Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL
programme, for which only the MAX power level is
recommended.
STATIC OVEN
mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best
to use one cooking rack only. if more than one rack is
used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
OVEN BOTTOM
mode
The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes
(in baking trays) which are already cooked on the
surface but require further cooking in the centre, or
for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only
require moderate colouring on the surface. It should
be noted that this function does not allow the maximum
temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C) and
it is therefore not recommended that foods are cooked
using only this setting, unless you are baking cakes
(which should be baked at a temperature of 180°C or
lower).
OVEN TOP
mode
The top heating element is activated. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking in the juices to keep them tender.
GRILL
mode
The top heating element is activated. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high
surface temperature: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets,
hamburgers etc...
!
The GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must
be performed with the oven door shut.
Timer
To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction

for
almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction

to set the desired length of time.
Lower compartment
There is a compartment underneath
the oven that may be used to store
oven accessories or deep dishes. To
open the door pull it downwards (see
figure).
! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
compartment.
!
The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.
Practical cooking advice
!
In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan
in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or
grease).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to
maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always operate constantly.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as
it prevents the crust from forming by extending the
total cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
WARNING! The oven is provi-
ded with a stop system to extract
the racks and prevent them from
coming out of the oven.(1)
As shown in the drawing, to extract
them completely, simply lift the
racks, holding them on the front
part, and pull (2).
