WARNING
CLEANING
- Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
- Clean the oven only when it is cool.
- Disconnect power before servicing.
Oven exterior
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products unintentionally comes into contact with the appliance, clean
immediately with a damp Microbre cloth.
• Clean the surfaces with a damp Microbre cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Finish o with a dry cloth.
Oven interior
IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers. Over time, these can ruin enamelled surfaces and the oven door glass.
• After every use, allow the oven to cool then clean it preferably while it is still warm in order to remove built-up dirt and stains caused by food residues (e.g.
food with a high sugar content).
• Use proprietary oven detergents and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter.
• Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent. The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning (see MAINTENANCE).
• The top heating element of the grill (see MAINTENANCE) can be lowered (some models only) to clean the roof of the oven.
N.B.: during prolonged cooking of foods with a high water content (e.g. pizza, vegetables, etc.) condensation may form on the inside of the door
and around the seal. When the oven is cold, dry the inside of the door with a cloth or sponge.
Accessories:
• Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use, handling them with oven gloves if still hot.
• Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.
Cleaning the rear wall and catalytic side panels of the oven (if present):
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, coarse brushes, pot scourers or oven sprays which could damage the catalytic surface and
ruin its self-cleaning properties.
• Operate the oven empty with the fan-assisted function at 200°C for about one hour
• Next, leave the appliance to cool down before removing any food residue with a sponge.
Cleaning cycle of ovens with pyrolysis function (if present):
- Do not touch the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
- Keep children away from the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
This function burns o spatters produced inside the oven during cooking at a temperature of approx. 500°C. At this high temperature, the deposits turn into a light
ash which can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth, when the oven is cool. Do not select the pyrolysis function after every use, only when the oven is very dirty or
produces smoke or fumes while preheating or cooking.
• If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all burners or electric hotplates are switched o during the self-cleaning (pyrolysis) function.
• Remove all accessories before running the pyrolysis function.
The appliance is equipped with 2 pyrolysis functions:
1. Energy-saving cycle (PYRO EXPRESS/ECO): which consumes approximately 25% less energy than the standard cycle. Select it at regular intervals (after cooking
meat on 2 or 3 consecutive occasions).
2. Standard cycle (PYRO): which is suitable for cleaning a very dirty oven.
• In any case, after a certain number of uses and depending on how dirty the oven is, a message on the oven display advises you to run a self-cleaning cycle.
N.B.: during the pyrolysis function, the oven door will not open; it will remain locked until the temperature inside the oven has returned to an
acceptably safe level.

RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS
* Cooking time is approximate. Food can be removed from the oven at dierent times depending on personal preference.
Cooking times may be longer, depending on the dish.
N.B.: the cooking function symbols can be slightly dierent from the drawing.
N.B.: cooking times and temperatures are approximate for 4 portions.
How to read the cooking table
The table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time. Cooking times start from the moment food is
placed in the oven, excluding pre-heating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and
type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories
supplied and preferably dark coloured metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in pyrex or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking
times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied) to be placed on the
various shelves.
Cooking dierent foods at the same time
Using the “CONVECTION BAKE” function, you can cook dierent foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: sh and vege-
tables), using dierent shelves. Switch leveles two-thirds through cooking if necessary. Remove the food which requires less cooking time and leave food which
requires longer cooking time in the oven.
Desserts
- Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark coloured metal cake tins and always position them on the wire shelf supplied.
To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.
- To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges
- If the cake “sinks” during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and mixing more gently.
- For sweets with moist llings (cheesecake or fruit pies) use the “CONVECTION BAKE” function. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the
bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the lling.
Meat
- Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the dish,
basting the meat during cooking for added avour. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil.
- When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer
cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill. Turn the meat
two thirds of the way through cooking.
To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water directly under the grill on which the meat is placed. Top-up when necessary.
Turnspit (only in some models)
Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat on the turnspit rod, tying it with string if chicken, and check that it is secure
before inserting the rod in the seat located on the front wall of the oven and resting it on the respective support. To prevent smoke and to collect cooking juices, it is
advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water on the rst level. The rod has a plastic handle which must be removed before starting to cook, and used at the
end of cooking to avoid burns when taking the food out of the oven.
Pizza
Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two thirds of the way through cooking.
