How to use your appliance  
Once pre-heating is complete, an acoustic signal will sound  
The 7 Cuochi oven combines the advantages of traditional  
convection ovens with those of the more modern fan assisted  
models in a single appliance.  
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose  
easily and safely between 7 different cooking modes. The  
various features offered by the oven are selected by means  
of selector knob “B” situated on the control panel.  
and the icon m will come on permanently, and at this  
stage you can place the food to be cooked inside the pre-  
heated oven.  
Note: the FAST COOKING and GRILL modes do not inclu-  
de a pre-heating phase. Please remember that you can  
always do the following when cooking is under way:  
change the cooking mode by turning knob “B”;  
change the temperature by turning knob “C”;  
programme the cooking time and end cooking time (see  
paragraph entitled “Programming the cooking mode”).  
stop it at any time by setting knob “B” back to 0.  
Notice:The first time you use your appliance, we recommend  
that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave  
the oven on for at least half an hour with nothing in it, with the  
oven door shut.Then, open the oven door and let the room  
air.The odour that is often detected during this initial use is  
due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the  
oven during storage and until it is installed.  
Note: For safety reasons, a cooking time of 2 hours is set  
for each cooking mode by default. Should this time fail to  
be adjusted, the oven will be automatically turned off once  
this time is up.  
Setting the digital clock  
Notice: Place the oven tray provided on the bottom shelf of  
the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping  
onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling food or when  
using the turnspit (only available on certain models). For all  
other types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never  
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation  
because this could damage the enamel coating.Always place  
your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid  
provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven  
guides.  
The time can only be set on the clock when knob “B” is in  
position 0.  
After the appliance has been connected to the power supply,  
or when the power has gone out, the clock display will  
automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink. 0.00.  
Turn knob C to set the hours and then press OK to confirm.  
Turn knob C again to set the minutes and then press OK  
to confirm the time definitively.Any changes can be made  
by pressing button 2 and following the above procedure.  
Timer Feature  
Convection Oven a  
The timer does not control the starting or stopping of the  
oven, it merely sounds a buzzer when the time is up and  
can be interrupted at any time just by pressing a button.  
To set the timer, press button 3, adjust it using knob C and  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come  
on.This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been  
perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced  
energy consumption.The convection oven is still unequalled  
when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several  
ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, local stockfish recipes,  
tender veal with rice, etc.Excellent results are achieved when  
preparing meat-based dishes as well: braised meats, stew,  
goulash, game, ham etc. which need to cook slowly and  
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains  
the best system for baking cakes and pastries as well as fruit  
and cooking casseroles.When cooking in convection mode,  
use only one rack, as the temperature would not be distributed  
evenly on several racks. Using the different rack heights  
available, you can balance the amount of heat between the  
top and the bottom of the oven.Select from among the various  
rack heights based on whether the dish needs more or less  
heat from the top.  
then press the OK button to confirm. The n icon will remind  
you the timer is on.  
Once the countdown is over, a buzzer will sound, and will stop  
doing so after 1 minute or if you press any button whatsoever.  
The oven light  
It can be turned on at any time with the oven turned off,  
simply by pressing button 1 or by opening the oven door.  
Cooling ventilation  
In order to reduce the temperature of the exterior of the  
oven, a cooling fan generates a flow of air that can be  
heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.  
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until  
the oven cools down sufficiently.  
Note:InFast cookingmode, the fan comes on automatically  
only when the oven is hot.  
Multi-Cooking Mode b  
Reminder: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system  
which detects any malfunctions.The user is informed of the  
latter by messages such as “Fn m” that come up on the  
display (n and m = single digit numbers).In these cases, you  
need to call for technical assistance as the oven is faulty.  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The heating elements and the fan come on alternately.Since  
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven,  
the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface.  
With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same  
time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are  
the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same  
time, following the instructions in the section entitled:Cooking  
On More Than One Rack”.  
HowTo UseYour Oven  
Turn knob B to select the desired cooking mode.The oven  
will immediately start the pre-heating phase, during which  
the icon mwill flash on the display, and the cooking tem-  
This cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes  
requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably  
prolonged cooking times, such as for example:lasagne, pasta  
perature associated with the mode selected will be  
displayed: should this value not be the one you desire,  
you can modify it simply by turning knob C.

bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the  
excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower  
temperatures when cooking roasts.This results in less loss  
of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the  
loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is  
especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared  
with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus  
maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent results  
can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes  
like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc.  
Baking Mode u  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing  
delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.  
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -  
especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of  
certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time.Here are a few  
examples:cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury  
puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin,  
etc…..  
Desserts:this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes.  
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white  
or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C.  
To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or  
use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the  
thermostat to 0°C.  
“Fast cooking” Mode v  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing  
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.  
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed  
food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for  
example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few  
“home-made” dishes.  
The best results when cooking using theFast cookingmode  
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second  
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical  
Cooking Advice”.  
Grill 2  
Position of thermostat knob “C:Between 50% and 100%.  
The top heating element and the turnspit (where present)  
come on.  
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes  
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while  
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also  
highly recommended for dishes that require a high  
temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib  
steak, filets, hamburgers etc...  
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking, except  
when using the turnspit.  
Some grilling examples are included in thePractical Cooking  
Advice” paragraph.  
“Defrosting” ModeU  
Position of thermostat knob “C”: any  
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air  
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is  
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in  
particular for delicate types of food which do not require  
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or  
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the  
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of  
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process  
using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the tempera-  
ture to 80° - 100°C.  
Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different  
energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%)  
and maximum (100%) settings.  
Gratin T  
Position of thermostat knobC:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The top heating element, the fan and the turnspit (where  
present) come on.  
Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function  
V
This function is designed to clean your oven thoroughly.  
For details on the fast clean function, please refer to the  
paragraph entitled “Automatic cleaning with the fast clean  
function”.  
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of  
the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements  
through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.This  
helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the  
heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are  
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,  
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail,  
pork chops, etc.  
The turnspit (only available on certain models)  
To start the turnspit, proceed as follows:  
a) place the oven tray on the 1st rack;  
b) insert the special turnspit support on the 3rd rack and  
position the spit by inserting it through the special hole  
into the turnspit at the back of the oven;  
Allgratin”cooking must be done with the oven door shut.  
The “gratin” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna,  
swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.  
c) start the turnspit using knob “B” to select setting  
/
.
2 T  
Pizza Mode w  
Position of thermostat knobC:Between 40°C and 250°C.  
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the  
fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven  
due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance  
(2800 W), which results in the production of considerable  
heat coming prevalently from the bottom.  
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures  
to cook, like pizzas and large roasts.Only use one oven tray  
or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these  
must be switched halfway through the cooking process.

Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function  
When the fast clean function has been enabled, the  
Safety devices  
temperature inside the oven reaches 500 °C, which is  
necessary to burn all food residue that has built up inside it.  
If you look through the oven glass, you may notice some  
particles that light up as they are destroyed by pyrolysis  
upon contact with the heating elements: this is simply  
spontaneous combustion:it is perfectly normal and hazard-  
free.  
Given the high temperatures reached inside it, the oven is  
fitted with several safety devices:  
the door is locked automatically as soon as the tem-  
perature exceeds a certain value, to avoid all risk of  
burns;  
the heating elements are no longer electrically  
powered, as a precautionary measure, should a fault  
occur.  
Once the oven door has been locked, you cannot make  
any changes to the cycle time, cycle end and timer  
settings.  
A few useful tips before automatic cleaning begins  
1- Try to remove large scraps of food and caked-on dirt with  
a damp sponge.Avoid using detergents or any other special  
products recommended for oven cleaning.  
2- Remove all the accessories from the oven, as these  
are not designed to withstand such high temperatures. In  
addition, some accessories could affect the efficiency of the  
automatic cleaning cycle by obstructing the circulation of heat  
along all the interior walls of the oven.The accessories can  
easily be washed like everyday crockery (even in your  
dishwasher).  
What happens at the end of an automatic cleaning  
cycle?  
At the end of the automatic cleaning cycle, the word “end”  
is displayed and an acoustic signal is sounded, which can  
be silenced just by pressing any one of the buttons. Turn  
knobBto the0setting and the word “endwill disappear.  
To open the oven door, you will have to wait until the tem-  
perature inside it has dropped to a suitable value.  
You will notice some white dust deposits on the bottom and  
sides of your oven; remove them with a damp sponge once  
the oven has cooled down completely.  
You may on the other hand prefer to take advantage of the  
heat accumulated to start cooking immediately; in this case  
the dust can stay where it is: it is completely harmless and  
will not affect your food in any way.  
3- Do not place tea towels over the oven handle.  
Notice:during the automatic cleaning cycle,the surfaces  
may become very hot. Keep children well away.  
How to enable the fast clean function  
Shut the oven door.  
Set the selector knob to V.  
To programme the fast clean cycle time and/or cycle  
end time, follow the instructions provided in the  
paragraph entitled “Fast clean programming”. Please  
note that you can choose a cycle time of between 60  
and 120 minutes, depending on the degree of soil in  
your oven.  
DO NOT WORRY IF  
1 the cooling fan is operating at low speed at the start of  
the fast clean cycle;  
2 the electrical system limiter blows when Fast Clean is  
in use:this is due to a mains overload (too many electric  
household appliances used at the same time);  
3 the oven door is locked during the Fast Clean  
programme:this is an appliance safety device;the door  
will only open when the oven has cooled completely;  
4 small stains are left on the interior surface of the oven  
after the Fast Clean cycle:we recommend you remove  
the toughest grease spots and large scraps of food  
before the self-cleaning cycle and that you set the cycle  
time in accordance with the degree of soil in your oven;  
5 you see ventilated air exiting the oven for a while when  
cooking is complete: it is due to the normal cooling  
phase of the oven interior;  
6 when using the “grill” mode, the top heating element  
isn’t always on (red in colour):its operation is controlled  
by a thermostat;  
7 a blast of hot steam exits the oven when you open the  
door during cooking;  
8 drops of water or steam form inside the oven if you  
leave food inside the oven after cooking is complete;

Practical Cooking Advice  
oven rack from the bottom and the dripping pan on the  
bottom rack to collect any sauce and /or dripping fat.  
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allow  
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.With  
time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile  
cooking appliance and the following directions are only a  
guideline which may be varied according to your own per-  
sonal experience.  
The “Gratin” mode T only with the oven door shut, is  
extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution  
of heat makes it possible not only to brown the surface,  
but also to cook the bottom part.  
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the  
end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin  
finish to pasta bakes, for example.  
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd  
oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to  
prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of  
the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-  
pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.  
Important: always cook inGratinmode with the oven  
door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent  
results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).  
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat  
to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill,  
which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this  
does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply  
by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired tempera-  
ture.  
Cooking on More Than One Rack  
If you have to cook food using several racks, use either  
the “baking” mode uor the “Multi-cooking” mode b, as  
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.  
When cooking delicate food on more than one rack, use  
the “baking” mode u, which allows you to cook on 3  
racks at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the  
bottom). Some examples are included in the “Practical  
Cooking Advice” table.  
When cooking other food on several racks, use the “Mul-  
ti-cooking” mode b keeping the following suggestions  
in mind:  
The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan assisted  
cooking, use two of the three central racks; the lowest  
and highest racks receive the hot air directly and  
therefore delicate foodstuffs could be burnt on these  
racks.  
In models fitted with a rotisserie T, you can use the spit  
kit provided when using the “gratin” mode. In this case,  
place the spit kit on the third oven rack from the bottom  
and the dripping pan on the bottom rack to collect any  
sauce and /or dripping fat.  
As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from the  
bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require greater heat  
on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For example, when  
cooking meat roasts together with other food, place  
the roast on the 2nd rack from the bottom and the more  
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom.  
When cooking food that requires differing times and  
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere  
between the two temperatures required, place the more  
delicate food on the 4th rack from the bottom and take  
the food requiring less time out of the oven first.  
Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the grid on  
the upper;  
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes  
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks  
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease  
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke  
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven  
rack from the bottom.  
Baking Cakes  
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated  
oven. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent  
the cake from dropping. In general:  
Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode  
Functional, fast and practical for those of you who use  
pre-packed products (such as for example: frozen or pre-  
cooked food) along with other food items.You will find useful  
suggestions in the “Practical Cooking Advice” table.  
Pastry is too dry  
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the  
cooking time.  
Using the Grill  
The “7 Cuochi” oven offers you several different grilling  
modes.  
Pastry dropped  
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.  
Use the “grill” mode 2with the oven door ajar, placing  
the food under the centre of the grill (situated on the 3rd  
or 4th rack from the bottom).  
Pastry is too dark on top  
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and  
increase the cooking time.  
To catch any fat and/or grease that may drip from the rack,  
place the dripping pan provided on the first rack from the  
bottom.  
When using this mode, we recommend you set the en-  
ergy level to the highest setting, even though lower levels  
can be set, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the  
desired level.  
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the  
outside  
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase  
the cooking time.  
In models fitted with a rotisserie 2, you can use the spit  
kit provided when using the “grill” mode.In this case, cook  
with the oven door shut, placing the spit kit on the third

