• Before using the oven for the first time, remove any paper and other material inside the oven such as protecti­ve cardboard, booklets, plastic bags, etc.

• Before using for the first time, operate the oven empty with the thermostat at maximum for at least 15 minutes
to eliminate the "new" smell and any smoke caused by the presence of protective substances applied to the ele­ments before transport. During this operation, ventilate the room.

IMPORTANT: when you have unpacked the appliance, make sure the door is undamaged and working correctly.
The door is made from glass and is therefore fragile. If it is visibly chipped, scored or scratched, it should be
replaced. While using, cleaning or moving the appliance, avoid slamming or knocking the door violently. Do not
pour cold liquid onto the glass while the appliance is hot.

• When in operation, the door and accessible external surfaces could become very hot. Always use the knobs,

handles and buttons. Never touch metal parts or the glass. Use oven gloves if necessary.

• This electrical appliance operates at high temperatures which could cause burns.

• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con­cerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.

• Do not move the appliance while in use.

• Do not use the appliance if…

- the power cable is faulty,

- the appliance has been dropped, is visibly damaged or malfunctions.

Should this occur, to avoid all risk take the appliance to your nearest authorised service centre.

• Do not let the power cable dangle and avoid touching hot parts of the oven. Never unplug the appliance by
pulling on the power cable.

• If you intend to use an extension, make sure it is in good condition, that the plug is earthed and that the cross
section of the wires is at least equal to that of the power cable provided with the appliance.

USING THE OVEN
General tips

• When cooking with the convection oven, traditional oven and grilling, always preheat the oven for 5
minutes to the set temperature, so as to achieve best results.

• The cooking times depend on the quality of the products, on the temperature of the food and on perso­nal tastes. The times indicated in the table are purely indicative and subject to variation, and do not inclu­de the time required to preheat the oven.

• To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on the product packaging.

If your oven comes with a diet grill:

we suggest cooking chicken and roasts directly on the diet grill which rests directly on
the dripping tray (see fig. on side) to avoid fat dripping to the bottom of the oven and
on to the walls. Refer to the following paragraphs for further details.

Defrosting (*)

For proper defrosting in a short time, proceed as follows:

• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.

• Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “•” position.

• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time.

• Place the wire rack (I) in the lower guide (as shown in the figure on page 4) and rest the food to be defro­sted on a tray on the wire rack, then close the door.

Example of defrosting: 1 kg of meat, 80-90 minutes without turning it over.

Delicate cooking

Ideal for pastry and cakes with icing. Good results are also achieved when completing the cooking of the
bottom of the foods or for cooking that requires heat above all at the bottom.

• Place the wire rack (with a pan on it) in the lower guide, as shown in the figure on page 4.

• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.

• Select the required temperature using the thermostat knob (A).

• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time. At the end of the set time, an audible signal will be emitted;
if cooking is complete before the end of the set time, turn the Timer knob (B) manually to the “0” position.

Keeping food warm

• Turn the thermostat knob (A) to the “60°C” position.

• Turn the function selector knob (D) to the position.

• Turn the Timer knob (B) to the desired time.

• Place the wire rack (I) in the lower guide (as shown in the figure on page 4) and rest the dish with the
food on the rack.

Food should not be left in the oven for long periods. Always cover with tinfoil to prevent it drying out.

Convection oven cooking (*)

This function is ideal for baking excellent pizzas, lasagna, “au gratin” dishes, all types of meat dishes (apart
from small poultry), roast potatoes, cakes in general and bread.

Comments and tips

Cooking on 2 levels at the same time with the convection oven (*)

The convection oven function allows different foods to be cooked at the
same time, placed on 2 levels.
The heat provided by the 2 heating elements is distributed inside the
oven by the air, circulated by the fan.
In this way, the heat reaches every part of the oven uniformly and
quickly; the air inside the oven is very dry, preventing the mixing of fra­grances and flavours.

To cook two dishes at the same time, simply observe these simple gene­ral rules.

1. The cooking times for recipes cooked at the same time are higher
than the times when cooked alone.

2. Around halfway through cooking, exchange the position of the 2
dripping pans, placing the top one on the lower wire rack and vice­versa.

In addition, turn the dripping pans half-way around.

Note: the wire racks must be positioned as shown in the figure to the
side.

top heating element

bottom heating element

Grilling

- Insert the wire rack as shown in the figure on page 4. We suggest pouring two glasses of water into the
dripping tray so as t avoid smoke and bad odors resulting from burning fat, and for ease in cleaning.

- Turn the function selector dial to position .

- Preheat the oven for about 5 minutes.

- Place food inside.

- Shut the door panel only until the first click, as shown in the diagram on the side.

- Turn the timer knob (B) on the desired time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odours during cooking. Do not let fat accumu­late inside the appliance. Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the oven and wait for it to
cool down. Clean the door, the inside walls and the enamel or painted surfaces of the oven with a soap and
water solution; dry thoroughly. To clean the aluminium surfaces on the inside of the oven, never use products
that corrode aluminium (detergents in spray cans) and never scrape the walls with sharp objects. To clean the
outside surface always use a damp sponge. Avoid using abrasive products that may damage the paintwork.
Make sure water or liquid soap does not seep into the slits on the top of the oven. Never immerse the
appliance in water; never wash it under a jet of water. All the accessories are washed like normal dishes,
either by hand or in the dishwasher.

Some models come with a bottom opening-panel for easier access as well as cleaning, open the panel by
pressing on the spring-latch (fig.A) , position the oven on its back (vertically) (fig.B). In this manner, your clea­ning will be easier. Once cleaning is finished, close the panel and make sure that the latch is well closed.
