If you program your oven to switch off
automatically, it will actually switch off a few minutes
earlier. In this way the residual heat inside the oven
will complete the cooking, allowing you to save
energy. The indications on the display will in any
case remain on right up to the end of the cooking

Error code
The electronic programmer constantly carries
out diagnostic tests on the system. If some of the
parameters are not correct, such as, for example,
if the oven is used incorrectly, the control unit
terminates all functions currently in use and the
display shows the corresponding error code
(letter “F” followed by a number - Fig. 21).

How to prepare the oven for steam
cooking
For steam cooking it is essential to
fill the water tank.
To fill it, pull out the water loading draw (
follow the
instructions on page 17)
and pour water into the
tank with a graduated jug (Fig. 25) until the
“tank full” light comes on. Remember that the water
tank can be refilled with little more than 800 cc of
water.
Then replace the cap and close the drawer. At this
point the oven is ready for steam cooking.
If you pour too much water into the
tank, a safety outlet will pour it back
into the bottom of the oven.
Dry this excess water with a sponge or
cloth (Fig. 26).
Fig. 25
Fig. 26
Tank full light
Indicates that the oven is ready for steam cooking.
Tank empty light
Indicates that the tank is empty and that therefore
steam cooking cannot be done.

Advice and suggestions for steam
cooking
• Be sure not to cover the pots with lids, this would
make it impossible for the steam to come into
contact with the food.
• You can cook your dishes directly on the grill
(Fig. 28). In this case remember to pour a little
water into the drip-tray and to slide it into
position beneath the grill.
The drip-tray will collect the fats melted during
cooking, and the water prevents the fats from
burning and producing unpleasant odours or
smoke.
• If you wish to open the door to check the
cooking process, remember to disconnect
the STEAM function . After you have checked
the food, close the door and select the steam
cooking function once more.
For steam cooking, proceed as follows:
1. Before every steam cooking, fill the tank as
shown on page 17. The amount of 800 cc
(0,8 lt) of water is enough for about 40/45 of
cooking time.
2. Then prepare the food in pots suitable to be
used in the oven, position them on the grill
(Fig. 27) at the height suggested in the
cooking tables. The 2° level from the bottom
usually gives the best results.
3. Select the “steam” function .
4. Select a temperature between 130°C and
230°C. Remember that above 230°C
steam cooking does not give very good
results.
5. Empty the tank after every steam
cooking (follow the procedure described
Fig. 27
)
How to use steam cooking
The possible formation of condensate on
the oven door glass, walls and bottom
does not affect oven operation.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the oven.
Take care when opening the oven
door as the steam will immediately
pour out.
Fig. 28
on page 38).
Steam starts to develop when the
oven reaches the set temperature.
20
The accessories for steam cooking (available for
purchase in a separate kit) offer the opportunity to
expand the field of steam cooking, allowing you, for
example, to experiment with specific ways of cooking
vegetables, fish, etc.
The accessories include:
- a dietary baking-pan consisting of two half-shells
made out of special glass with a recess for the
passage of a steam injector (Fig.29);
- a small grill to place inside the dietary baking pan
to keep the food raised;
- 2 injectors for steam cooking;
- a special steam cooking probe with two different
injectors to be used as shown in figures 29 and
30, by inserting them in the probe.
Fig. 29
Accessories for steam cooking
Steam cooking in the dietary baking dish is
particularly suited for vegetables: it heightens the
flavours without watering them down and maintains
the nutrient properties of the foods intact.
Direct vapour cooking (Fig. 30) which uses the
perforated injector is ideal for chickens and turkeys.
The flesh is cooked on the inside thanks to the
vapour while on the outside it browns through
traditional cooking, and ends up being delicate, soft
and very tasty. The holes in the injector must not
be blocked; this is why the injector must always be
placed inside the empty part of the chicken and
turkey, as shown in Fig. 30.
Fig. 30
Fit the end of the probe with the metal
element into the steam outlet. Insert the
two injectors into the other end of the
probe.
