OVEN DOOR PROTECTION DEVICE

All our appliances comply with the European Safety
Standards. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the
highest safety level, and avoid little children to be
exposed to the heat when the appliance is operated,
it is possible to fit a special protection device to the
oven door. This device can be purchased in our
Service Force Centres, specifying the relevant code
(35791) and the Product No. shown on the rating
plate. Fitting instructions are provided with the kit
package.

The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself.
All cookings must be carried out
with the oven door closed
When the oven is first installed
Once the oven has been installed:
a) set the thermostat knob to MAX;
F
b) switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking ( );
c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately
45 minutes;
d) open a window for ventilation.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted.
This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of
manufacturing.
Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool
down, then clean the oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked
in warm soapy water.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the
shelf and the dripping pan.
To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part (Fig. 3).

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.
