Instructions for the user 747.8.3 Programming Cooking time: the 2 nd key can be pressed to set the cooking time. Before it can be set, the thermostat knob must be turned to the required cooking temperature and the function selector knob to any setting. To set the cooking time, proceed as follows: Press key ; the pointer will go to position 12 and the adjacent symbol will flash (Fig. 1). Within 5 seconds press key or to set the cooking time: each pressure on adds 1 minute to the cooking time, and every 12 minutes a new inside segment will light up (figure 2 shows a cooking duration of 1 hour); Once the required time is obtained, cooking will start about 5 seconds after the last pressure on or . represented by the constantly illuminated segments, and the minutes left to the end of the cooking time, represented by the flashing segments (each flashing segment means 12 minutes of cooking time left). At the end of the cooking time the timer will switch the oven heating elements off, the beeps will start to sound and the numbers on the dial will flash. The time can also be reset by deleting the program selected: Press the central key for 2 seconds to cancel the set time and the oven will have to be manually switched off if the cooking operation is in progress.1) 2) it is not possible to set a cooking time of more than 12 hours.
Instructions for the user 75 Cooking start: as well as setting a cooking time, the cooking start time can also be set (with a maximum delay of 12 hours in relation to the current time). To set the cooking start/end time, proceed as follows: Set the cooking time as described in the previous point. Within 5 seconds of last pressing key or , press key again to set the cooking end time.

The display segments will be constantly illuminated as long as the current time is not the same as the cooking start time; as soon as the current time reaches the set starting time, all the inside segments will start to flash, indicating that the oven has started cooking. At the end of the cooking time the timer will switch the oven heating elements off, the buzzer will start to sound and the numbers on the dial will flash. To delete the entire set program, hold down the central key for 2 seconds; if cooking has already started, the oven will have to be switched off manually. Here we can see a programming example: the current time is 7.06 and cooking is programmed to start at 8.00 and end at 9.00. At 8 oclock the inside segments between 8 and 9 will start to flash, while the hours hand will remain still. Warning: for the oven to start cooking after the programming procedures just described, the thermostat and functions switch knob must be correctly set on the required temperature and function. 7.8.4 Display brightness reduction To reduce energy consumption in stand-by, briefly press key to reduce the display brightness.

Instructions for the user 76 8. OVEN FUNCTIONS STATIC: As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck. FAN-ASSISTED STATIC: The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. GRILL: Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows to grill small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any type of grilled vegetable side dishes. FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork). FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM: The combination of the fan with just the bottom heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food. BOTTOM + FAN-ASSISTED CIRCULAR: Fan-assisted cooking is combined with the heat coming from the bottom and allows at the same time to slightly brown food. Perfect for any type of food. CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and same type of cooking operation. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing odours and flavours.
Instructions for the user 77 DEFROSTING: Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of room temperature air inside the oven. ECO: indicates which function gives the least energy consumption. Using the grill and the bottom heating element plus the fan is particularly suitable for heating up food, as it provides low energy consumption. WIDE GRILL: The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. ROTISSERIE GRILL: The rotisserie works in combination with the grill element allowing to perfectly brown food. TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of odours and flavours. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. PYROLYSIS: When this function is set, the oven reaches temperatures of up to 500°C, destroying all the grease which forms on the internal walls.
Instructions for the user 78 8.1 Cooking advice and instructions 8.1.1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting food in. For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at all heights. In general, it is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). While cooking desserts or vegetables, excessive condensation may form on the glass. In order to avoid this, open the door very carefully a couple of times while cooking. 8.1.2 Advice for cooking meat Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. 8.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. Check whether the dessert is cooked right through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked. If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. 8.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. The food must be defrosted without its wrapping. Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping. When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food. The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil. For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of the oven.
Instructions for the user 79 8.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill Using the Grill function (where present), meat can be grilled even when it is put into the cold oven; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the cooking. With the Fan-assisted grill function (where present), however, we recommend that you preheat the oven before grilling. We recommend placing the food at the centre of the rack. 8.2 To save energy To save energy while using the appliance, the following instructions may be followed: Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven. Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal. Use the ECO function (where present) for cooking on a single runner. Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.
