7.1 Cooking advice and instructions
7.1.1 General advice
We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not put
food into the compartment until the warning light has switched off to indicate that
the preset temperature has been reached or until the display is flashing.
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 the 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.
7.1.2 Advice for cooking meat
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality
of the food and to consumers 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.
7.1.3 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 all the way 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.

7.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving
We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner
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.
7.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill
Using the Grill function  , meat can be grilled even when it is put into the
oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the
cooking.
With the Fan-assisted grill function  , however, we recommend that you
preheat the oven before grilling.
7.2 To save energy
To save energy during use of 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 (on some models only) for cooking on a single runner.
 Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer
Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
8.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after
use. Let it cool first.
8.2 Ordinary daily cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific
products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
8.3 Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the
surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre
cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the
oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of
the oven.
8.4 Cleaning the door glazing
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent
kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary
detergent.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the door glazing (e.g. 
powder products, stain removers and metal scouring pads).
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the 
ovens glass doors since they may scratch the surface.

8.5 Cleaning the inside of the oven
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool. 
 Take out all removable parts.
 Clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and
dry.
 For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “9.2 Removing the
door”).
The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes
after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.
When the operation is complete, damp parts should be dried thoroughly.
8.5.1 Removing guide frames
Removing the guide frames makes it
easier to clean the side parts, and it
also needs to be done whenever the
automatic cleaning cycle is used (only
available on some models).
 To remove the guide frames, pull
the frame towards the inside of the
oven to unhook it from its housing
A, then slide it out of the seats at
the back B.
 When cleaning is complete, repeat
the above procedures to put the
guide frames back in.

8.6 Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning (on some models only)
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes
dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the
oven very easily.
During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant smells may occur due to the
normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely
normal phenomenon which disappears after the first cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door locking device makes it impossible to open the
door.
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE
BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC
CLEANING CYCLE. 
						

							Instructions for the User
31 8.6.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to benefit
from the lower cost of electricity overnight).
 Completely remove all accessories
from inside the oven and the roof
lining, as shown in the illustration.
 Remove the guide frames, see
“8.5.1 Removing guide frames”.
 At the end of the cleaning cycle,
when the oven has cooled down,
reinsert the frames by repeating the
previously used procedure in
reverse order.
 Make sure that the oven door is
firmly closed.
In order not to damage the internal glass panel, it should be cleaned in
accordance with the usual procedure (see 8.5 Pulizia dei vetri porta) before
starting the automatic cleaning cycle. 
For very stubborn encrustations, lock the door using the pins provided and
remove the glass panel. Spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass (read
the warnings on the product); leave for 60 minutes, then rinse and dry the glass
using kitchen roll or a microfiber cloth. After carrying out these operations,
position the glass panel on the door again and remove the pins locking it.
Refer to the following diagram for setting the cleaning cycle duration:

DURATION
LIGHT DIRTMEDIUM DIRTHEAVY DIRT
90 MIN. 135 MIN. 180 MIN.
During the automatic cleaning cycle, the fans produce a more intense level of
noise due to a greater rotation speed; this is entirely normal and intended to
facilitate heat dissipation.
At the end of pyrolysis, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid
overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven.
