Programmed cooking modes which have not yet started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode has been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a blackout occurs. When the power supply is restored, the mode will have to be reprogrammed).

! There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door, as well as towards the bottom of the oven door.

! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Oven light

The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when a cooking mode starts.

When models featuring LED INSIDE technology begin cooking, the LEDs on the door light up for improved illumination of all cooking levels.

The button can be used to switch on the light at any time.

Residual heat indicators

The appliance is fitted with a residual heat indicator.

When the oven is off, the “residual heat” bar on the display lights up to indicate high temperatures inside the oven cavity. The individual segments of the bar switch off one by one as the temperature inside the oven falls.

Modes

! In order to guarantee wonderfully soft and crunchy foodstuffs, the oven releases – in the form of water vapour - the humidity naturally withheld in the food itself. In this way, optimal cooking results can be achieved for all types of food.

! Every time the oven is switched on, it suggests the first manual cooking mode.

Manual cooking modes

! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C as desired.

In the GRILL mode, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually. Any temperature adjustments will be stored in the appliance memory and suggested again the next time this mode is used. If the selected temperature is lower than the temperature inside the oven, the text “Hot” appears on the

TEMPERATURE display. However, it will still be possible to start cooking.

MULTILEVEL mode

All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

GRILL mode

By pressing the button, the different power levels which may be set will appear on the display; these range between 50% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed (see “Practical cooking advice”).

FAN GRILLING mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit

(where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating element is also activated. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.

Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed

(see “Practical cooking advice”).

LOW TEMPERATURE modes

This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65 and 90 °C.

PIZZA mode

The top and circular heating elements switch on and the fan begins to operate. This combination heats the oven rapidly. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise).

ECO mode

The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven.This

energy saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for heating foods and finishing off cooking.

Rotisserie spit*

To operate the rotisserie function ( see diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2. Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Start the rotisserie function by selecting the or modes.

! When mode is on, the rotisserie will stop if the door is opened.

Automatic cooking modes

! The temperature and cooking duration are pre- set guaranteeing a perfect result every time

- automatically. These values are set using the

C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking system.

The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven * Only available in certain models.

GB indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start cooking whether the oven has been preheated or not . The cooking duration can be customised according to personal tastes, modifying it by ±5/20 minutes depending on the selected programme. If the value is modified before cooking begins, it is stored in the appliance memory and suggested again when that cooking mode is next used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected mode, the text

“Hot” appears on the TEMPERATURE display and it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.

! When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.

! Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking time and temperature.

BEEF mode

Use this function to cook beef, pork and lamb. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

FISH FILLETS mode

This function is ideal for cooking small-medium fillets. Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.

BREAD mode

Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below:

• follow the recipe;

• do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan;

• remember to pour 100 ml of cold water into the baking tray in position 5 .

• The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1 ½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or until the dough has doubled in size.

Recipe for BREAD:

1 Dripping pan holding 1000 g Max, lower level

2 Dripping pans each holding 1000 g Max, medium and lower levels

Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water,

11g salt, 25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast)

Method:

• Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.

• Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately

35 degrees).

• Make a small well in the mound of flour.

• Pour in the water and yeast mixture.

• Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky.

• Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Select the manual LOW

TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour

(the dough should double in volume).

• Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.

• Place them in the dripping pan, on a sheet of baking paper.

• Dust the loaves with flour.

• Make incisions on the loaves.

• Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.

• Start the BREAD cooking mode.

• Once baked, leave the loaves on one of the grill racks until they have cooled completely.

BAKED CAKES mode

This function is ideal for cooking desserts which are made using natural yeast, baking powder and desserts which contain no yeast. Place the dish in the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

TARTS mode

This function is ideal for all tart recipes (which normally need to be heated well from underneath).

Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.

The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

• For example: it is 9:00 a.m. and a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is programmed, while the end time is set to 12:30. The programme will start automatically at 11:15 a.m.

To cancel programming press the button.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fanassisted cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

! In the GRILL and FAN GRILLING cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues

(fat and/or grease).

MULTILEVEL

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.

• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

GRILL

• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that the temperature is set to its maximum level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA

• Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as this extends the total cooking duration and prevents the crust from forming.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese to the top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

Any other use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room) constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The manufacturer may not be held responsible for any damage caused as a result of improper, incorrect and unreasonable use of the appliance.

• Do not touch the heating elements or certain parts of the oven door when the appliance is in use; these parts become extremely hot. Keep children well away from the appliance.

• Make sure that the power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the oven.

• The ventilation and heat dispersal openings must never be obstructed.

• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends may be hot.

• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the oven or when removing it.

• Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.

• Do not place flammable materials in the oven: if the appliance is switched on accidentally, the materials could catch fire.

• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.

• Do not perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.

• If the event of malfunctions, under no circumstances should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself. Contact an authorised Service

Centre ( see Assistance).

• Do not rest objects on the open oven door.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• The appliance should not be operated by people

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product.

These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the relevant public service or their local dealer.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning. The cooking mode programming options, the “delayed cooking” mode ( see Cooking modes) and “delayed automatic cleaning” mode ( see Care and

Maintenance) in particular, enable the user to organise their time efficiently.

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the

GRILL and FAN GRILLING modes: this will achieve improved results while saving energy

(approximately 10%).

• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding the dispersal of heat.

! This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

• Slight differences in colour on the front of the oven are due to the different materials used, i.e. glass, plastic or metal.

• Any shady areas resembling grooves on the oven door glass are caused by reflections from the oven light.

• The enamel is branded at very high temperatures.

This process may cause colour variations. This is normal and will not affect appliance operation in any way. The thin edges of the sheet metal cannot be entirely enamelled and may therefore appear to be unfinished. This will not affect the rust protection.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.

• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

• All accessories - with the exception of the sliding racks - can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

• We recommend that detergents are not sprayed directly onto the control panel, but that a sponge is used instead.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

Cleaning the oven door

! The door of LED INSIDE models cannot be removed.

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

For more thorough cleaning purposes, the oven door may be removed:

1. Open the oven door fully ( see diagram).

2. Use a screwdriver to lift up and turn the small levers F located on the two hinges ( see diagram).

F

3. Grip the door on the two outer sides and close it approximately half way. Pull the door towards you, lifting it out of its slot ( see diagram).

To replace the door, reverse this sequence.

Inspecting the seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest

Service Centre ( see Assistance). We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the oven light bulb:

Lamp Holder compartment

1. Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.

2. Remove the

Lamp light bulb and replace it with a similar one: halogen lamp

Glass cover voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap G 9.

3. Replace the glass cover ( see diagram).

! Do not touch the light bulb directly with your hands.

B and then joint C on the frame.

3. Secure the two frames with the guide rails using the holes

D provided on the oven walls ( see diagram).

The holes for the left frame are situated at the top, while the holes for the right frame are at the bottom.

4. Finally, fit the frames on the spacers A.

! Do not place the sliding racks in position 5.

Side and rear catalytic liners*

These are panels coated with a special enamel, which is able to absorb the fat released by food as it cooks.

This enamel is quite strong, so that the various accessories (racks, dripping pans, etc.) can slide along them without damaging them. White marks may appear on the surfaces; these are not a cause for concern.

Nevertheless, the following should be avoided:

- scraping the enamel with sharp objects (a knife, for example);

- using detergents or abrasive materials.

* Only available in certain models.
