TECHNICAL FEATURES

This oven has special operating features.
5 different functions can be used to satisfy all cooking needs; it also has a pyrolytic

function which can clean the oven cavity at high temperature, a defrost function and
an oven light function.

The functions are managed by an electronic programmer which keeps the temperature
set constant by means of a probe inside the oven cavity.

The oven has the following heating elements:

• Lower heating element (double) 500 + 1300 W

• Upper heating element 1000 W

• Grill heating element 2000 W

• Circular heating element 2200 W (only in multifunction pyrolytic ovens)

How to use the pyrolytic oven

2

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the multifunction pyrolytic oven takes place as follows:

• by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

• by forced convection (only in multifunction pyrolytic ovens)

A fan sucks in the air contained in the oven, which circulates it through the circular
heating element and then forced back into the oven by the fan. Before the hot air is
sucked back again by the fan to repeat the described cycle, it envelops the food in
the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking. It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.

• by semi-forced convection (only in plurifunction pyrolytic ovens)

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout
the oven by the fan.

• by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

• by radiation and fan (only in multifunction or plurifunction pyrolytic ovens
without turnspit)

The radiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven
by the fan.

• by double radiation and fan

The fan distributes the heat radiated by the grill heating element and the upper heating
element in the oven.

• by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

• by pyrolysis

The heat produced by the heating elements cleans the internal oven cavity removing
all residue of grease.

THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION

7

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children away.

A cooling fan starts automatically when the temperature inside the oven cavity is
higher than 100°C and stops when the temperature drops below 100°C. For the
pyrolytic function only, it starts immediately the pyrolytic cycle starts.
The purpose of this fan is to reduce the temperature inside/outside the appliance.

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

- Put in the shelves and trays.

- Switch the oven on empty (on a cooking function – NOT PYROLYSIS) at maximum power

for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from the components.

- When the oven has cooled down and unplugging it, clean the inside of the oven with a

cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it perfectly.

Note: The first time the oven is used or after a black-out the
programmer must be started by pressing keys 2 and 3 simul­taneously. See the chapter on the use of the electronic pro­grammer.

PYROLYSIS FUNCTION

IMPORTANT NOTES:
This is not a cooking function but is only used to clean the oven.

Before starting the pyrolytic cycle:

- Take all the accessories out of the oven (drip tray and shelves). If the oven
has an anti-grease filter unhook and remove it, as described on page 30.

- Clean any traces of liquid which have overflowed.

- Close the oven door and make sure that it is closed properly.

If there are cracks or flaws on the oven door glass (inside/outside) or if the
gaskets are ruined or worn or if the door does not close perfectly, unplug the
appliance and contact the After-Sales Service Centre.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• In this function the residual cooking greases on the inside walls of the oven cavity are
pulverised by the high temperature. The fumes produced during this process are filtered
by a special catalyst in the upper part of the appliance.

• Smells and fumes produced during pyrolysis are not a cause of alarm. Adequate ven-
tilation should however be provided in the room where the oven is installed, e.g. by ope­ning a window.

• Do not wait for the oven to be very greasy before performing this cleaning. It should
not be performed after every cooking, either, but only when the level of dirt justifies it
(on average 1 – 2 times a month depending on oven use).

• For safety reasons (high temperature of the oven cavity), when the pyrolysis starts the
oven is automatically locked by an electronic device (on the control panel the pilot light
with key symbol lights up). The door can no longer be opened and is only unlocked at
the end of the cleaning cycle or, stopping the cycle, when the oven cavity has cooled
to a temperature lower than 300°C.

• When the pyrolytic function starts an internal fan starts automatically to cool the oven
walls. It only stops at the end of the cycle, when the oven cavity temperature has dropped
below 100°C.

• The procedures for starting, stopping and completing the pyrolysis cycle and dealing
with any problems are described in the following chapters:

- “How to start the pyrolysis cycle”

- “Problems in starting and during the pyrolysis cycle”

- “How to stop the pyrolysis cycle”

- “What to do when the pyrolysis cycle has finished”

- “Abnormal situations and/or operating problems”

• Caution: during the pyrolytic cycle the accessible parts may become hot. Keep
children away.

12

The temperature set is shown on the electronic program­mer display and can be varied, with 5°C intervals, by
means of the programmer keys.
During the cooking the oven temperature is measured by
a sensor inside the cavity and is shown on the programmer
display.
