Starting the oven
1. Fit the DIVIDER to the DIVIDER shelf "D" using the pin,
with the arrows turned towards the rear part of the oven. A
buzzer will sound to confirm that the DIVIDER has been fitted
correctly; it will then be possible to use the two Main and
Small Space compartments separately or at the same time.
! The EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob will be disabled.
! In order to improve the energy efficiency of the oven , the
preheating time of the SMALL SPACE cavity lasts about
15 minutes.
! If the MAIN SPACE is set to a temperature below 175°C,
in order to safeguard the cooking results, the grill function
will not start: the text "OFF" will appear on the display.
2. Select the desired cooking function for each cavity by
turning the SMALL SPACE FUNCTION and/or MAIN SPACE
FUNCTION knobs. The
Space has been selected and that it is therefore possible to
adjust the Small Space settings; the
display indicates that the Main Space has been selected and
that it is therefore possible to adjust the Main Space settings.
3. Both ovens will begin the preheating stage. The temperature
may be changed by turning the TEMPERATURE knob. The
indicator light flashes during the preheating stage.

may now be placed inside the oven.
5. The digits on the display become brighter to indicate which
cavity you are adjusting. To modify the settings for the other
cavity, press the button. The Small Space and Main Space
settings may actually be changed during simultaneous cooking:

FUNCTION and/or MAIN SPACE FUNCTION knob;
- change the temperature by turning the TEMPERATURE knob;
- set the cooking duration and the cooking end time;
- stop cooking by turning the SMALL SPACE FUNCTION
and/or MAIN SPACE FUNCTION knob to the "0" position.
6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation,
an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the
cooking function from the point at which it was interrupted, as
long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level.
The clock and programmed cooking modes which have not
yet started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed.

Practical cooking advice

MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 1, 3, 5 and 6.
• Place the dripping pan at the bottom and the rack at the
top.
BARBECUE
• Preheat the oven for 5 minutes.
• Keep the oven door closed when cooking in this mode.
• Place the dripping pan on shelf level 3. Place the rack
in a position between 4 and 7, depending on how bulky
the food is, and make sure the food is in the centre of
the rack. Examples: beef ribs should be cooked on shelf
level 4 and bacon on shelf level 6 or 7.
PIZZA or FOCACCIA
• Use a light aluminium tray with a maximum diameter of
30 cm, placing it on top of the rack supplied.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway
through the cooking process.
