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 illustration
on the right).
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 illustration).
Using this, foods can be cooked and the fat can
be collected separately from the food which is
being cooked.
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
illustrations.

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 illustration).
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 illustration.
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).

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 illustration)
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.
5.6 Using the pizza spatula (on some models only)
Always grip the pizza spatula on the wooden
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.

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

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
illustration).
(When using the recipes, the display will show the
recommended runner for the selected recipe).
6.2.2 Cooling system

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.

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.
