Important Safety Information

You MUST read these warnings carefully before installing or using the oven. If you need
assistance, contact our Customer Care Department on 08705 950950

Installation

• It is mandatory that all operations required for the
installation are carried out by a qualified or competent
person, in accordance with existing rules and
regulations.

• It is dangerous to alter the specification in any way.

• Once you have removed all packaging from the
appliance, ensure that it is not damaged and the
electric cable is in perfect condition. Otherwise, contact
your dealer before proceeding with the installation.

During use

• During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be
taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the
oven.

• This appliance has been designed for cooking edible
foodstuff only and must not be used for any other
purposes.

• Ensure that all control knobs are in the OFF position
when not in use.

• Should you connect any electrical tool to a plug near
this cooking appliance, ensure that electric cables are
not in contact with it and keep them far enough from the
heated parts of this appliance.

• If the appliance is out of order, disconnect it from the
electric supply.

• Do not leave untensils containing foodstuffs, e. g. fat, oil
or any inflammable product in or on the appliance. This
could cause damage in case the appliance is
inadvertently switched on.

• Always place the dripping pan in position to collect fat
when using the grill or when cooking meat. Pour a little
water into the dripping pan to avoid smoke and
unpleasant smells.

• Always use oven gloves to remove pans from the oven.

• For hygiene and safety reasons, this appliance should
be kept clean at all times. A build-up of fats or other
foodstuff could result in a fire.

• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply,
before carrying out any cleaning or manteinance work.

• Some parts of the appliance are covered by a shock­proof plastic film. Remove this film before using the
oven.

• Always stand back from the oven when opening

the oven door during cooking or at the end of it to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.

• Never use steam or steam machines to clean the
appliance.

• We recommend that you supervise each step of the
pyrolytic cleaning cycle. A power failure could cause a
temperature increase of the surround or cabinet which
could result in a fire.
It is important that the oven door, the door gasket, the
oven light and the cavity are in good condition to avoid
a fire.
A build-up of fat or other foodstuff could generate white
smoke, irritating for your eyes and the respiratory
system. We recommend that you stop the cleaning
cycle using the ON/OFF button to cool down the oven
cavity. Do not disconnect the appliance from the
electric supply. When the oven has cooled down
remove the food residue with a wet sponge.

• The manufacturer disclaims any responsability
should all the safety measures not be carried out.

Child Safety

• This appliance has been designed to be operated by
adults and children under supervision. Young children
must not be allowed to tamper with the controls or
play near or with the oven.

• Accessible parts of this appliance may become hot
when it is in use. Children should be kept away until
it has cooled.

Service

• Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair
the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning. Refer to your local Service Centre.
Always insist on genuine spare parts.

Environmental Information

• After installation, please dispose of the packaging
with due regard to safety and the environment.

• When disposing of an old appliance, make it unusable,
by cutting off the cable. Remove any door catches,
to prevent small children being trapped inside.

Oven features

All the oven functions are controlled by an electronic
programmer.
You can select any combination of cooking function,
cooking temperature and automatic timing.

In the event of a power failure, the programmer will
keep all the settings (time of day, programme
setting or programme in operation) for about 3
minutes. If power is not restored within 3 minutes,
all the settings will be cancelled. When the power
is restored, the numbers in the display will flash,
and the clock/timer has to be reset.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control panel,
as shown in the diagram.

The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off
to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.

The Safety Thermostat

This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

Air Circulation

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft
inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time
and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely
normal.

However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during cooking
or at the end of it to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.

When the oven is first installed

When the oven is first connected to the electrical
supply, the display will automatically show 12:00 and

press time function button two times.
Then, proceed as explained in point 1.

The On/Off Button

The oven must be off to carry out some special operation
(setting the time of day, setting the child lock).

In all other cases, the oven must be switched on before
setting any cooking function or programme.

When button is pressed, the symbol of the cooking
function selected with the oven control knob will come

on the display, and the oven light will switch on.

To switch off the oven, you can press button at any
time. Any cooking function or programme will stop, the

oven light will switch off and the time display will show
the time of day only.

Before the First Use of the Oven

Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the oven.

The oven will work only if the time of day has
been set.

Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food.
During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is
caused by residues of manufacturing.

1. Set the time of day with the electronic

programmer (see paragraph "To set the correct
time of day").

appears on the display.

Once this operation is carried out, let the oven
cool down, then clean the oven cavity with a
soft cloth soaked in warm water to which a little
mild washing-up liquid has been added.

Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash
the oven accessories.

To open the oven door, always hold the
handle in the centre.

Using the Oven

Shelf Positions

The oven shelves can be placed at different heights to
obtain better cooking results.
The levels are shown in Fig. 5.

Always cook with the oven door
closed.

• Always use oven gloves to remove and replace food
in the oven.

• Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking

trays, oven dishes, etc.

• Do not place baking trays, cake tins or aluminium foil

directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of the
oven and damage the oven enamel.

• Carefully supervise cooking with fat or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over­heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing
or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
