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.

FO 2456
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.

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.
Proceed as follows:
a) open the oven door completely;
b) find the hinges linking the door to the oven (fig
F
7);
c) unlock and turn the small levers located on the
two hinges (fig. 7);
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. 7);
f) place it on a steady plan;
g) unscrew the two screws marked with lett. A
fig.8;
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.

Building In
It is important that the dimensions and materials of the
surround or cabinet into which the oven will be built are
correct and will withstand a temperature increase.
A correct installation will have to ensure a proper protection
against contact with electric parts or merely functionally
isolated parts.
All the units meant to ensure protection have to be fitted
not to be taken away without using any tool.
We recommed not to install the appliance near refrigerators
or freezer, since the heat could affect the performance of
these appliances.

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.13).
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.
