USING THE OVEN
General tips
• When cooking with the convection oven, traditional oven
and grilling, always preheat the oven for 5 minutes to the
set temperature, so as to achieve best results.
• The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, on
the temperature of the food and on personal tastes. The
times indicated in the table are purely indicative and sub-
ject to variation, and do not include the time required to
preheat the oven.
• To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on
the product packaging.
Defrosting (only on some models)
For proper defrosting in a short time, proceed as follows:
• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.
• Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “•” position.
• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time.
• Place the flat wire rack (G) in the lower guide and rest the
food to be defrosted on a tray on the wire rack, then close
the door.
Example of defrosting: 1 kg of meat, 80-90 minutes without tur-
ning it over.
Delicate cooking
Ideal for pastry and cakes with icing. Good results are also
achieved when completing the cooking of the bottom of the
foods or for cooking that requires heat above all at the bottom.
• Place the wire rack (with a pan on it) in the lower guide, as
shown in the figure on page 4.
• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.
• Select the required temperature using the thermostat knob
(A).
• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time. At the end of
the set time, an audible signal will be emitted; if cooking is
complete before the end of the set time, turn the Timer
knob (B) manually to the “0” position.
Keeping food warm
• Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “60°C” position.
• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.
• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time.
• Place the flat wire rack (G) in the lower guide and rest the
dish with the food on the rack.
It is recommended not to leave the foods in the oven for too long,
as these may dry out.
Convection oven cooking (only on some models)
This function is ideal for baking excellent pizzas, lasagna, “au
gratin” dishes, all types of meat dishes (apart from small poultry),
roast potatoes, cakes in general and bread.
It is also suitable for cooking different foods on two levels at the
same time. Proceed as follows:
• Place the flat wire rack (G) in the position shown in the
table.
• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.
• Select the required temperature by turning the thermostat
knob (A).
• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time.
• After having pre-heated the oven for 5 minutes, place the
food to be cooked inside.
