FUNCTIONS

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.

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 pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.

TURBOGRILL

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 200 ml of
drinking water.

DEFROSTING

For defrosting food more quickly.

BREAD AUTO

This function automatically selects the ideal
temperature and baking time for bread. For best
results, carefully follow the recipe. Activate the
function when the oven is cold.

PASTRY AUTO

This function automatically selects the ideal
temperature and baking time for cakes. Activate the
function when the oven is cold.

DIAMOND CLEAN

The action of the steam released during this
special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt
and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200
ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and
only activate the function when the oven is cold.

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

A new oven may release odours that have been left
behind during manufacturing: this is completely

to remove any possible odours.
Remove any protective cardboard or transparent lm
from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it.
Heat the oven to 250 °C for about one hour,
preferably using the “Multilevel” function. The oven
must be empty during this time.
Follow the instructions for setting the function
correctly.
