Hints and Tips
When the oven is first installed
The oven will work only if the time of day has been set (please read the relevant instructions).
Once the oven has been installed:
)
a) set the thermostat knob to “MAX”; 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. 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.

Oven Function (Fig. 1) and Thermostat (Fig. 2) control knobs
They enable 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.
Oven Light - The oven light will be on without any cooking function
Conventional cooking - The heat comes from both the top and bottom element, ensuring even heating inside the oven.
Top heating element - The heat comes from the top of the oven only.
Bottom heating element - The heat comes from the bottom of the oven only.
Inner grill element only - can be used for grilling small quantities.
Double Grill - The full grill element will be on.
Thermal Grilling - This function offers an alternative method of cooking food items, normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food.
When using this function, select a maximum temperature of 200°C.
Fan cooking - This allows you to roast or roast and bake simoultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference.
Defrost Setting - This setting is intended to assist in thawing of frozen food.

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.
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.
Fig. 3
Safety thermostat
In order to avoid excessive overheating due to incorrect use of the appliance or else to a faulty component, the oven is equipped with a safety thermostat which cuts off the power supply if necessary. Operation is restored automatically when the oven temperature decreases to normal values. Therefore, if the thermostat cuts in because you have not been using the appliance correctly, the oven can be used again simply by waiting for the appliance to cool down. If, instead, the thermostat cuts in because of a faulty component, you should call the Service Department.

Hints and tips for using the oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
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.
Fan cooking
The food is cooked by means of preheated air force blown evenly round the inside of the oven by a fan set on the rear wall of the oven itself. Heat thus reaches all parts of the oven evenly and fast and this means that you can simultaneously cook different types of foods positioned on the various oven shelves (Fig. 4). Fan cooking ensures rapid elimination of moisture and the dryer oven environment stops the different aromas and flavours from being transmitted from one food to another. The possibility of cooking on several shelf heights means that you can cook several different dishes at the same
time and up to three tins of biscuits and mini pizzas to be eaten immediately or subsequently deep frozen. Naturally the oven can also be used for cooking on just one shelf. In this case you should use the lowest set of runners so that you can keep an eye on progress more easily. In addition, the oven is particularly recommended for sterilizing preserves, cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for drying mushrooms or fruit.
Grilling
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.
Thermal grilling
When using this function, select a maximum temperature of 200°C.
The full grill element and the oven fan operate alternately, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.

Some hints
For baking cakes
Cakes require a moderate temperature (normally between 150 and 200°C). In addition, 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. If three shelves are filled with cakes and tarts simultaneously, it is advisable to slot in an extra shelf between the two lower shelves (Fig. 4).
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
58
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. Should you cook very fat food, place the meat directly on the grill and the grill over the dripping pan in order not to dirty the oven. 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.
Warning! - Do not attempt to place objects on the bottom of the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil while cooking, as you can damage the enamelled surfaces and the food you are cooking. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium foils on 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.

