4.1  Warnings and general advice 
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum 
temperature ( 250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily 
residues which could give the food a bad taste. 
In the models featuring an electronic programmer, a power failure causes 
the display to start flashing at regular intervals and the 
 symbol to 
appear. To re-adjust, see 3.2 Electronic programmer . 
 
 During cooking, do not cover the bo ttom 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.  
 
  To prevent any steam in the oven creating 
problems, open the door in two stages: half open 
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully 
open. To access food, always leave the door 
open as short a time as possible to prevent the 
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining 
the food. 
 4.2 Cooling system (certain models only) 
The oven is equipped with a cooling system 
which automatically comes on when the oven is  
turned on. 
Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which 
exits at the bottom part of the oven front which 
may continue for a brief period of time even after 
the oven has been turned off. 
 4.3  Oven light 
To turn on the oven light in mode ls with static oven, rotate the 
temperature knob clockwise to the first setting aligned with the lamp 
symbol (
). The light will remain on thro ughout entire cooking operation. 
In the multifunction models, the in side oven light may be turned on by 
simultaneously rotating the function selector knob and the timer knob. 
When the oven is not working, the light comes on by simply opening the 
door.

6. COOKING HINTS  
 
 In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above 
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and 
reduces power consumption, as well  as giving better cooking results.  
 
 Keep the oven door closed during cooking  
 
6.1 Traditional cooking (multifunction models)   
          FUNCTION SWITCH 
 
   THERMOSTAT SWITCH  
 
50  ÷ 250°C   
 
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and 
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-
heat the oven until the set temperature  is reached. Place the food in the 
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has  turned off. very fatty 
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in 
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need 
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time 
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.  
6.2 Fan cooking (multifunction models)  
          FUNCTION SWITCH 
 
       THERMOSTAT SWITCH  
 
50  ÷ 250°C  
 
This system is suitable for cooking on  several levels, including different 
types of food (fish, meat  etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air 
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. 
 
  
 Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the 
different foods is the same.

Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the 
highest position. When cooking small items for a short time the pan 
should be in the highest position. Fo r larger items requiring longer 
cooking times, the pan should be lowered to avoid food being burned on 
top before being throughly cooked.  
Grill function must be used only with the door closed.  
 
 Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of operation.

   THERMOSTAT SWITCH  
 
50  ÷ 250°C   
 
Ideal for pastries and cakes with a liquid surface and little sugar and 
moist desserts in moulds. Excellent results can also be achieved in 
completing cooking at the base and with dishes requiring heat in the 
lower area in particular. The pan is best inserted in the lowest position. 
 
6.6  Defrosting (multi function models)   
          FUNCTION SWITCH

The flow of air produced by th e fan ensures quicker defrosting. 
The air circulating inside the ov en is at room temperature. 
  
  
 The advantage of defrosting at room te mperature is that it does not alter 
the taste and appearance of the food.
