• diet-related: this type of cooking limits the amount of fatty
GB
substances used and therefore means that the food is
lighter and easier to digest;
• financial: the food shrinks less so there is more of the
product left after it has been cooked.
To use this technique, you must use a vacuum-packing
machine and the appropriate bags. Follow the instructions
supplied relating to vacuum-packing food carefully.
The vacuum-packing technique may also be used for raw
products (fruit, vegetables, etc.) as well as pre-cooked
products (traditional cooking).
DEFROSTNG mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-
temperature air around the food. This mode is suitable for
defrosting any type of food, especially delicate items that
should not be heated, for example: ice-cream cakes or
cakes made with custard, cream or fruit.
ECO mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on,
thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and
uniform manner throughout the entire oven.This energy
saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for
heating foods and finishing off cooking.

Automatic cooking modes
! The temperature and cooking duration are pre-set,
guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. These
values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal
Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and
the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start
cooking whether the oven has been preheated or not. The
cooking duration can be customised according to personal
taste by modifying the relevant value - before cooking begins
- by ±5/20 minutes depending on the selected programme.
The duration can however be modified even once cooking has
begun. If the value is modified before the programme begins, it
is stored in the memory and suggested again by the appliance
when the programme is next used. If the temperature inside
the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected
mode, the text "OVEN TOO HOT" appears on the display and
it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.

BREAD mode
Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we
recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below:
• Follow the recipe.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan.
• Remember to pour 50g (0,5 dl) of cold water into the
baking tray in position 5.
• The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1
½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or until the
dough has doubled in size.
Recipe for BREAD:
1 dripping pan holding 1000 g max, lower level
2 dripping pans each holding 1000 g max, medium and
lower levels
Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g salt,
25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast)
Method:
• Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35
degrees).
• Make a small well in the mound of flour.
• Pour in the water and yeast mixture.
• Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with
the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform
consistency and is not too sticky.
• Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and
cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface
of the dough from drying out. Select the manual PROVING
function on the oven. Place the bowl inside and leave
the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough
should double in volume).
• Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.
• Place them in the dripping pan, on a sheet of baking
paper.
• Dust the loaves with flour.
• Make incisions on the loaves.
• Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
• Start the
BREAD cooking mode.
• Once baked, leave the loaves on one of the grill racks
until they have cooled completely.
BEEF/VEAL/LAMB mode
Use this function to cook beef, veal and lamb. Place the
food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also
be placed in a preheated oven. Some of the ROAST modes