Grease Filter
When cooking meat, the grease filter must be fitted over the oven fan by clipping it over the vents in the back panel (Fig. 5). This will prevent a built­up of fat on the fan impellor. Do not use abrasive materials to clean the seal. The grease filter is dishwasher proof.When cooking is completed and the oven has cooled down, remove the filter by pushing the protruding tongue on the filter upward. Wash the filter after use using warm soapy water.
Fit the grease filter only when roasting.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Before any cleaning switch the oven off and let it cool down.
Never use steam or steam machines to clean the appliance. Important! Before carrying out maintenance and cleaning operations, make sure that your oven is disconnected from the mains power supply.
Cleaning must be carried out after the oven has cooled down. Wash the enamelled parts with lukewarm water and detergent. Do not use abrasive products, such as steel wool pads, acids etc. since these could damage the various surfaces. Rinse stainless steel parts with water after use, and dry them with a soft cloth or chamois leather. In the case of persistent stains, you can use normal non-abrasive detergents or products specific for stainless steel readily available on the market. Another alternative is a drop of hot vinegar. When cleaning the oven door with the glass top cover use just hot water, taking care to avoid using coarse cloths or abrasive products. The hot acids of fruit (e.g. Iemons, stewed prunes, etc.) leave difficult-to-remove stains on the enamelled surfaces; this inconvenient may remove enamel gloss, but, it does not impair oven operation. Clean the oven thoroughly after use; in this way it will be possible to remove cooking residuals more easily, thus avoiding these from burning the next time the oven is used.
Models in stainless steel or aluminium:
We recommend to clean the oven door using only a wet sponge and dry it up after cleaning with a soft cloth. Never use steel wool, acids or abrasive products as they can damage the oven surface. Clean the oven control panel following the same precautions.
61
Replacing the oven light
Disconnect the appliance from its power supply point. Push in and unscrew the glass cap (Fig. 6). Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a new heat-proof bulb (300°C) having the following features: - Operative tension: 230 V (50 Hz); - Power: 25 W; ­Fitting: E 14. Reconnect the appliance.
Oven door cleaning
For a better cleansing of the oven door, you are suggested to remove it from the appliance with the following procedure:
- open tho door completely; lift the small levers placed on the two hinges and turn the levers towarde the inside (Fig. 7).
- Slowly close the oven door, until it touches the two levers,
- then push it towards the oven and remove it by pulling it towards the outside.
- Place the door on a horizontal level.
After cleaning, assemble the door again by carrying out the procedure described above backwards. When the two small levers are placed again on the hinges, the door will have been accurately fit.

Instructions for the installer
The instructions given below are designed specifically for a qualified installer and should aid him or her to perform all installation, adjustment, and maintenance operations with absolute precision and in compliance with all current legislation and regulations. We strongly recommend that all operations for the installation of your cooker be carryed out by Qualified Personnel in accordance with existing rules and regulations.
Electrical connection
Prior to making the electrical connection, make sure that: — the protection fuse and the domestic wiring
system are suitable to carry the total electric load of the oven (see rating plate);
— your domestic wiring system has an
efficient earth connection in compliance with rules and laws in force;
— the wall socket or the omnipole switch used
for the electrical connection can easily be
reached after the oven is built in. 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 you require a direct connection to the electric network (mains), it will be necessary to fit between the appliance and the mains an omnipole switch, with a minimum gap between contacts of 3 mm, suitable for the required load and in compliance with rules in force. The green & yellow ground wire must not be interrupted by the switch and it should be 2-3 cm longer than the phase and neutral wires. The supply cable must in all cases be laid out in such a way as to ensure that it does not reach at
any given point a temperature 50°C higher than the ambient temperature. Suitable power supply cables are the following types, considering the respective necessary section of cable: H07 RN-F, H05 RN-F, H05 RR-F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90), H05 BB-F.
Connecting the terminal board
The appliance incorporates an easily accessible 6-pole terminal board whose jumpers (bridges) are already pre-set for operation on 400V tri-phase with neutral wire (Fig. 8). In case a different mains voltage is present, the jumpers on the terminal board must be rearranged as shown in the diagram (Fig. 9). The ground cable must be
connected to terminal . After connecting the supply cable to the terminal board,
secure it with a junction clamp.

Building-in
To ensure correct operation of the built-in assembly, the kitchen cabinet and the recess for the built-in appliance must have suitable dimensions. When the appliance is fitted-in, there must be no open spaces left and it must be closed on all sides by the kitchen furniture to prevent the possibility of inadvertently touching “live” (current carrying) parts of the oven. All parts ensuring such a protection, including any covering panel (for instance, if the appliance is installed at the end or at the beginning of a kitchen counter) must be fastened in such a way as to prevent removal of the same without the aid of some tool. This appliance can be placed with its back and with one side close to appliances or walls of higher height. The other side, instead, must be placed close to furniture or appliances, having the same height.
