OVEN DOOR PROTECTION DEVICE
(MOD.AB 456 X)
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.

Cooling fan
The purpose of the fan is to cool the control panel,
the knobs and the oven door handle. The air stream
flows out between the control panel and the oven
door handle.
To ensure proper cooling, the fan will continue to operate even after the oven is turned off, until normal
temperature levels have been reached.
When the oven is first
30
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. 4).

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 your dish need more heat from the top or from the
bottom adjust the shelf level as required (see Fig. 6).
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.
The fan situated behind the back panel circulates heated
air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven
at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (See Fig. 5).
If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the
lower positions, as this will give you better results.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position
(symbol : l).
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the rate at which defrosting takes place.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required temperature.
Place the oven shelf as shown in Fig. 6.
Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and
i
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.
i
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.
i
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.
