GENERAL FEATURES
The oven has special operating features.
Five different functions can be used to satisfy all cooking needs; it also has a self cleaning function which can clean the oven cavity at high temperature, a defrost function and an oven light function.
These functions are managed by an electronic programmer which keeps the temperature set constant by means of a probe inside the oven cavity.
The oven has the following heating elements:
- Lower heating element (double) 500 + 1300 W
- Upper heating element |
1000 W |
- Grill heating element |
2000 W |
- Circular heating element |
2200 W |
USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
-Put the shelf and the tray in the oven.
-Switch the oven on when it is empty (on any cooking function – NOT SELF CLEANING) at maximum power for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from the components.
-When the oven has cooled down and the appliance, unplugged clean the inside of the oven with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it completely.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
VERY IMPORTANT
The oven shall be used always with the door closed.
WHEN THE SELF CLEANING MODE HAS BEEN COMPLETED:
• do not start immediately a new self cleaning cycle: LET THE OVEN TO COOL DOWN.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the multifunction self cleaning oven takes place as follows:
•by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
•by forced convection
The heat produced by the circular element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.
•by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red broil element.
•by radiation and fan
The radiated heat from the infra red broil element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.
•by double radiation and fan
The fan distributes the heat radiated by the broil heating element and the upper heating element in the oven.
•by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.
•by self cleaning
The heat produced by the heating elements cleans the internal oven cavity removing all residue of grease.
THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION
NOTES ON OVEN WORKING
A cooling fan starts automatically when selecting a cooking or self cleaning mode. It stops when turning the selector knob to OFF or light or defrosting position and th inside oven cavity temperature drops below 100 °C (212 °F).
The purpose of this fan is to reduce the temperature inside/outside the appliance.
Note: The first time the oven is used or after a black-out the program must be started by pressing keys 2 and 3 simultaneously. See the section on the use of the electronic programmer.

To rapidly defrost frozen foods; 2.2 lbs (1 kg) requires about one hour.
The defrosting times vary according to the quantity and type of foods to be defrosted.
CONVECTION COOKING WITH VENTILATION
The circular element and the fan switch on. The heat from the back is diffused by fan convection. The temperature can be set between 120 °F (50 °C) and 480 °F (250 °C). On selecting this function the electronic program starts cooking with a pre-heating temperature set at 320 °F (180 °C). To vary the temperature see the “Setting the cooking” section.
Recommended for:
For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking; for ex: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

SELF CLEANING FUNCTION (this is not a cooking function)
CAUTION: During the self cleaning cycle the accessible parts may become hot. Keep children away.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle.
Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds.
Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.
WHEN THE SELF CLEANING MODE HAS BEEN COMPLETED:
• do not start immediately a new self cleaning cycle on the same oven: LET THE RANGE TO COOL DOWN.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not a cooking function but is only used to clean the oven.
Before starting the self cleaning cycle:
-Take all the accessories out of the oven (broiling pan and shelves).
-Clean any traces of liquid which have overflowed.
-Close the oven door and make sure that it is closed properly.
If there are cracks or flaws on the oven door glass (inside/outside) or if the gaskets are ruined or worn or if the door does not close perfectly, unplug the appliance and contact the Service Centre.
GENERAL INFORMATION
•In this function the residual cooking greases on the inside walls of the oven cavity are pulverised by the high temperature. The fumes produced during this process are filtered by a special catalyst in the upper part of the appliance.
•Smells and fumes produced during self cleaning are not a cause of alarm. Adequate ventilation should however be provided in the room where the range is installed, e.g. by opening a window.
•Do not wait for the oven to be very greasy before performing this cleaning. It should not be performed after every cooking, either, but only when the level of dirt justifies it (on average 1 – 2 times a month depending on oven use).
•For safety reasons (high temperature of the oven cavity), when the self cleaning starts, the oven door is automatically locked by an electronic device (after about 30 seconds on the control panel the door locked pilot light lights up). The door can no longer be opened and is only unlocked at the end of the cleaning cycle or, stopping the cycle, when the oven cavity has cooled to a temperature lower than 570 °F (300 °C).
•When the self cleaning function starts an internal fan starts automatically to cool the oven walls. It only stops at the end of the cycle, when the oven cavity temperature has dropped below 212 °F (100 °C).
•The procedures for starting, stopping and completing the self cleaning cycle and dealing with any problems are described in the following section:
-“How to start the self cleaning cycle”
-“Problems on starting and during the self cleaning cycle”
-“How to stop the self cleaning cycle”
-“What to do when the self cleaning cycle has finished”
-“Abnormal situations and/or operating problems”
