The other accessories, such as the baking tray, are inserted horizontally by sliding them along the shelf guides.
FUNCTIONS
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.
PASTRY
To bake cakes with liquid filling (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 - 5 min. During cooking the oven door must remain closed. When cooking meat, pour a little water into the drip tray (on the first level) to reduce smoke and fat spatters. Ideally the meat should be turned during cooking.
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 first 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.
BOTTOM
This function can be used to finish cooking filled pies or to thicken soups. Use this function for the last 10/15 minutes of cooking.
CONVECTION BAKE
To cook (without preheating) foods that require the same cooking temperature on one or more levels (e.g: fish, vegetables, sweets), without transferring odours from one foodstuff to the other.
PIZZA
Function for baking homemade pizzas. Use the
2nd shelf. Preheat the oven, turning the temperature knob to the icon “pizza”; insert the food when the set temperature is reached.
EN
USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
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 “Convection Bake” 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 first time.
DAILY USE
1.
SELECT A FUNCTION
To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require.
2.
ACTIVATE A FUNCTION
To start the function you have selected, turn the thermostat knob to set the temperature you require.
To interrupt the function at any time, switch off the oven, turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to and .
3.
PREHEATING
Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signalling that the preheating process has begun.
At the end of this process, the LED thermostat switches off indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: at this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking.
Please note: Placing the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result.
. COOKING TIME SELECTOR
This selector can be used to set a cooking time of between 1 and 120 minutes. To set cooking time, after selecting the required cooking function, turn the knob right round in a clockwise direction and then turn it back in the opposite direction to the desired cooking duration. At the end of the set cooking time the oven switches off and the selector remains positioned at “ ”. To use the oven in manual mode, i.e. without setting a cooking time, be sure that the programme selector is turned to the symbol .
IMPORTANT: when the selector is positioned at “ ” the oven will not switch on. To switch the oven on, set the selector to the symbol or set a cooking time.

USEFUL TIPS
HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.
COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
The “Convection Bake” (if present) function enables you to cook different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on different shelves at the same time.
Switch shelves two-thirds of the way through cooking, if necessary.
Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a 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.
7
• For sweets with moist fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies) use the “CONVECTION BAKE” function
(if present). 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 filling.
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 pan, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. 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 avoid 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. Top-up when necessary.
Turnspit (only in some models)
Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat on the spit 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 avoid smoke and to collect cooking juices, it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water on the first 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
The oven does not work.
Possible cause
Power cut.
Disconnection from the mains.
Solution
Check for the presence of mains electrical power and whether the oven is connected to the electricity supply.
Turn off the oven and restart it to see if the fault persists.
