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").
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.
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.
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).
ECO mode
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
Rotisserie spit*
! When
mode is on, the rotisserie will stop if the door is opened.
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
icon.
To operate the rotisserie function
(see diagram) proceed as follows:
1. Place the dripping pan in position
1.
2. Place the rotisserie support in
position 3 and insert the spit in the
hole provided on the back panel of
the oven.
3. Start the rotisserie function by
selecting the
or
modes;
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 TEMPERATURE 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.
! Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking time and
temperature.
BEEF mode
Use this function to cook beef, pork and lamb. Place the food inside the oven
while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.
FISH FILLETS mode
This function is ideal for cooking small-medium fillets. Place the food inside
the oven while it is still cold.
BREAD mode
Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we recommend
that you carefully observe the instructions below:
• follow the recipe;
• do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan;
• remember to pour 50 g (0,5 dl) of cold water into the baking tray in
position 5.
• The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1 ½ hours
(depending on the room temperature) or until the dough has doubled in
size.
Recipe for BREAD:
1 Dripping pan holding 1000 g Max, lower level
2 Dripping pans each holding 1000 g Max, medium and lower levels
Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g salt, 25 g fresh yeast
(or 2 sachets of powder yeast)
Method:
• Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).
• Make a small well in the mound of flour.
• Pour in the water and yeast mixture.
• Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of
your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform consistency and is not too
sticky.
• Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with
transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying
out. Select the manual LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and
set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough
to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should double in volume).
• Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.
• Place them in the dripping pan, on a sheet of baking paper.
• Dust the loaves with flour.
• Make incisions on the loaves.
• Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
• Start the
BREAD cooking mode.
• Once baked, leave the loaves on one of the grill racks until they have
cooled completely.
