Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from materials complying with the requirements of the current directive.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

To prevent problems caused by steam in the oven, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open.

To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

Operation of the fan generates a normal air flow which comes out from the rear of the hob and may continue for a short time even after the oven is turned off.

9.3 Use of the electric grill

For short cooking times, for example for browning already-cooked meat, select the static grill function ; set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob. The ventilated grill function allows actual cooking to be done, thanks to the forced ventilation which

lets heat penetrate inside the food. For this type of cooking select the ventilated grill function , set the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature (never more than 225°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob. Cooking time must not exceed 60 minutes.

fan grill function, set the thermostat knob to maximum temperature (260°C) and adjust grill intensity by means of the variable grill knob, without exceeding the ¾ stroke as shown in the figure. Cooking procedures with grill and rotisserie must never last more than 60 minutes. All cooking procedures with grill + rotisserie must be carried out with the door closed to prevent the knobs and front panel of the appliance from overheating.
