! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate
until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when a cooking mode
starts. When models featuring LED INSIDE technology begin cooking, the
LEDs on the door light up for improved illumination of all cooking levels.
The
icon can be used to switch on the light at any time.
Residual heat indicators
The appliance is fitted with a residual heat indicator. When the oven is off,
the “residual heat” bar on the display lights up to indicate high temperatures
inside the oven cavity. The individual segments of the bar switch off one by
one as the temperature inside the oven falls.
Restoring the factory settings
The oven factory settings can be restored to reset all selections made by
the user (clock and customised durations). To carry out a reset, switch off
the oven, then keep the SELECTOR knob turned while pressing the
icon for 6 seconds. Once the restore procedure is complete, a buzzer will
sound. The first time the icon is pressed, the oven will behave as if it
is being switched on for the first time.
Standby
This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive
on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. If no buttons are
pressed for 30 minutes and the control panel/door lock has not been activated,
the appliance automatically reverts to standby mode. The standby mode is
visualised by the high luminosity “Watch Icon”. As soon as interaction with
the machine resumes, the system’s operating mode is restored.
Modes
!
In order to guarantee wonderfully soft and crunchy foodstuffs, the oven
releases – in the form of water vapour - the humidity naturally withheld in
the food itself. In this way, optimal cooking results can be achieved for all
types of food.
! Every time the oven is switched on, it suggests the first manual cooking mode.
Manual cooking modes
!
All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be
adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C as desired (300°C for
GRILL mode). Any temperature adjustments will be stored in the appliance
memory and suggested again the next time this mode is used. If the selected
temperature is higher than the temperature inside the oven, the text “Hot”
appears on the display. However, it will still be possible to start cooking.
MULtILEVEL mode
Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and
browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at
the same time.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which
requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed (see “Practical cooking advice”).
FAN GRILLING mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated and
the fan begins to operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating element
is also activated. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of
the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through
the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to
penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed
(see “Practical cooking advice”).
FASt COOKING mode
This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen
or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
LOW tEMpERAtURE modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt,
heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures.
The temperature options are: 40, 65 and 90°C.
BAKING 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 mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes,
which need to rise).
pIzzA modes
The top and circular heating elements switch on and the fan begins to operate.
This combination heats the oven rapidly. If you use more than one rack at a
time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
ECO Programme
The back heating element is turned on and the fan starts working, ensuring
a smooth and uniform heat level inside the oven.
This programme is indicated for slow cooking of any type of food with
temperatures which can be set up to a maximum of 200°C; the programme
is also suitable for heating food and to complete the cooking process.
The programme is particularly suitable for the slow cooking of meat and fish,
as it allows you to have softer meat and save energy at the same time. For
a better energy effectiveness, when the product is turned on, the light stays
on only for 30 seconds; in order to turn the light back on, please press the
button
Automatic cooking modes
!
The temperature and cooking duration are pre-set values , 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 “Hot” appears on the display and it will
not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.
! When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.
