Instructions for disposal
3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Our environmental responsibility
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to
the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse. The crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the
product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective
collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the
retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the
decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible
disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment
and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the
appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the
application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities that may be considered a
danger to health or the environment, in compliance with current European
directives.
72
3.2 Your environmental responsibility
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, which are therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of electrical appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

75
Instructions for the user
5.1 Using the rack or tray
The racks and trays are equipped with a
mechanical safety lock which prevents them
from being taken out accidentally. To insert the
rack or tray correctly, check that the lock is
facing downwards (as shown in the figure at the
side).
To remove the rack or tray, lift the front slightly.
The mechanical lock must always face the
back of the oven.
Insert racks and trays fully into the oven until they come to a stop.
5.2 Using the support rack
The support rack is inserted into the tray (as
shown in the figure).
Using this, foods can be cooked and the fat can
be collected separately from the food which is
being cooked.
76
5.3 Using the handles
The handles are used to extract hot trays and
racks from the oven.
Use the accessories as shown in the figures at
the side.
Instructions for the user
5.4 Using the rotisserie rod (on some models only)
When cooking with the rotisserie, position the
frame on the third runner (see 6.2.1 Oven
runners). Once the frame is inserted, the
shaped part must sit facing outwards (as shown
in the figure).
Then prepare the rotisserie rod with the food,
using the clip forks provided.
So that you can handle the rod with the food on
it readily, screw on the handle provided.
Having prepared the rotisserie rod with the
food, position it on the guide frame as shown in
the figure.
Insert the rod into the hole (detail B) so that it
connects with the rotisserie motor.
Make sure that the pin is placed correctly on
the guide frame (detail A).
77
Instructions for the user
5.5 Using the pizza plate (on some models only)
With the oven cold, remove the circular cover
from the bottom (as shown in the figure) and
insert the pizza plate.
Make sure that the plate is inserted correctly in
the recess provided.
To cook, follow recipe usage instructions (see
6.11 Selecting a recipe).
Do not use the pizza plate other than as described, for example do not use it on
gas or glass-ceramic hobs or in ovens which are not designed for this purpose.
If you wish to add oil to your pizza, it is best to add it after removing it from the
oven since oil stains on the pizza plate are unsightly and may reduce its
efficiency.
In models where it is provided, if the pizza plate is not in use, cover the bottom
of the oven with the cover provided.
78
5.6 Using the pizza spatula (on some models only)
Always grip the pizza spatula on the wooden or
plastic handle to put food in and take it out of
the oven.
You are advised to dust the steel surface
lightly with flour to make it easier to slide fresh
products on and off, as they could stick to the
steel due to their moisture content.
Instructions for the user
6. USING THE OVEN
6.1 Before using the appliance
• Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate) from trays, dripping
pans and the cooking compartment.
• Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance,
including from accessories such as trays, dripping pans, the pizza plate or
the base cover.
• Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all accessories from the
oven compartment and wash them as indicated in “8. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE”.
Heat the empty appliance to the maximum temperature in order to remove
any manufacturing residues which could affect the food with unpleasant odours.
6.2 General Description
6.2.1 Oven runners
The oven features 5 runners for positioning trays
and racks at different heights. The insertion heights
are numbered from the bottom upwards (see figure).
(When using the recipes, the display will show the
recommended runner for the selected recipe.)
6.2.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system
which comes into operation as soon as a cooking
function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of
air from above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the oven has been
turned off.
79
Instructions for the user

(ON/OFF knob)
6.3 Warnings and general advice for usage
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil
and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere
with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
For the best cooking results, we recommend
placing cookware in the centre of the rack.
80
Instructions for the user
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing
problems, open the door in two stages: half
open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then
fully open. If you need to access the food,
always leave the door open for as short a time
as possible to prevent the temperature in the
oven from falling and ruining the food.
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal
glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.
