(ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

INSERTING THE WIRE SHELF AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

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.

The number of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased. Other accessories can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES

. To remove the shelf guides, lift the guides up and then gently pull the lower part out of its seating: The shelf guides can now be removed.

. To refit the shelf guides, first fit them back into their upper seating. Keeping them held up, slide them into the cooking compartment, then lower them into position in the lower seating.

SLIDING RUNNERS

(ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

FITTING THE SLIDING RUNNERS

Remove the shelf guides from the oven and remove the protective plastic from the sliding runners.

Fasten the upper clip of the runner to the shelf guide and slide it along as far as it will go. Lower the other clip into position.

To secure the guide, press the lower portion of the clip firmly against the shelf guide. Make sure that the runners can move freely. Repeat these steps on the other shelf guide on the same level.

Please note: The sliding runners can be tted on any level.

FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

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 tray on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.

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.

CONVECTION BAKE

For cooking meat, baking cakes with fillings or roasting stuffed vegetables on one shelf only. This function uses gentle, intermittent air circulation to prevent food from drying out excessively.

6TH SENSE FUNCTIONS

CASSEROLE

This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method for pasta dishes.

MEAT

This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method for meat. This function intermittently activates the fan at low speed to prevent the food from drying out too much.

MAXI COOKING

The function automatically selects the best cooking mode and temperature to cook large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). It is advisable to turn the meat over during cooking, to obtain even browning on both sides. It is best to baste the meat every now and again to prevent it from drying out.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

FAST PREHEATING

For preheating the oven quickly. Once preheating has finished, the oven will select the “Conventional” function automatically. Wait for preheating to finish before placing food in the oven.

TURBO GRILL

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 500 ml of drinking water. The turnspit (if provided) can be used with this function.

ECO FORCED AIR*

For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets of meat 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. To use the ECO cycle and therefore optimise power consumption, the oven door should not be opened until the food is completely cooked.

KEEP WARM

For keeping just-cooked food hot and crisp.

RISING

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

AUTOMATIC CLEANING - PYRO

For eliminating cooking spatters using a cycle at very high temperature (approx. 500 °C). Two selfcleaning cycles are available: A complete cycle (PYRO) and a shorter cycle (ECO). We recommend using the quicker cycle at regular intervals and the complete cycle only when the oven is heavily soiled.

BREAD

This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method for all types of bread.

PIZZA

This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method for all types of pizza.

PASTRY CAKES

This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method for all types of cake.

to confirm.

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 200 °C for around one hour, ideally using a function with air circulation (e.g. “Forced Air” or “Convection Bake”). 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.
