With the appliance cold, remove the cover 
from the bottom and insert the pizza plate. 
Make sure that the plate is inserted 
correctly in the recess provided.
For cooking use the special pizza function 
.
Pizza spatula (on some models only)
Always grip the pizza spatula by the 
handle when moving food to avoid the risk 
of burns. 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.3.4 Using the oven
Switching on the oven
1. Press the function knob to turn on the 
display.
2. Turn the function knob to the right or left

stage, which allows the appliance to heat 
to the cooking temperature more quickly. 
The   light flashes to indicate that this 
stage is in progress.
When the preheating stage is over, the   
light will remain lit steadily and a buzzer will 
sound to indicate that the food can be 
placed inside the oven.

List of cooking functions
Eco (on some models only)
The combination of the grill and the 
lower heating element, in ECO 
mode, is particularly indicated for 
cooking on a single shelf, with 
reduced power consumption.
Eco (on some models only)
The combination of the fan and the 
circulaire heating element, in ECO 
mode, is particularly indicated for 
cooking on a single shelf, with 
reduced power 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 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.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill 
element gives perfect grilling results 
above all for thin and medium 
thickness meat and, in combination 
with the rotisserie (where fitted), 
gives the food an even browning at 
the end of cooking. Perfect for 
sausages, spare ribs and bacon. 
This function enables large 
quantities of food, particularly meat, 
to be grilled evenly.
Lower element (on some models 
only)
The heat coming just from the 
bottom allows you to complete the 
cooking of foods that require a 
higher bottom temperature, without 
affecting their browning. Perfect for 
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined 
with traditional cooking, ensures 
consistent cooking even with 
complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits 
and cakes, even when 
simultaneously cooked on several 
levels. (For multiple-level cooking, 
we recommend using the 2
nd and 
4
th shelves). 
						

							Use
55
EN
Fan with grill
The air produced by the fan softens 
the strong heatwave generated by 
the grill, grilling perfectly even very 
thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of 
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
Fan + lower element (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 
the surface, but not inside, which 
therefore need a little more heat. 
Perfect for any type of food.
In pyrolytic models, the special 
defrost and proving functions are 
brought together under the same 
function.Turbo (on some models only)
The combination of fan assisted 
cooking and traditional cooking 
allows different foods to be cooked 
on several levels extremely quickly 
and efficiently, without odours and 
flavours mingling. Perfect for large 
volumes that call for intense 
cooking. (For multiple-level cooking, 
we recommend using the 1
st and 4th 
shelves).
Circulaire (on some models only)
The combination of the fan and the 
circulaire heating element 
(incorporated in the rear of the 
oven) allows you to cook different 
foods on several levels, as long as 
they need the same temperatures 
and type of cooking. Hot air 
circulation ensures instant and even 
distribution of heat. It will be 
possible, for instance, to cook fish, 
vegetables and biscuits 
simultaneously (on different levels) 
without odours and flavours 
mingling.
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.

3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
•  Use a fan assisted function to achieve 
consistent cooking at several levels.
•  It is not possible to shorten cooking times 
by increasing the temperature (the food 
could be overcooked on the outside and 
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
•  Cooking times vary according to the 
thickness and quality of the food and to 
consumer taste.
•  Use a meat thermometer when roasting 
meat, or simply press on the roast with a 
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it 
needs another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the 
Fan with grill
•  Meat can be grilled even when it is put 
into the cold oven or into the preheated 
oven if you wish to change the effect of 
the cooking.
•  With the Fan with grill function, we 
recommend that you preheat the oven 
before grilling.
•  We recommend placing the food at the 
centre of the rack.
•  With the Grill function, we recommend 
that you set the temperature to the 
maximum value to optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and 
biscuits
•  Use dark metal moulds: They help to 
absorb the heat better.
•  The temperature and the cooking time 
depend on the quality and consistency 
of the dough.•  To 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.
Advice for defrosting and proving
•  Place frozen foods without their 
packaging in a lidless container on the 
first shelf of the oven.
•  Avoid overlapping the food.
•  To defrost meat, use the rack placed on 
the second level and a tray on the first 
level. 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.
To save energy
•  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.
•  Keep the inside of the appliance clean 
at all times.
•  (Where fitted) When it is not being used, 
remove the pizza plate and put the 
cover back in its slot.
