FUNCTIONS & DAILY USE
1. SELECT A FUNCTION
To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require.
OFF
LAMP
To switch on the oven light.
CONVENTIONAL
Function suitable for cooking any type of dish on one shelf. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and place the food in it when the set temperature is reached. It is advisable to use the second or third shelf for cooking. This function is also suitable for cooking frozen convenience foods; follow the instructions on the food packaging.
CONVECTION BAKE
To bake cakes with liquid lling (sweet or savoury) on a single level. This function is ideal also for cooking on two levels. If necessary, switch the positions of the dishes to cook food more evenly.
GRILL
To grill steak, kebabs and sausages, to cook vegetables au gratin and to toast bread. Preheat the oven for 3-5min. During cooking the oven door must remain closed. When cooking meat, pour a little water into the drip tray (on the rst level) to reduce smoke and fat spatters. Ideally the meat should be turned during cooking.
BAKING TRAY* Use for cooking all bread and pastry products, but also for roasts, sh en papillotte, etc.
Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides, making sure that the side with the raised edge is facing upwards. Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.
* Available only on certain models.
TURBOGRILL
To grill large joints of meat (roast beef and other roast meats). The oven door must be kept closed during the cooking cycle. When cooking meat, it is advisable to pour water in the drip-tray placed on the rst level. This will reduce smoke and spattering of fat. Turn the meat during grilling.
DEFROSTING
This function can be used to speed up the thawing of food at room temperature. The food should be placed in the oven in its wrapping to avoid it from drying out.

RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding pre­heating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark coloured metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in pyrex or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied) to be placed on the various shelves.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “CONVECTION BAKE” function, you can cook dierent foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: sh and vegetables), using dierent shelves. Switch leveles two-thirds through cooking if necessary. Remove the food which requires less cooking time and leave food which requires longer cooking time in the oven.
Desserts
Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark coloured metal cake tins and always position 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 optimum circulation of the hot air.
To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
If the cake “sinks” during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and mixing more gently."
For sweets with moist llings (cheesecake or fruit pies) 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 lling.
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 avour. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium 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.
To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water directly under the grill on which the meat is placed. Top­up when necessary.
Turnspit (only in some models)
Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat on the turnspit rod, tying it with string if chicken, and check that it is secure before inserting the rod in the seat located on the front wall of the oven and resting it on the respective support. To prevent smoke and to collect cooking juices, it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water on the rst level. The rod has a plastic handle which must be removed before starting to cook, and used at the end of cooking to avoid burns when taking the food out of the oven.
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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1 2 3

~15°

a
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 surfaces with a damp microbre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH -neutral detergent. Finish o 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 microbre 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. 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.
LOWER THE TOP HEATING ELEMENT (Only in some models)
The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven. Remove the side accessory lateral shelves. Pull the heating element out a little (1) and lower it (2). To reposition the heating element, lift it up, pulling it slightly towards you, making sure it comes to rest on the lateral support (3).
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR
To remove the door, open it fully and lift the catches, pushing them forwards until they are in the unlock position (1). Close the door as much as you can. Take a rm 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 at the same time until it is released from its seating (2). Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.

Ret 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. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position (3): Make sure that you lower them down completely. Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position.
b
Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above: The door could become damaged if it does not work properly.
REPLACING THE LAMP
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.
