* Tested in accordance with the CENELEC EN 60350-1 used for definition of energy class.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE
contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be
re-used). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover
and recycle all materials.
Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic
rules:
• WEEE shall not be treated as household waste.
• WEEE shall be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries,
for large WEEE, home collection could be present.
• When you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the
equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.
ENERGY SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as infrequently as possible, because heat from the cavity
disperses every time it is opened. For a significant energy saving, switch off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the planned end of the cooking
time, and use the residual heat that the oven continues to generate. Keep the seals clean and in order, to avoid any heat dispersal outside of the cavity. If
you have an electric contract with an hourly tariff, the "delayed cooking" programme makes energy saving more simple, moving the cooking process to
start at the reduced tariff time slot.
Thermostat
dial
Turns on the oven light
This will automatically activate the cooling fan (on fan cooled models only)
Defrosting
When the dial is set to this position. The fan circulates air at room temperature around
the, frozen food so that it defrosts in a few minutes without the protein content of the
food being changed or altered
Natural convection
Bottom and top oven elements are used. This is the traditional form of baking and
50 ÷ MAX
roasting. It is ideal for roasting joints of meat and game, baking biscuits and apples and
making the food nice and crunchy.
Fan cooking
Both top and bottom heating elements are used with the fan circulating the air inside
the oven. We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables.
Heat penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and preheating times are
50 ÷ MAX
reduced. You can cook different foods at the same time with or without the same
preparation in one or more positions. This cooking method gives even heat distribution
and the smells are not mixed. Allow about ten minutes extra when cooking foods at the
same time.
Fan plus lower element
50 ÷ MAX
This function is ideal for delicate dishes (pies-souffle).
GRILL: use the grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used alone and you can adjust the temperature. Five
minutes preheating is required to get the elements red-hot. Success is guaranteed for
50 ÷ MAX
grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. White meats should be put at a distance from the grill;
the cooking time is longer, but the meat will be tastier. You can put red meats and fish
fillets on the shelf with the drip tray underneath.
FAN ASSISTED GRILL (a): use the turbo-grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven.
Preheating is necessary for red meats but not for white meats. Ideal for cooking thick
food items, whole pieces such as roast pork, poultry, etc. Place the food to be grilled
50 ÷ 200
directly on the shelf centrally, at the middle level. Slide the drip tray under the shelf to
collect the juices. Make sure that the food is not too close to the grill. Turn the food over
halfway through cooking.
Grill/spit element.
50 ÷ 200
This is used for roasting on the spit.
Function Pizza
This function with hot air circulated in the oven ensure perfect result for
50 ÷ MAX
dishes such as pizza or focaccia.
