It is most important that the instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can be acquainted with the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings. These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You must read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

zAny installation work must be undertaken by a qualified electrician or competent person.

zInstallation and initial adjustment of your oven MUST be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with current regulations. Specific installation instructions for the installer are given in this booklet.

During use

zThis appliance has been designed for cooking edible foodstuffs only, and must not be used for any other purposes.

zAppliances become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long period after use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

zIt is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify the product in any way.

zAppliances become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long period after use.

zAlways ensure that the control knobs are in the “off” position when not in use.

zFor hygiene and safety reasons, this appliance should be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or foodstuffs could result in a fire.

zNever line any part of the oven with aluminium foil.

zEasy clean-liners (if provided) should never be cleaned with any other than soapy water.

zNever use steam or steam machines to clean the appliance.

zBefore any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out on the appliance, always turn off the isolator switch at the cooker point, and allow to cool.

zDuring oven cooking and grilling, the

appliance door and the surrounding parts are warmed up to a very high temperature. Be careful and keep children away from the appliance while you are using it. When you connect other appliances to a plug near the oven, check carefully that the wire does not touch warm parts of the oven and does not get taken in the oven door.

zEnsure that the shelves are put in place in the correct way.

zThis oven (even if it is linked to an electrical cooking table) is made to function at 230 V mono, double or three-phase with neutral.

zA polyphase linking without neutral (400 V) can induce the distruction of the oven and of the eventual cooking table.

Child safety

zThis appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

zChildren should be supervised at all times and should not be allowed to touch the hot surfaces or be in the vicinity when in use or until the appliance has cooled after use.

Technical assistance

zThis appliance should be serviced by an authorized Network Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

zUnder no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre. Always insist on genuine spare parts.

When the oven is first installed

)Once the oven has been installed:

a)set the thermostat knob to MAX;

b)allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes;

c)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.

Repeat this operation for the grill and fan cooking function.

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 oven accessories.

To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 1).

Electric oven

Oven function control knob (Fig. 2)

It enables to select the most appropriate type of heating for the different cooking requirements by appropriately connecting the heating elements and adjusting temperature to the required level.

Meaning of the symbols:

Oven lamp

50-MAX Range of temperature regulation for conventional cooking

Bottom heating element

Top heating element

To select the temperature turn the switch in a clockwise direction and place sign in front of the symbol corresponding to the temperature required, included between 50 and MAX.The temperature will be maintained constant by the thermostat.

If a different type of heating is required, for example more heat on the bottom or the top, you should turn the switch to the symbols

(heat from below) or (heat from above). In these conditions the temperature will never exceed 230°C.

Hotplate control knobs

The Control Knobs for the hotplates (Fig. 3) can be found on the oven control panel. The energy regulator of the hotplates can be set by means of a 7-position control knob:

0	=	Off
1	=	Minimum
3	=	Maximum

The intermediate positions give an increasing heating power.

Carefully supervise cookings with oil or fats, since these types of food can result in a fire, when over-heated.

Control lights

Oven thermostat control light: This light goes off when the oven heats up to the temperature set and comes on again every time the thermostat cuts in to stabilize temperature.

Operating control light: It indicates that one or more of the heating elements are turned on.

Hints and tips for using the oven

Always cook with the oven door closed.

Conventional cooking

Heat comes from the top and from the bottom, therefore it is preferable to use the central runners. If cooking requires more heat from the top or from the bottom use the top or the bottom runners.

Some hints

For baking cakes

Cakes require a moderate temperature (normallybetween150and200°C).Inaddition, the oven must be heated up beforehand - for about 10 minutes.

The oven door should not be opened before at least 3/4 of the set cooking time is up. Normal short pastry dough should be cooked in a mould or tin for 2/3 of total cooking time required and then garnished as desired before being cooked completely.

Clearly, the remaining cooking time depends on the type of garnish used (jam, fruit, etc.). Care should be taken to ensure that any dough and cake mixes are of the right consistency since an unduly moist mix lengthens cooking time unnecessarily. The raw dough or mix should therefore be fairly difficult to detach from the spoon or beater.

For cooking meat and fish

Meat cooked in the oven should weigh at least 1 kg to prevent it from becoming too dry during cooking. Very tender red meat to be cooked rare, i.e. well cooked on the outside but extremely juicy inside, requires high-temperature cooking (200-220°C).

White meat, poultry and fish instead require low-temperature cooking (150-175°C).

The ingredients for the accompanying sauce or gravy should be put in the baking pan at the very beginning only when cooking times are

short.Otherwise they should be added during the last half hour. A simple way of checking whether meat is done or not is to press it with a spoon; if the meat does not yield under this pressure it means that it is done to a turn. In the case of roast beef and fillet steaks, the inside of which should remain fairly pink in color, cooking times must be short. The meat can be cooked in a baking pan or else directly on the shelf - in this case a dripping pan must obviously be placed underneath the shelf to collect the juice. Once the meat is cooked, it is advisable to let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving so that the juice does not seep out. To prevent the formation of too much smoke in the oven during roasting, it is a good idea to pour a little water into the dripping pan and—to prevent steam—to add a little bit more during cooking if the original amount dries up too much.

Before serving, the various courses can be kept hot in the oven which should be turned down to the minimum temperature.

Attention! - Do not place objects on the bottom of the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil while cooking, as this could cause a heat build-up which would affect the baking results and damage the oven enamel.Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium foils on the grid which has been inserted in the oven shelves.

Cooking times

Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be cooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest that you take particular note of your first cooking experiments with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results.

Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate changes to values given on charts.
