1. WARNINGS FOR SAFE USE

This manual is an integral part of the appliance and must be kept in its entirety and for the full life time of the oven. It must be read carefully before GB using and installing the appliance.

This oven was designed for use only as a household appliance for cooking and heating food. All other uses (for example, heating rooms) is to be considered improper, and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for different uses.

It is intended to come into contact with food products and complies with European Directive 89/109/CEE.

It has been designed, manufactured and introduced into the market in compliance with:

-safety requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/CE;

-protection requirements of the directive EMC 2004/108/CE.

-requirements of the directive 93/68/CEE.

The various parts of the packaging must not be dispersed in the environment, but disposed of in compliance with the local regulations for refuse disposal.

This appliance is subject to European Directive 2002/96/CE for the disposal of electrical and electronic refuse. The symbol to the side indicates that the product must not be dealt with as domestic refuse, but must, instead, be delivered to an authorised collection centre for recycling electrical and electronic refuse.

Before disposing of it, you must make it unusable by cutting off the power cable.

The identifying data of the oven (model, serial number and technical data) are included on the rating plate applied on the door stop.

Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the regulations in force.

Should the appliance not function, disconnect it from the power supply and call the nearest Foster Technical Assistance Centre.

Do not attempt to repair the appliance!

21

FOR CORRECT USE OF THE OVEN:

•The appliance is intended for use by adults; do not allow children near it.

•Do not put inflammable objects into the oven that could start a fire.

•It is an appliance that generates heat, therefore limit contact with the outside and avoid all contact with the internal parts.

• To open the door correctly, hold the handle in the middle.

•Always use oven gloves to insert or extract containers.

•Do not obstruct ventilation openings and heat dispersal slits.

•Do not rest any weights on the door while it is open which could damage the hinges.

•Don not hang any weight from the handle of the oven door.

•Do not pull the power cable when removing the plug from the socket.

TO SAVE ENERGY:

•Pre-heat the oven only for the time strictly necessary.

•Use dark coloured oven containers because they absorb heat much better.

•Open the door only when strictly necessary, in order not to let heat

escape.

•Use the oven from late afternoon until the early hours of the morning in order to reduce the power consumption demand on electricity companies.

•Keep seals clean and efficient, so that they do not allow any heat to escape.

•When finished using it, always make sure that the oven is switched off.

The oven is heated by hot air which is circulated evenly by a motorised fan and heated by electrical resistor positioned around the fan. The temperature of the oven is kept constant at the value set for the whole cooking time.

For the best cooking results, always use the lower shelf to cook any type of food and the upper shelf only for grilling, toasting or gratineeing.

5. USING THE OVEN

FIRST TIME USE

Clean the oven carefully with water and activate the oven at the maximum temperature for approximately 30 minutes, in order to get rid of any manufac- GB turing grease residues that could give off unpleasant smells during cooking.

During cooking, do not place any pans or trays on the bottom of the oven as this could damage the enamel. If using baking paper, position it in such a way that it does not obstruct the circulation of air inside the oven.

Attention: keep cooking under control, given that high temperatures are involved.

The grill can also be used to gratinee and brown food after it has been cooked.

While the grill is on, the door must remain closed. Before opening it, switch off the appliance a wait for a few minutes.

In accordance with the height of the containers and the food to be cooked, the lower shelf runner should be used for normal baking and the highest one for the using the grill.

5.1 FAN-ASSISTED COOKING

Various types of food can be cooked at the same time because the hot air at the set temperature circulates evenly throughout the whole oven.

Cooking times with the hot air system are quicker than traditional static cooking, and therefore temperatures15°- 20°C lower than those normally suggested in cookery books should be used.

29

5.2 COOKING ON THE RACK

Turn the function knob to the position, set the desired temperature and pre-heat the oven until it reaches the selected temperature.

Then insert the rack 1 with the food to be cooked resting on top of it, lightly oiled. Then slide in the drip tray 2 immediately under the rack.

The warm air immediately surrounds the food to be cooked at all points and causes it to brown all over.

5.3 GRILLING

Turn the function knob to the position and the thermostat knob to the max position. Pre-heat the grill for about 5 minutes; in the oven roof, you will see the infrared grill element 3 becoming a bright red colour. Next insert the food to be grilled, lightly oiled, in the most convenient position, which is usually the position closest to the grill. Slide in the drip tray if the food is placed on the rack.

5.4 FAN-ASSISTED GRILL COOKING

Turn the function knob to the position and the thermostat knob to the max position; the strong heating of the grill is increased by the action of the fan, which allows more a more tender and even roasting of foods.

B. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Before carrying out the electrical connection make sure, referring to the data on the identification plate, that:

• the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage specified for the appliance;

•the household system and the power outlet can support the power of the appliance.

The rating plate is affixed on the door stop.

•Connection to the electrical mains supply must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with current regulations.

•The installer is responsible for correct connection in compliance with safety regulations.

•A plug that is adequate for the power of the appliance must be attached to the power supply cable. The plug must be connected to a power outlet that has an earth connection.

•The connection can be made to an omnipolar switch with a minimum

opening of 3mm between the contacts, of adequate size for the power and compliant with current regulations.

•The earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.

•The socket or omnipolar switch used for the connection must remain accessible when the domestic appliance is installed.

•The power supply cable must not be able to touch points that are 50°C above the ambient temperature.

•Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and risk of burns. If the power supply cable is replaced, the new cable must have a cross-section of no less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable) and must resist temperatures up to 90°C.

It is mandatory to attach the appliance to the earthing system. Our company declines all responsibility for non-functioning of the earthing system and for connections that are not compliant with the provisions of the law.
