ b mode:
• Preheat the oven f or at least 10 min utes;
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the grid
supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza
is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfway through the cooking process .
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and
4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the pizzas
in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10
minutes.

Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting. Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
This appliance complies with the following European
Economic Community directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low V oltage) and subsequent
modifications;
- 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic
