How To Use Your Appliance

The＂Maxi oven＂oven combines in a single appliance the advantages of traditional convection ovens with

those of modern forced air ventilation ovens. It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily

and safely choose between 9 different cooking modes. The selection of the various functions can be obtained

by putting the programmer to the manual position

When the selector knob is in any position other than the “0”position, the oven light comes on.

Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the highest setting

and leave the oven on for about a half an hour with nothing in it. Then, open the oven door an let the room air.

The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used t

the oven during storage and until it’s installed.

Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly

over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their

respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack levels can be used at the same time.

This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require an extended cooking time

Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts.

This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weigh for the roast.

The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a

limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. The ventilated mode c

How to keep Your Oven in Good Condition

Important: Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance, disconnect it from the power supply.

To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

◎ Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

◎ The enamelled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive

powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them; Stainless steel could get s

are difficult to remove, use special products available to rinse thoroughly and dry.

◎ The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned shortly after use, when it is still warm, with hot

water and soap; the soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive

detergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as

li

mescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly

tough to remove, use a special product for oven cleaning, following the instructions provided on the

tained. If these Stains

◎ If you use your oven for an extended period of time, condensation may form. Wipe it using a soft cloth.
◎ There is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the

condition of this seal on a regular basis. When necessary, clean it and avoid using abrasive products or

objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We

recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

◎ Never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the consequent accumulation of heat could

compromise the cooking and even damage the enamel.

◎ Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

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.

Inside the oven door:

Clean the surface with a cloth moistened with hot water and non abrasive liquid detergent, then rinse and dry

thoroughly.

Replacing the Lamp in the Oven

or by removing the plug if it is accessible;

◎ Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder;
◎ Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high-temperature lamp (300 ℃ ) with the

following characteristics:

- Voltage: AC230V

- Wattage: 25W

- Socket: G29

◎ Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance to the power supply.

WA R N IN G :Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of

electric shock.