Cooking Fish and Meat  
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature  
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.  
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while  
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with  
a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time,  
then turn the oven down afterwards.  
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature  
setting.Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place  
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.  
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the centre  
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of  
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury  
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat  
with lard or bacon on the top.  
The pastry sticks to the pan  
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of  
flour or use greaseproof paper.  
I used more than one level (in the function  
"ventilated oven") and they are not all at the same  
cooking point  
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to  
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.  
Cooking Pizza  
For best results when cooking pizza, use thePizza Mode”  
w:  
Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes  
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the rack  
supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is used, this  
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a  
crispy crust;  
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza  
is cooking;  
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we  
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top  
halfway through the cooking process.  
If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise  
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode b, as the Pizza  
Mode w would heat the bottom rack more than the  
others.

How to KeepYour Oven in Shape  
How to remove the oven door  
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven  
door. Proceed as follows:  
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,  
disconnect it from the power supply.  
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned  
frequently, keeping in mind that:  
open the door fully;  
lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two  
hinges;  
Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.  
the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be  
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra-  
sive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin  
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains  
are difficult to remove, use special products available  
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse  
thoroughly and dry.  
grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly  
but not completely;  
pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;  
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures  
backwards.

the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned  
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot  
water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and  
the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive de-  
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and  
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as  
limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the  
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly  
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean-  
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.  
if you use your oven for an extended period of time,  
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.  
it is important to ensure that the seal around the oven door  
opening is not damaged. Should it be damaged, please  
contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We  
recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been  
repaired.

Replacing the oven lamp  
never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the  
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise  
the cooking and even damage the enamel.  
clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or  
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.  
Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch  
off the main switch before all operations.  
With the aid of a narrow, flat item (such as a screwdriver  
or a spoon handle, etc...), remove the glass cover.  
Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another featuring  
the same characteristics:  
- voltage 230/240 V  
- wattage 15 W  
- type E 14  
Replace the glass cover and ensure you reposition the  
seal correctly.

INSTALLATION  
The panels of the adjacent cabinets must be made of heat-  
The appliance must be installed only by a qualified  
person in compliance with the instructions provided.

exterior must be assembled with glues which can with-  
stand temperatures of up to 100 °C.  
In compliance with current safety standards, contact with  
the electrical parts of the oven must not be possible once  
it has been installed.  
All parts which ensure the safe operation of the appliance  
must be removable only with the aid of a tool.  
For the correct centring of your appliance, position the 4  
tabs on the sides of the oven in correspondence with the  
4 holes on the perimeter of the frame. In particular, if the  
cabinet side panel:  
Installation of Built-in Ovens  
In order to ensure that the built-in appliance functions prop-  
erly, the cabinet containing it must be appropriate. The

declaration) under the counter or in a wall cabinet unit.

Troubleshooting  
If your oven releases a lot of smoke during cooking:  
Make sure you have selected the correct cooking mode for the type of dish you want to prepare and that you have  
selected the right accessories and put the dish in the oven at the recommended rack height.  
Check the temperature selected: is it too high for the type of cooking required.  
Check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether it needs to be cleaned. Food residue encrusted onto the enamel  
coating inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and pungent smells.  
Splashes of grease or overflows onto very hot surfaces could create smoke.
