Circulaire + Bottom: Allows quick finish cooking for food that is already cooked on the surface but not internally, ideal for quiches and suitable for all kinds of dishes.
ECO: Low energy cooking, particularly suitable for cooking on a single shelf with low energy consumption. It is recommended for all types of food except those that may produce a large amount of moisture (e.g., vegetables). To obtain maximum energy savings and reduce cooking times, it is recommended to place food in the oven without preheating.

The oven also features special functions:

Defrost: Thaws food based on a selectable time.

The oven light can be disabled, and any operation such as opening the door or manual activation with the knob will not activate the light. The internal fan remains turned off. Knob illumination and audible prompts remain disabled.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning and Maintenance:

General: Do not use steam jets, abrasive or corrosive detergents, scouring powders, stain removers, metallic sponges, or rough/abrasive materials. Use normal, non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Food stains or residues: Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.
Cleaning the door: Remove the door and place it on a tea towel. To remove the door, open it completely and insert two pins into the holes on the hinges. To reassemble, follow the steps in reverse.
Removing the internal glass panes: Pull the rear part gently upwards, following the movement indicated by the arrows. Pull the front part upwards. The 4 pins attached to the glass detach from their housings in the oven door. Use absorbent kitchen roll, wash with a damp sponge and neutral detergent.
Cleaning the oven cavity: Clean regularly after it cools down. Remove all removable parts (door, rack/tray support frames, oven seal). If using specific cleaning products, run the oven at maximum temperature for 15-20 minutes to eliminate any residue.
Drying: After cooking, let the appliance cool, remove dirt, dry with a soft cloth, and leave the door open until the inside is completely dry.
Removing rack/tray support frames: Pull the frame towards the inside of the oven cavity to unhook it from groove A. Then slide it out of the seats at the back B.
Regeneration of self-cleaning panels (catalytic cycle) (on some models only): Clean the base and the upper guard first. Set a regeneration cycle by selecting a fan assisted function at maximum temperature for one hour. If panels are dirty, remove them and wash them with neutral washing up liquid. Put panels back in the oven and set a fan assisted function at 180°C for one hour.
Cleaning the roof of the oven (on some models only): Gently lower the heating element until it stops.
Vapor Clean (on some models only): An assisted cleaning procedure that facilitates the removal of dirt. Pour approx. 40 cc of water onto the floor of the oven. Close the door. During the assisted cleaning cycle, wash the self-cleaning panels (where fitted), which were previously removed, separately in warm water and a small amount of detergent.
Pyrolytic function (on some models only): A high-temperature cleaning procedure that causes dirt to dissolve. Remove all accessories from inside the oven. For very stubborn encrustations, spray an oven cleaning product onto the glass. Remove the rack/tray support frames. Close the door.
Extraordinary maintenance:
- Removing and installing the door seal: Release the clips located in the 4 corners and pull the seal outwards. Hook the clips in the 4 corners onto the seal.
- Replacing the internal light bulb: Unplug the appliance. Use protective gloves. Remove all accessories from inside the oven. Remove the rack/tray support frames. Use a tool (e.g., a spoon) to remove the bulb cover. Replace the light bulb with one of the same type (40W). Refit the cover. Press the cover completely down so that it attaches perfectly to the bulb support.
