stored for longer in the refrigerator;

•  organisational:  thanks  to  the  longer  storage  period, 

dishes may be prepared well in advance;

•  diet-related: this type of cooking limits the amount of fatty 

substances used and therefore means that the food is 

lighter and easier to digest;

•  financial: the food shrinks less so there is more of the 

product left after it has been cooked.

To use this technique, you must use a vacuum-packing 

machine and the appropriate bags. Follow the instructions 

supplied relating to vacuum-packing food carefully.

The vacuum-packing technique may also be used for raw 

products  (fruit,  vegetables,  etc.)  as  well  as  pre-cooked 

products (traditional cooking).

 DEFROSTNG mode

The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-temperature 

air around the food. This mode is suitable for defrosting any type 

of food, especially delicate items that should not be heated, for 

example: ice-cream cakes or cakes made with custard, cream 

or fruit.

ECO 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 energy 
saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for 

heating foods and finishing off cooking.

Rotisserie spit* 

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.

Automatic cooking modes

!

  The 

temperature

 and 

cooking duration

 are 

pre-set

, 

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 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 “OVEN 

TOO HOT” appears on the display and it will not be possible 

to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.

The icon representing the selected mode and the icon 

representing the recommended shelf position appear on 

the display alternately.

!

 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.

 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 

50g (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 PROVING 

function on the oven. 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.
