INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installation
Check that the input voltage indicated on the characteristics plate is the same as the voltage of the power outlet you are going to use. Open the oven door and take out all the accessories and remove the packing material. Warning! The front surface of the oven may be covered in a protective film. Before using the oven for the first time, carefully remove this film, starting on the inside. Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any way. Check that the oven door closes correctly and that the interior of the door and the front of the oven opening are not damaged. If you find any damage contact our Customer Care Centre. DO NOT USE THE OVEN if the power cable or the plug is damaged, if the oven does not function correctly or if it has been damaged or dropped. Contact our Customer Care Centre. Put the oven on a flat and stable surface. The oven must not be installed close to any sources of heat, radios or televisions. During installation, make sure that the power cable does not come into contact with any moisture or objects with sharp edges and the back of the oven. High temperatures can damage the cable. Warning: after the oven is installed you must make sure you can access the plug.
After installation
The oven is equipped with a power cable and a plug for single phase (household) current, 230 - 240V ~ 50Hz. If the oven is to be installed on a permanent basis it must be installed by a qualified technician. In such a case, the oven should be connected to a circuit with an all-pole circuit breaker with a minimum separation of 3 mm between contacts.
WARNING: THE OVEN MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer and retailers do not accept responsibility for any damage that may be caused to persons, animals or property if these installation instructions are not observed. The oven only functions when the door is closed correctly. Before the first use, clean the inside of the oven and the accessories, following the cleaning instructions given in the “Oven cleaning” section.
During installation, follow the instructions supplied separately.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning! Do not leave the oven unsupervised. Warning! If you see smoke or fire, keep the door closed in order to smother
the flames. Switch off the oven and take the plug out of the socket or cut off the oven power supply. Overheated fat and oil can easily catch fire. Heating oil in the cooking space to sear meat is dangerous and should not be done. Never try to extinguish burning oil or fat with water (danger of explosion)! Smother the flames with a damp cloth and keep all doors and windows closed. Warning! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Warning! During use the appliance becomes very hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven. RISK OF BURNS! Warning! Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away. Warning! When opening the door during or upon completion of the cooking cycle, be careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam and water drops coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back or to the side to avoid burns. Warning! Make sure you never catch the power cables of other electrical appliances in the hot door or the oven. The cable insulation may melt.
Danger of short-circuiting.

This oven is exclusively for domestic use! The appliance is designed for use in the home for preparing food. No liability is assumed for any damage caused by improper or incorrect use. Avoid damaging the oven or other dangerous situations by following these instructions:
Do not cover or obstruct the ventilation openings.
Do not keep any inflammable object inside the oven as it may burn if the
oven is switched on.
Do not use the oven as a pantry.
Do not pour spirits (e.g. brandy, whisky, schnapps, etc.) over hot food.
Danger of explosion!
Accessories such as Wire shelfs and trays, etc. get hot in the cooking space. Always wear protective gloves or use oven cloths.
To avoid being burnt, always use oven gloves for handling dishes and containers and touching the oven.
Do not lean or sit on the open oven door. This may damage the oven, especially in the hinge zone. The door can bear a maximum weight of 8 kg.
The Wire shelfs can bear a maximum load of 8 kg. To avoid damaging the oven, do not exceed this load.
Cleaning:
The appliance will remain hot for some time after it is switched off and cool down only slowly to room temperature. Please allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before, for instance, cleaning it.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
The door contact surfaces (the front of the cooking space and the inside part of the door) must be kept very clean in order to ensure the oven functions correctly.
Please follow the instructions regarding cleaning in the section “Oven Cleaning and Maintenance”.
Repairs:
If the power cable is damaged it should be substituted by the manufacturer, authorised agents or technicians qualified for this task in order to avoid dangerous situations. Furthermore, special tools are required for this task.

WHEN THE OVEN IS WORKING
Interrupting a cooking cycle
You can stop the cooking process at any time by pressing
the Cancel key once.
The oven incorporates a steam-reduction function that is activated when the Cancel key is pressed to gradually release the steam from the cavity, so that there is no sudden rush of steam when the appliance door is opened. This function takes around 3 minutes and during it the display shows the word “VAP”.
Warning! When opening the door during or upon completion of the cooking cycle, be careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back or to the side to avoid burns. At this point:
The steam generation is interrupted.
The cavity walls and the water tank are still very hot. Danger of burning!
The timer stops and the display shows the remaining operating time (if this
has been set).
If you wish, at this point you can:
1. Turn or stir the food to ensure it will be evenly cooked.
2. Change the cooking parameters.
To restart the process, close the door and press the
Start key.
Altering parameters
The operating parameters (duration and temperature) can be altered when the oven is operating or when the cooking process has been interrupted by proceeding as follows:
1. To alter the duration
immediately valid.
2. To alter the temperature
display and respective light start to flash. Alter the parameter by pressing the “+” and “–” keys and confirm by pressing the Parameter Selection key again.

At the end of the set duration or when you press the Cancel key twice to finish the cooking cycle the oven
starts the steam-reduction function.
This function gradually releases the steam from the cavity, so that there is no sudden rush of steam when the appliance door is opened. This function takes around 3 minutes and during it the display shows the word “VAP”. At the end of this process you will hear three beeps and the display will show the word “End”.
21
When the oven is Working
Warning! When opening the door during or upon completion of the cooking cycle, be careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back or to the side to avoid burns.
The beeps are repeated every 30 seconds until the door is opened or the Stop key is pressed. The cooling fan can continue to run for a certain length of time after the appliance has been switched off. This is a normal function that is meant to reduce the temperature inside the oven. When the display shows the word “DEP”, this means that the water was pumped and that the water tank can be removed. Remove the water tank and dry it thoroughly. Let the cooking space cool down for a moment and then clean and dry it with a cloth. The door should be left open for some time so that the appliance can dry completely.
Steam Flow
It is normal to have an intermittent steam flow, coming out from the oven front. This is especially noticeable in winter time or in high moisture environments.
Residual water in the oven
To reduce the residual water in the oven, it is recommended to insert a tray in the bottom rack level. The condensation released from the food begins to drip, reducing the residual water in the appliance. The remaining residual water can be easily dried with a cloth.
