FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

MULTILEVEL

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.

XL COOKING

For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5kg).
We recommend turning the meat over during
cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We
also recommend basting the joint every so often to
prevent it from drying out excessively.

PIZZA

For baking different types and sizes of pizza
and bread. 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 Baking
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.

GRATIN

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a Baking 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.

KEEP WARM

For helping sweet or savoury dough to rise
effectively. To maintain the quality of proving, do not
activate the function if the oven is still hot following
a cooking cycle.

FREASY COOK

All the heating elements and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently
and uniformly throughout the oven. Pre-heating is
not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is
especially recommended for cookingpre-packed
food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only.

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

.

HYDROCLEANING

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 use the function for 35’ at 90°C. Activate the
function when the oven is cold and let it cool down
for 15’ once the cycle ends.

TURN & COOK

This function automatically selects an ideal
temperature and time for baking a wide range of
recipes including meat, fish, pasta, sweets and
vegetables. Activate the function when the oven is
cold.

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,
preferably using the “XL Cooking” function. The oven
must be empty during this time.
Follow the instructions for setting the function
correctly.

Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the
appliance for the rst time.
