support in position 3
and insert the spit in
the hole provided on
the back panel of the
oven.
3. Begin spit roast operation by selecting the or

Automatic cooking functions
The temperature and cooking duration are pre-
set values, 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. The cooking
duration may be modified by a period of several
minutes, as specified in the description of the
individual functions below.
MEAT function
Use this function to cook veal, pork, lamb and beef.
Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven. It
will only be possible to adjust the duration by -10/
+10 minutes.
BAKED CAKES function
This function is ideal for baking cakes. Place the
food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish
may also be placed in a preheated oven. It will only
be possible to adjust the duration by -10/+15
minutes.
- Set a duration (for universal cooking functions only)
and the cooking end time.
- Stop cooking by turning the FUNCTION knob to the
“0” position.
5. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in
operation, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking function from the point at
which it was interrupted, as long as the temperature
has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed
cooking modes which have not started will not be
restored and must be reprogrammed.
Universal cooking functions
All functions have a default cooking temperature
which may be adjusted manually to a value between
40°C and 250°C as desired.
For the BARBECUE function, the default power level
value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also
be adjusted manually.
MULTILEVEL function
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the
heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of four
racks may be used at the same time. If you are using
several racks at the same time, we recommend you place
the dripping pan on the lower rack. If you are cooking on 4
levels at the same time, we recommend you place the
shelves on racks 3, 5 and 6 and the dripping pan on rack
1.
GRATIN function
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit
(where present) are activated and the fan begins to
operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating
element is also activated. This combination of
features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the
heating elements through the forced circulation of
the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface
and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.
Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
BARBECUE function
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where
present) are activated. By turning the SET
TEMPERATURE knob, the different power levels
which may be set will appear on the display; these
range between 5% and 100%. The high and direct
temperature of the grill is recommended for food
which requires a high surface temperature. Always
cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
