Instructions for the User  
6.3 Warnings and general advice for usage  
All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed.  
Cooking processes using the grill / fan-assisted grill must not last more  
than 20 minutes.  
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil  
and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel  
coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere  
with the hot air circulation inside the oven.  
For the best cooking results, we recommend  
placing cookware in the centre of the rack.  
To prevent any steam in the oven from causing  
problems, open the door in two stages: half  
open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then  
fully open. If you need to access the food,  
always leave the door open for as short a time  
as possible to prevent the temperature in the  
oven from falling and ruining the food.  
To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the internal  
glass, hot food should not be left inside the oven for too long after cooking.

7. COOKING WITH THE OVEN  
ECO:  
Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is  
particularly suitable for cooking on a single runner only, as it  
provides low energy consumption.  
STATIC:  
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 or thermal radiation  
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.  
GRILL:  
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling  
results, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in  
combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the  
food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. Perfect for  
sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large  
rd  
quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. (3 or  
th  
4
runner).  
ROTISSERIE GRILL: (on the pyrolytic model only)  
The rotisserie functions in combination with the grill element  
allow to perfectly brown food.  
BOTTOM:  
The heat coming solely from the bottom makes it possible to  
complete the cooking of foods that require a greater basic  
temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes,  
pies, tarts and pizzas.  
FAN-ASSISTED STATIC:  
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.  
st  
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1 and  
rd  
3
runners.)

Instructions for the User  
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:  
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave  
generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling even with very thick  
foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of pork). We  
recommend using the 3rd runner.  
In pyrolytic models, this function also includes defrosting and  
proving, see 7.4 Proving and defrosting functions.  
CIRCULAR:  
The combination of the fan and the circular element  
(incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to  
be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same  
temperature and cooking time. 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 smells and flavours.  
st  
rd  
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1 and 3 runners.)  
TURBO:  
The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking  
enables different foods to be cooked on several levels  
extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of smells  
and flavours.  
Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking.  
st  
(For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1 and  
rd  
3
runners.)  
DEFROSTING: (see 7.4 Proving and defrosting functions)  
Rapid defrosting is assisted by switching on the fan. The  
movement of air caused by the fan makes food defrost faster.  
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.

7.1 Cooking advice and instructions  
7.1.1 General advice  
We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not put  
food into the compartment until the warning light has switched off to indicate that  
the preset temperature has been reached or until the display is flashing.  
For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function to  
achieve uniform cooking at all heights.  
In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the  
temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on  
the inside).  
7.1.2 Advice for cooking meat  
Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality  
of the food and to consumer's taste.  
We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it.  
Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if  
not, it needs another few minutes cooking.  
7.1.3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits  
Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better.  
The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and  
consistency of the dough.  
Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the  
cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough  
does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.  
If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion  
reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if  
necessary.  
7.1.4 Advice for defrosting and proving  
We recommend positioning frozen foods in a lidless container on the first runner  
of the oven.  
The food must be defrosted without its wrapping.  
Lay out the foodstuffs to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.  
26  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Instructions for the User  
When defrosting meat, we recommend using a rack positioned on the second  
runner with the food on it and a tray positioned on the first runner. In this way,  
the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food.  
The most delicate parts can be covered with aluminium foil.  
For successful proving, a container of water should be placed in the bottom of  
the oven.  
7.1.5 Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan-assisted grill  
Using the Grill function  
, meat can be grilled even when it is put into the  
oven cold; preheating is recommended if you wish to change the effect of the  
cooking.  
With the Fan-assisted grill function  
preheat the oven before grilling.  
, however, we recommend that you  
7.2 To save energy  
To save energy during use of the appliance, the following instructions may be  
followed:  
Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will  
continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated  
inside the oven.  
Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal.  
Use the ECO function (on some models only) for cooking on a single runner.  
Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
NEVER USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.  
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by SMEG.  
8.1 Cleaning stainless steel  
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after  
use. Let it cool first.  
8.2 Ordinary daily cleaning  
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific  
products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.  
How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse  
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.  
8.3 Food stains or residues  
Do not use steel sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the  
surface.  
Use normal non-abrasive products and a wooden or plastic tool if  
necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre  
cloth.  
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.  
8.4 Cleaning the door glazing  
The glass in the door should always be kept thoroughly clean. Use absorbent  
kitchen roll; remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and an ordinary  
detergent.  
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the door glazing.  
(e.g. powder products, oven-cleaner sprays, stain removers and metal scouring  
pads).  
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the  
oven's glass doors since they may scratch the surface.

8.5 Cleaning the inside of the oven  
For the best oven upkeep, clean it regularly after having allowed it to cool.  
Take out all removable parts.  
Clean the oven racks with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and  
dry.  
For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see “9.2 Removing the  
door”).  
The oven should be operated at the maximum heat setting for 15/20 minutes  
after use of specific products, to burn off the residues left inside the oven.

Pyrolysis: automatic oven cleaning (on some models only)  
Pyrolysis is an automatic high-temperature cleaning procedure which causes  
dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the  
oven very easily.  
During the first automatic cleaning cycle, unpleasant smells may occur due to  
the normal evaporation of oily manufacturing substances. This is an absolutely  
normal phenomenon which disappears after the first cleaning cycle.  
Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not  
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.  
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door locking device makes it impossible to open  
the door.  
IF THE OVEN IS INSTALLED UNDERNEATH A HOB, MAKE SURE THAT THE  
BURNERS OR ELECTRIC PLATES REMAIN OFF DURING THE AUTOMATIC  
CLEANING CYCLE.

Instructions for the User  
8.6.1 Before starting the automatic cleaning cycle  
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any time of the day or night (if you wish to  
benefit from the lower cost of electricity overnight).  
Completely remove all accessories  
from inside the oven and the roof  
lining, as shown in the illustration.  
Make sure that the oven door is  
firmly closed.  
Refer to the following diagram for setting the cleaning cycle duration:  
CLEANING  
DURATION  
LIGHT DIRT  
90 MIN.  
MEDIUM DIRT  
135 MIN.  
HEAVY DIRT  
180 MIN.  
During the automatic cleaning cycle, the fans produce a more intense level of  
noise due to a greater rotation speed; this is entirely normal and intended to  
facilitate heat dissipation.  
At the end of pyrolysis, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid  
overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven.

VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)  
VAPOR CLEAN is an assisted cleaning procedure which facilitates the removal  
of dirt. Thanks to this process, it is possible to clean the inside of the oven very  
easily. The dirt residues are softened by the heat and water vapour for an easier  
removal afterwards.  
Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle, make sure that the oven does not  
contain any foods or large spills from previous cooking operations.  
Carry out assisted oven cleaning operations only when the oven is cold.  
8.7.1 Before starting the assisted cleaning cycle  
Completely remove all accessories  
from inside the oven. The roof lining  
can be left inside the oven.  
Pour approx. 40cl of water onto the  
floor of the oven (as shown in the

8.7.3 End of the assisted cleaning cycle  
The water remaining at the end of the assisted cleaning cycle cannot be left  
inside the oven for long (for example overnight).  
You are advised to wear a pair of gloves during these processes.  
At the end of the cleaning cycle, open the door and wipe away the less stubborn  
dirt with a microfibre cloth. Use an anti-scratch sponge with brass filaments on  
more difficult encrustations (we recommend removing the door to facilitate  
access to restricted spaces). Dry the oven with a microfibre cloth.  
For improved hygiene and to avoid food being affected by any unpleasant  
odours, we recommend that the oven is dried using a fan function at 160°C for  
approximately 10 minutes.
