Please read these instructions before
installing and using your oven.
The oven has been designed for domestic
use only for cooking food. No asbestos has
been used in its construction.
Using for the first time
Before you use your oven for the first time,
leave it empty and, with the door closed,
turn it on to maximum temperature and let
it heat up for 15 minutes. This "runs the
oven in". During this time there may be
some smell from the mineral wool that
insulates the oven and there could be
some smoke. This is perfectly normal.
Normal use
- Always close the door properly. The oven
is fitted with a seal designed to work with a
closed door.
- Never lean or let anyone sit on the oven
door when it is open.
- The oven parts and accessories can
become hot when the door is left partially
open and the grill on. Always keep children
at a safe distance.
- When the oven is on it will get hot. Take
care not to touch the heating elements
inside the oven.
- Always protect your hands with oven
gloves or something similar when removing
food, accessories or containers from the
oven.
- Do not line your oven with kitchen foil.
The metal will increase the heat produced
and could ruin the food and damage the
enamel.
- Before carrying out the pyro-cleaning of
your oven, be sure to remove all oven
accessories and wipe away major spillage.
- Do not use a steam or high-pressure
cleaner.
- During the cleaning cycle accessible
surfaces become much hotter than during
normal cooking. Keep children at a
distance.
- Always check that the oven is off before
you clean the inside.
- For your safety your oven is equipped
with an AUTOMATIC STOP should you
inadvertently forget to turn off your oven.
After 10 hours' operation, the AS
(Automatic Stop) function is activated and
your oven stops heating. AS is displayed in
place of the time and a series of
2 successive pips is sounded for a certain
time.

Accessories
Anti-tip safety shelf
Food can either be placed on the shelf in a
dish or cake tin for cooking or browning. This
should be used for grilled meat (which should
be placed directly on it).
Multi-purpose baking tray
(reserved for pastries)
This tray has a raised edge and can be
used for baking pastries (choux buns,
meringues, small cakes, flaky pasties, etc).
Inserted in the runners under the shelf, it
catches the cooking juices and fat from
grilled meat. It can also be used half-filled
with water as a double boiler.
Joints should not be cooked in this tray
uncovered because fat could spit all over
the oven sides.
Multi-purpose baking tray
(dripping pan)
This is used to catch the cooking juices
and fat from cooking carried out in the high
grill or pulsed grill settings. It can also be
used as a cooking dish for suitably sized
joints (for example: a chicken surrounded
by vegetables, at medium temperature).
Inserted under the shelf,this pan catches
cooking juices and fat from grilled food. It
can also be used half filled with water as a
double boiler.

45 mm multi-purpose dish
Fully accessible sliding rail
system
Thanks to the new sliding rail system with
support (fully accessible) handling food is
more practical and easier as the trays can
be effortlessly removed for simpler
handling. The trays can be completely
removed, providing full access. Their
stability ensures that food can be handled
safely, reducing the risk of burns. This
means that you can take food out of the
oven far more easily. The drip tray at the
bottom of the oven collects the juice and
fat from roasting, and can be used halffilled with water as a bain-marie. Do not
place meat or poultry directly on the drip
tray for roasting. This would inevitably
produce splashes and dirty the sides of the
oven.

Installer's information
Housing
NB
The oven may be housed either under
a work surface or built into a column
that is open* or closed with a suitable
opening.
Your oven works at its best and produces
excellent results when cooking and
cleaning itself, if its air circulation is not
compromised:
• The oven must be centred in the unit so
that there is a minimum distance of 5 mm
between it and the surrounding unit.
• The housing unit or its outer surface must
be capable of withstanding heat.
• To ensure the oven rests firmly in the
housing, screw it to the housing unit using
the holes on the side uprights provided
(see diagram).
To do this:
Remove the rubber stoppers
masking the fixing holes.
To prevent the housing unit
splintering, drill two holes 3 mm in
diameter in the wall of the housing
unit opposite the fixing holes.
Attach the oven using the two
screws.
Conceal the hole using the rubber
stoppers. (These also help to
cushion the closing of the oven
door).
(*) If the housing unit is open at the back, the gap
must not be more than 70 mm.
