the rack from being taken out 
accidentally have to face downwards 
and towards the oven back.Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray.

from the food which is being cooked.
Functions list
Gently insert racks and trays into 
the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them 
for the first time to remove any 
residues left by the manufacturing 
process.
Static (convection)
As the heat comes from above and 
below at the same time, this system 
is particularly suitable for certain 
types of food. Traditional cooking, 
also known as static cooking, is 
suitable for cooking just one dish at 
a time. Perfect for all types of roasts, 
bread and cakes and in any case 
particularly suitable for fatty meats 
such as goose and duck. 
						

							Use

Grill
The heat coming from the grill 
element gives perfect grilling results 
above all for thin and medium 
thickness meat and in combination 
with the rotisserie (where present) 
gives the food an even browning at 
the end of cooking. Perfect for 
sausages, ribs and bacon. This 
function enables large quantities of 
food, particularly meat, to be grilled 
evenly.
Bottom (base heat)
The heat coming just from the 
bottom allows you to complete the 
cooking of foods that require a 
higher bottom temperature, without 
affecting their browning. Perfect for 
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
Turbo (supercook)
The combination of fan-assisted 
cooking and traditional cooking 
allows different foods to be cooked 
on several levels extremely quickly 
and efficiently, without odours and 
flavours mingling. Perfect for large 
volumes that call for intense 
cooking.
Defrosting (defrost)
Rapid defrosting is helped by 
switching on the fan provided and 
the top heating element that ensure 
uniform distribution of low 
temperature air inside the oven.Fan-assisted static (fan assisted)
The operation of the fan, combined 
with traditional cooking, ensures 
uniform cooking even with complex 
recipes. Perfect for biscuits and 
cakes, even when simultaneously 
cooked on several levels. (For 
multiple-level cooking, we 
recommend using the 2
nd and 4th 
shelves.)
Fan-assisted grill (fan grill)
The air produced by the fan softens 
the strong heatwave generated by 
the grill, grilling perfectly even very 
thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of 
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
Fan-assisted circular (fan forced)
The combination of the fan and the 
circular element (incorporated in the 
rear of the oven) allows you to cook 
different foods on several levels, as 
long as they need the same 
temperatures and same type of 
cooking. Hot air circulation ensures 
instant and uniform distribution of 
heat. It will be possible, for instance, 
to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits 
simultaneously (on different levels) 
without mixing odours and flavours.
Vapour Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a little 
quantity of water poured onto the 
appropriate drawing placed on the 
bottom.
