automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently.
How to Keep Your Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
·
the enameled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them ;Stainless steel could get stained .If these stains are
difficult to remove, use special products available on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly
and dry.
·
the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use ,when it is still warm ,with hot water
and soap ;The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents (for
example cleaning powders, etc) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as lime scale –remover, etc…)
as these could damage the enamel .If the grease spots and dirt are particularly tough to remove, use a special
product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided on the packet. Never use a steam cleaner for
cleaning inside of oven.
·
if you use your oven for an extended period of time ,condensation may form .Dry it using a soft cloth.
·
there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning .Check the
condition of this seal on a regular basis .If necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects to do
so. Should it become damaged, please contacts you’re nearest After-sales Service Center .We recommend you
avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.
·
never line the oven bottom with aluminum foil ,as the consequent accumulation of heat could compromise the
cooking and even damage the enamel .

Practical Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.
With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are
only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case when cooking leavened foods ),the“
Multi-Cooking
”
mode and the
“Fast cooking”
mode can be used to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible in order
to save on energy .
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode can then be selected.
Cooking on More Than One Rack
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either the“
baking
”mode or the“
Multi-Cooking
”mode
,
as
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use the“
baking
”mode, which allows you to cook on 3 racks
at the same time(the 1st 3rd and 5th from the bottom).Some examples are included in the“Practical Cooking
Advice”table.
When cooking other food on several racks, use the“
Multi-Cooking
”mode keeping the following suggestions in
mind:
·
The oven is fitted with 5 racks .During fan assisted cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest and
highest racks receive the hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these racks.
·
As a general rule ,use the 2nd and 4th rack from the bottom ,placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat
on the 2nd rack from the bottom .For example, when cooking meat roasts together with other food, place the
roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.
·
When cooking foodstuffs that require differing times and temperatures ,set a temperature that is somewhere
between the two temperatures required ,place the more delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take
the food requiring less time out of the oven first .
·
Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on the upper ;
Using the
“
Fast Cooking
”
Mode
Functional,fast and practical for those of you who use pre-packed products (such as for example:frozen or
pre-cooked food) along with other food items.You will find useful suggestions in the“Practical Cooking
Advice”table.
Using the Grill
This multi-function oven offers you
2 different grilling modes.
Use the
“grill ”
mode
,
placing the food under the center of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form the
bottom )because only the central part of the top heating element is turned on .
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and /or grease
and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bottom. When using this mode, we recommend you set the
thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by
adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Setting “
fan assisted grill
”, is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly ,as the distribution of heat makes it
possible not only to brown the surface ,but also to cook the bottom part .
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin
finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table ) then ,to
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming ,place a
dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
When using this mode ,we advise you to set the thermostat to 200
℃
,as it is the most efficient way to use the
grill ,which is based on the use of infrared rays .However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures,
simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes ,always place them in a preheated oven .Make sure you wait until the oven has been
preheated thoroughly (the end light “
E
”will turn off ).Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake
from dropping .In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10
℃
and reduce the cooking time .
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10
℃
.
