7.2.2 Cooling system
The appliance is equipped with a cooling system
which comes into operation as soon as a cooking
function starts. The fan causes a steady outflow of
air from above the door which may continue for a
brief period of time even after the oven has been
turned off.
7.2.3 Oven inside lights
The oven lights come on when the door is opened (only on some models) or any

7.3 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.

8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
ECO (on some models only): 
Using the grill and the bottom heating element plus the fan is
particularly suitable for cooking small quantities of food, as it
provides low energy consumption.
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...

Instructions for the user
60FAN-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 (on some models only):
The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element
allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is
recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of
foods which are already well-cooked on...

Instructions for the user
61 PIZZA (on some models only):
The operation of the fan, combined with the grill and the lower
heating element, ensures uniform cooking even with complex
recipes. Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for biscuits and
cakes.

628.1.4 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.
