A dedicated power circuit is recommended for the unit but not required.Additional electrical
appliances on the same circuit may exceed the current(amperage)rating for that circuit.If after
the installation of your unit.the circuit breaker trips or the fuse fails on a repeated basis,then
a dedicated circuit will likely be required.

!The appliance must be installed only by a qualified person in compliance with the

instructions provided.Incorrect installation may cause harm to persons,animals or may

HOW TO SAVE ENERGY

Using energy in a respon­sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment.So let's save
energy!And this is how you
can do it:

Do not open the oven door unnecessarily

!

often.
! Switch off the oven in good time and

make use of residual heat.

For long cooking times,switch off oven

5 to 10 minutes before finishing

This saves up to 20% on energy.

Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.

Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
! Make use of residual heat from the

oven.

If the cooking time is greater than 40
minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes

before the end time.

cooking,

Important!When using the timer,set
appropriately shorter cooking times
according to the dish being
prepared.

! Make sure the oven door is properly

closed.

Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals.Clean up any spillages immediately.

! Do not install the cooker in the direct

vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.

Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

INSTALLATION

!The kitchen area should be dry and aired

and equipped with efficient ventillation.
When installing the oven,easy access to
all control elements should be ensured.

!This is a built-in oven, and its back wall

and one side wall can be placed next to a
high piece of furniture or a wall.Coating
or veneer used on fitted furniture must be
applied with a heat-resistant adhesive
(100℃).This prevents surface deforma­tion or detachment of the coating.

! Make an opening with the dimensions

given in the diagram for the oven to be
fitted.

!Make sure the mains plug is disconnected

and then connect the oven to the mains
supply.

!Insert the oven completely into the open-

INSTALLATION

Electrical connection

Warning!

All electrical work should be carried out by a
suitably qualified and authorised electrician.

No alterations or wilful changes in the electric-

ity supply should be carried out.

Fitting guidelines

The oven is manufactured to work with

three-phase alternating current (220V-

240V/50Hz).The connection diagram is also

found on the cover of the connection box.
Remem-ber that the connection wire should

match the connection type and the power

rating of the oven.

The connection cable must be secured in a
strain-relief clamp.

Warning!

Remember to connect the safety circuit to the
connection box terminal marked with .The
electricity supply for the oven must have a
safety switch which enables the power to be
cut off in case of emergency.The distance
between the working contacts of the safety
switch must be at least 3 mm.
Before connecting the oven to the power

supply it is important to read the informa-

tion on the data plate and the connection
diagram.

Oven functions and operation.

Natural convection oven
(conventional)

The oven can be heated up using the bot­tom and top heaters.The oven is controlled
by one knob handling,serving as a work
type switch integrated with a temperature
regulator.

On and off

In order to switch on the oven you need to:

!Set required working conditions of the

oven,its temperature and a mode of
heating.

!Set the knob to the required position,turn-

ing it right.

Using the minute minder

The minute minder can be used independently

of an oven cooking function for a time period

of up to 120 minutes.

To set the timer, turn the knob fully clockwise

until it stops and then turn it back
anticlockwise to the required time.

The time period that has been set will expire
when the control knob reaches zero, a brief
audible signal will sound.

Selecting manual operation mode

Before you can select a cooking function
or set a temperature, you must set the

appliance into manual operation mode.

Turn the manual operation control knob
anti-clockwise, so that it points at the

manual operation symbol.

Possible settings of the oven function
knob

Separate oven lighting

By setting the knob to this posi-
tion the lighting inside the oven is
switched on, e.g. use when washing
the oven chamber.

Caution!

At this oven function knob position,

when setting the temperature regula­tor to a position other than zero,the
red light may go on,although the oven

is not being warmed up.

Grill with fan On

Excellent combination for cooki­ng spitroasted chicken,game and
a variety of roasts.

Central element with fan On

This cooking mode allows homogen­ous distribution of the heat inside the
oven,making it possible to cook sev­eral items of food at the same time.

Grill heater on

Setting the knob to this position
allows dishes to be grilled on

the grate.

Switching on the oven is indicated by two
signal lights,yellow and red,turning on.The

yellow light tutned on means the oven is work-

ing.If the red light goes out,it means the oven
has reached the set temperature.If a recipe
recommends placing dishes in a warmed-up
oven,this should be not done before the red

light goes out for the first time.When baking,
the red light will temporarily come on and go

out(to maintain the temperature inside the
oven).The yellow signal light may also turn
on at the knob postion of "oven chamber
lighting".

OPERATION

Fast oven heat-up

In ovens with automatic air circulation,
equipped with a fan and an ultra-fan heater,
the fast heat-up function may be used-the
oven will reach a temperature of 150℃within
approximately 4 minutes.

Mode of operation:

!set the oven function to the position of

ultra-fan and bottom heater,

!set the temperature regulator knob to the

position of 150℃,

!the oven warms up to the temperature of

150℃(or lower if set);the oven reaching
the temperature is signalled by the red
light of the temperature regulator going
off,

!now put the tray with dough into the

oven,

!set the oven function knob to the selected

heating mode,(see the chapter Baking in
the oven-practical hints).

Important!

When the fast oven heat-up func­tion has been selected, the chamber
should not contain a baking tray with
dough or other elements that do not
constitute the oven fittings.

The fast heat-up function is not recom­mended for use with the programmer
set.

Use of the grill

The grilling process operates through infrared
rays emitted onto the dish by the incandes­cent grill heater.

In order to switch on the grill you need to:

!set the oven knob to the position marked

with

!heat the oven for approximately 5 minutes

(with the oven door shut).

!insert a tray with a dish onto the appropri-

ate cooking level ,and if you are grilling
on the grate insert a tray for dripping on
the level immediately below (under the
grate).

!the oven door shut.

For grilling and combined grill the
temperature must be set to 250℃,
but for the grill function with fan
it must be set to a maximum of 200℃.

Caution!

The grill should be used with the oven
door shut.

When the grill is in use ,accessible
parts can become hot.
It is recommended to keep children
away from the oven.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

▲

Door removal

In order to obtain easier access to the oven
chamber for cleaning , it is possible to remove
the door, To do this ,tilt the safety catch part of
the hinge upwards. Close the door lightly, lift
and pull it out towards you. In order to fit the
door back on to the cooker, do the inverse.
When fitting ,ensure that the notch of the
hinge is correctly placed on the protrusion
of the hinge holder. After the door is fitted to
the oven ,the safety catch should be carefully
lowered down again. If the safety catch is not
set it may cause damage to the hinge when
closing the door.

Roasting meat

! cook meat weighing over 1 kg in the oven, but smaller pieces should be cooked on

the gas burners.

! use heatproof ovenware for roasting with handles that are also resistant to high

temperatures;

! when roasting on the drying rack or the grate we recommend that you place a baking

tray with a small amount of water on the lowest level of the oven;

! It is advisable to turn the meat over at least once during the roasting time and during

roasting you should also baste the meat with its juices or with hot salty water-do

not pour cold water over the meat.
