ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (only for UK)

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a

13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut
off from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as
below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere
in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must
be protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted
when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to
BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must
NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained
from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct
replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the
plug.

B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the

instructions provided below:

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the fol­lowing code:

Green and yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the
plug marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured
green or green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the let­ter N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the
letter L or coloured red.

Place the food being grilled directly on the wire rack (Figure 1) and close the door, leaving it ajar, as shown
in Figure 2; remember to turn the food half way through cooking.

Important: for best results, place the food on the wire rack (I), leaving an empty space of around 2 cm
near the door (see Figure1).

To top-brown casseroles with crumb or cheese toppings, place the shallow pan directly in slot 1; if the food has
been prepared on a container, put the container on the wire rack inserted in slot 2 (as shown in the figure

This feature is designed to keep foods warm, after they are cooked for short periods of time without over­cooking. We do not recommend keeping foods warm for prolunged periods or using this feature to reheat
frozen or cold foods.

KEEPING FOOD WARM

Place the dripping pan or the wire rack with a pan on top (the lasagne pan, if supplied, may also be used)
in guide no. 3, as shown in the figure on page 25. This function is used to keep the food warm until serving.
The food should not be left in the oven too long, as it may become too dry (to avoid this, cover the pan with
tinfoil or baking paper).

3 Set the time (max 2 hours) by

pressing the “-” (12) and “+”
(18) buttons. Keep the button
pressed for more than 2 sec­onds to quickly scroll the time
up or down. For each press of
the button the time will
increase or decrease by one 1
minute.

Put the frozen food directly on the WIRE RACK (

I) inserted in slot 2. Put the SHALLOW PAN (H) in slot 3 in
order to catch the water dropping from the load during the defrosting process (see page 25).
Portions and pieces of raw meat, poultry and fish, frozen soups, pastry, fruit or leftovers will thaw more
quickly on this setting than on a counter or in the refrigerator.
Thaw only pieces or portions small enough to thaw in an hour or less and do not let food come to room
temperature. Thawed food held too long or at a warm temperature can cause serious illenss.
Large amounts of food should be defrosted in a refrigerator.

DEFROSTING

Place the wire rack in guide no. 2 and the dripping pan in guide no. 3, as shown in the figure on page 25.
The food being defrosted should be placed directly on the wire rack. If this is not possible for practical rea­sons (such as in the case of minced meat, which once defrosted may fall between the openings in the wire
rack), place the food on a dinner plate, and then place the plate on the wire rack (in this case, the dripping
pan is not required).

3 Set the time (max 3 hours) by

pressing the “-” (12) and “+”
(18) buttons. Keep the button
pressed for more than 2 sec­onds to quickly scroll the time
up or down. For each press of

• Always put the pizza on the PIZZA TRAY (

L) provided; then insert the tray in slot 3.

• Frozen pizza: remove the pizza from its packaging and put the pizza directly on the PIZZA TRAY (

L).

Home - made pizza with fresh dough: prepare the pizza on the well greased PIZZA TRAY (

L) or line the
tray with oven-proof paper. We suggest to add mozzarella or soft cheese just five minutes before the
end of cooking: the cheese will melt perfectly without overburning.

This oven is programmed with a special pizza function from De'Longhi. The program is designed for the cook­ing of both fresh or frozen pizzas. Pizza can be cooked using the De' Longhi pizza tray provided.
Important Note:

Always position pizza in the lowest guide (see page 24). Using the pizza program, remember

that it is NOT necessary to preheat the oven.

COOKING TWO PIZZAS AT ONCE

Note: The Special pizza program is intended only for cooking one pizza at a time, following the instruction above. Cook­ing two pizzas at once: The special pizza setting cannot be used for cooking two pizzas. However, you can get very
good results with two pizzas following these directions:
Rest the pizza on the pizza tray inserted in slot 3 and the other on the wire rack inserted in slot 2. Use Fan/Bake setting
(not special pizza setting ) and PREHEAT to 180°C degrees. Cook for 15 minutes an then switch the racks to opposite
positions for an additional 10-15 minutes of additional cooking time.

3.1 - CARE AND CLEANING

Always unplug the oven-broiler and allow it to cool
before cleaning.

This unit has been designed and
engineered with your safety in mind. To assure maximum
safe operation, keep unit clean free of grease and build up
of food particles.

The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special
enamel to which splashes and food particles do not stick,
thus making cleaning particularly simple. Do not clean
interior with metal scouring pads.

Pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, creating
risk of electrical shock.

To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or a damp
cloth. Wripe dry with a clean cloth. To clean the exterior
finish, use a damp, sudsy cloth. For stubborn stains, a non­abrasive liquid cleaner or spray glass cleaner may be
used. Do not use metal scouring pads, as they might mar
the finish. Always remove cleaning agents by polishing
with a dry cloth.

Slide the crumb tray (

G) out from under the bottom of your
oven (see fig. 11). Wash by hand. Should the soilage be
difficult to remove, rinse the crumb tray with hot soapy
water and if necessary, scour it delicately, without
scratching it.

To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the
upper heating element (

A) can be lowered by pulling the

clasp for drop down heating element (C) (fig. 12-13).

IMPORTANT: after cleaning, reposition and reattach the
electrical element (fig. 14).

The oven must be not used

with the element in the lowered positioned.

OVEN LIGHT

The oven light (B) is always on when the oven is on. To
replace the bulb, proceed as follows:

• unplug the appliance from the power socket

• unscrew the protective glass cover (X), by turning it

anti-clockwise, and replace the bulb (

Y) with a new one
of the same type (see Fig. 15). Replace the protective
glass cover (

X).

Only use bulbs suitable for ovens (T300°C)

N.B. The oven can still be used even if the bulb is burnt­out
