Cooking with the Multifunction Oven
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required tempe­rature.
If you need more heat from the bottom or from the top, turn the oven function control knob to (top heating
element only) or (bottom heating element only). Otherwise, adjust the shelf level (Fig. 5) as required.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and always place them on the oven grid. The shelf level depends on the thinckness of the food. Always place the dripping pan at the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant smells.
The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking trays, oven dishes, etc.
Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a heat build-up which could affect the performance of the oven and damage the oven enamel.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over­heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
Hints and Tips
i
Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 ° C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe­rature (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it.

Cleaning and Maintenance
General Cleaning
Before cleaning, always allow the oven to cool down. When using spray cleaning products, be careful not
to spread them on the heating elements or on the thermostat sensor.
Never use harsh abrasives, steel wool or cleaners
with bleach, as they could damage the enamel and the oven door glass.
The Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven is still warm. It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a more complete cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner. In case of particularly tough stains, you can use stainless steel cleaning products or some warm vinegar.
If cooking fruits, some over-heated natual acids can squeeze and settle on the oven enamel, causing stains quite difficult to remove. This could affect the enamel brightness, but it will have no consequence on the oven performances. To avoid these stains to be burnt out during the next cooking, carefully clean the oven cavity after all fruits cookings.
The Oven Door and its gasket
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove it from the oven.
Fig. 6
Fig. 7
FO 0288
FO 0027
Proceed as follows:
a) open the oven door completely;
F
b) find the hinges linking the door to the oven (fig 6); c) unlock and turn the small levers located on the
two hinges (fig. 6); d) handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half­closed;
e) gently pull the oven door off its site (fig. 6); f) place it on a steady plan; g) unscrew the two screws marked with lett. A
fig.7; h) pull up the oven door glass and take it away from the oven door.
Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh cloth only. Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door, following the procedure in reverse.
The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket placed round the edge of the oven cavity.
Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If
necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning products.
If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been repaired.

Securing the Oven to the Cabinet
Fit the appliance into the cabinet recess. Open teh oven door and secure the oven to the kitchen cabinet with four wood screws, which fit the holes provided in the oven frame (Fig.12). When installing an electric plate hob over the oven, the hob's electrical connection and the oven's one have to be carried out separately, for security reasons and to let the oven be taken off the unit easier, if necessary.
Electrical Connection
Before the appliance is connected:
1) check that the main fuse and the domestic installation can support the load;
2) check that the power supply is properly earthed in compliance with the current rules;
3) check the socket or the double pole switch used for the electrical connection can be easily reached with the appliance built in the forniture unit.
This appliance is delivered without an electric supply cable, therefore, you will have to fit to it a supply cable with standard plug, suitable for the total electric load shown on the rating plate. The plug is to be inserted into a suitable wall socket.
If connecting the appliance directly to the electric system, a double pole switch must be installed between the appliance and the electricity supply, with a minimum gap of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current rules. The earth wire must not be interrupted by the double switch pole. The connection cable has to be placed in order that, in each part, it cannot reach a temperature 50 °C higher than the room temperature. After the connection is carried out, test the heating elements for about 3 minutes.
Suitable power supply cables are the following types, considering the respective necessary section of cable. H07 RN-F H05 RN-F H05 RR-F H05 VV-F
