FUNCTIONS

EN

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

CONVECTION BAKE

To cook on a maximum of two shelves at the
same time. 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.

FIRST TIME USE

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

• FISH

• MEAT

• BREAD
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.

To select a function, turn the selection knob to the
symbol for the function you require: the display will

2. 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 rst time.
