Start-up and use

! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty

oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature

for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well

ventilated before switching the oven off and opening

the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly

unpleasant odour caused by protective substances

used during the manufacturing process burning

away.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the

SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the recommended temperature for the

cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning

the THERMOSTAT knob.

A list detailing cooking modes and suggested

cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant

table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

 Change the cooking mode by turning the

SELECTOR knob.

 Change the temperature by turning the

THERMOSTAT knob.

 Set the total cooking time and the cooking end

time (see below).

 Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to

the 0 position.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It

switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the

selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates

and switches off alternately, indicating that the

thermostat is working and is maintaining the

temperature at a constant level.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to

any position other than 0. It remains lit as long as the

oven is operating. By selecting

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the

oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being

damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when

cooking with the rotisserie spit.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

GB

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking

modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the

GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power

level is recommended.

STATIC OVEN mode

a

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come

on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is

best to use one cooking rack only. if more than one

rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.

OVEN BOTTOM mode

y

The lower heating element is activated. This position

is recommended for perfecting the cooking of

dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on

the surface but require further cooking in the centre,

or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which

only require moderate colouring on the surface. It

should be noted that this function does not allow the

maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven

(250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that

foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you

are baking cakes (which should be baked at a

temperature of 180°C or lower).

Lower compartment*

There is a compartment

underneath the oven

that may be used to

store oven accessories or

deep dishes. To open

the door pull it

downwards (see figure).

! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven

compartment.

Practical cooking advice

! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan

in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or

grease).

GRILL

 Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in

the centre of the rack.

GRILL mode

c

The top heating element is activated. The extremely

high and direct temperature of the grill makes it

possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts

while locking in the juices to keep them tender.

d DOUBLE GRILL mode

The top heating element is activated. The grill is also

highly recommended for dishes that require a high

surface temperature: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,

fillets, hamburgers etc...

! The GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must

be performed with the oven door shut.

Timer*

To activate the Timer proceed as follows:

1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction 4

for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.

2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction

5 to set the desired length of time.

 We recommend that the power level is set to

maximum. The top heating element is regulated

by a thermostat and may not always operate

constantly.

PIZZA

 Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the

rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as

it prevents the crust from forming by extending

the total cooking time.

 If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend

adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza

halfway through the cooking process.

* Only available in certain models.

Precautions and tips

! This appliance has been designed and

manufactured in compliance with international safety

standards.

The following warnings are provided for safety

reasons and must be read carefully.

General safety

 These instructions are only valid for the

countries whose symbols appear in the manual

and on the serial number plate.

 The appliance was designed for domestic use

inside the home and is not intended for

commercial or industrial use.

 The appliance must not be installed outdoors,

even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous

to leave the appliance exposed to rain and

storms.

 Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with

wet or damp hands and feet.

between 2 cupboards) appliance.

 Keep children away from the oven.

 Make sure that the power supply cables of other

electrical appliances do not come into contact

with the hot parts of the oven.

 The openings used for the ventilation and

dispersion of heat must never be covered.

 Do not place unstable or misshapen pans on the

electric hotplates; this will help to avoid spills.

Position them on the hob with the handles turned

towards the centre of the appliance.

 Always use oven gloves when placing cookware

in the oven or when removing it.

 Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol,

etc...) near the appliance while it is in use.

 Do not place flammable material in the lower

storage compartment or in the oven itself. If the

appliance is switched on accidentally, it could

catch fire.

 Always make sure the knobs are in the 0 position

when the appliance is not in use.

 When unplugging the appliance, always pull the

plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the

cable.

 Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work

without having disconnected the appliance from

the electricity mains.

 If the appliance breaks down, under no

circumstances should you attempt to repair the

appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by

inexperienced persons may cause injury or further

malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact

Assistance.

 Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.

Disposal

 When disposing of packaging material: observe

local legislation so that the packaging may be

reused.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

(WEEE) states that household appliances should

not be disposed of using the normal solid urban

waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be

collected separately in order to optimise the cost

of re-using and recycling the materials inside the

machine, while preventing potential damage to

the atmosphere and to public health. The

crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to

remind the owner of their obligations regarding

separated waste collection.

Exhausted appliances may be collected by the

public waste collection service, taken to suitable

collection areas in the area or, if permitted by

current national legislation, they may be returned

to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a

new equivalent product.

All major manufacturers of household appliances

participate in the creation and organisation of

systems for the collection and disposal of old and

disused appliances.

Respecting and conserving the

environment

 You can help to reduce the peak load of the

electricity supply network companies by using the

oven in the hours between late afternoon and the

early hours of the morning.

 Always keep the oven door closed when using the

GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL modes. This will

achieve better results while saving energy

(approximately 10%).

 Check the door seals regularly and wipe them

clean to ensure they are free of debris so that

they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding

heat dispersion.
