If you need to inspect the food being cooked, you can switch on the oven light briefly
or you can open the oven door. When the door is opened, the lights come on and the
cooking process stops (fan stops, elements stop and rotisserie ceases to turn). Closing
the door reactivates the previously set function. This is an energy saving feature that
stops the oven temperatures dropping when the door is opened and cold, external air
is introduced to the oven cavity. This function dramatically reduces loss of heat in the
oven when the door is opened.
The oven has an automatic device which allows steam from cooking, in some functions,
to be expelled from the oven: this is dry cooking (dry). If the cooking requires that the
moisture remains inside the oven, moist cooking (wet), the automatic device can be
switched off as follows:
after selecting the desired cooking function, when
[ON]
appears on the display hold
down the “-” programmer button for about 2 seconds until
[HUM]
appears on the display.
This involves a choice that allows you to modify dry cooking with moist cooking to your
liking.
The functions concerned are:
N.B. Cooking with probe cannot be used in the “DEFROST”, “QUICK START”, “PIZ-
ZA” and “ECO” functions. When the oven is in stand-by insert the meat probe into the
connecting socket on the right-hand wall of the oven: the clock displays “MEAT” for 2
seconds and the “probe” symbol flashes. Next the probe’s default temperature (75°C)
appears on the display. By turning and then pressing the adjustment button, select the
end of cooking temperature from the 2 limit values of 40° and 100°C (the food’s internal
temperature). After 4 seconds from the last setting, the set value is memorized and the
probe symbol stays on. Turn on the oven, select the cooking function and the desired
temperature using the appropriate knobs. The display will show the probe’s temperature
reading. Upon reaching the programmed temperature the oven will turn off, a buzzer
sounds and the display shows the message “End” and you enter the cooking over mode.
During cooking it is always possible to change the probe’s temperature by pressing and
then turning the adjustment knob 3 times.
NOTE:
If you insert the probe into the special socket during cooking, the oven will turn
off and “Off” appears on the display.
If, during cooking, the probe is removed from the special socket, the oven will turn off
and “Off” appears on the display.
This function allows you to cook with considerable energy savings. To take advantage
of this feature, place the dish in the centre of the oven before starting the ECO function.
With the ECO function, cooking times can be adapted to slow cooking as: braised
meats, white meats, baked pasta, delicate pastry.
This cooking cycle is not recommended for frozen food. To select Eco cooking turn
selector knob “S” to 8 and, when “ON” appears on the display, hold down the program-
mer’s “+” key for about 2 seconds until “ECO” appears on the display. With Eco cooking
the temperature that can be programmed goes from a minimum of 30° C up to a maxi-
mum of 300° C.
NOTE:
Eco cooking cannot be selected with the meat probe inserted.
