Installation

GB

Flush fitting

The oven can be installed under a work top or in a
cooking column. Figure shows the installation
dimensions. Make sure that surrounding materials are
heat resistant. Align the oven centrally with respect to
the sidewalls of the units surrounding it and fix it in
place with the screws and Allen screws provided.

See the accompanying instructions for combining
the oven with multi-functional gas or gas-electric
cookers.

Electrical connection

IMPORTANT

The oven's data plate is accessible even with the oven
fully installed. The plate is visible simply by opening
the door. Always quote the details from it to identify
the appliance when ordering spare parts.

Before connecting the oven to the mains power
supply, make sure that:

• The supply voltage corresponds to the
specifications on the data plate on the front of the
oven.

• The mains supply has an efficient earth (ground)
connection complying with all applicable laws and
regulations. Correct earthing (grounding) is a legal
requirement. The power cable should never reach a
temperature 50°C above ambient temperature at
any point along its length. If a fixed appliance is not
provided with a power cable and plug, or some
other device permitting it to be disconnected from
the mains electricity supply, with a gap between the
contacts big enough to guarantee class III over
voltage protection, then such a device must be
fitted to the power supply incompliance with the
regulations governing electrical installations. The
socket or switch must be easily reachable with the
oven fully installed.

N.B. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for
damage or injury if the above instructions and normal
safety precautions are not respected.

THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THE OVEN

Clean the oven thoroughly with soapy water and rinse
well. To remove the lateral frames from smooth-walled
ovens, proceed as shown in the figure. Operate the
oven for about 30 minutes at maximum temperature to
burn off all traces of grease which might otherwise
create unpleasant smells when cooking.

Important:

As a safety precaution, before cleaning the oven,
always disconnect the plug from the power socket or
the power cable from the oven. Do not use acid or
alkaline substances to clean the oven (lemon juice,
vinegar, salt, tomatoes etc.). Do not use chlorine
based products, acids or abrasive products to clean
the painted surfaces of the oven.

Circular heating elements with fan.

Thermostat setting from 50°C to MAX.

Fan for defrosting.

Thermostat setting at 0°C.

Double top heating element (large area grill).

Thermostat setting from 50°C to200°C.

FAN COOKING

For this type of cooking a fan positioned at the back
allows the circulation of hot air inside the oven, creating
uniform heat. In this way cooking is more rapid than
conventional cooking. It is a suitable method for cooking
dishes on more than one shelf, especially when the food
is of different types (fish, meat etc.).

DEFROSTING

By selecting one of the fan cooking functions and setting
the thermostat to zero, the fan allows cold air to circulate
inside the oven. In this way frozen food can be rapidly
defrosted.
It is not essential to preheat the oven, but you are
advised to do so when cooking pastries.

GRILL COOKING

Grill cooking uses top heat to cook a single dish.
Place the food in the oven only once cooking
temperature has been reached, i.e.
when the heating indicator goes out. If you want to
increase top temperature towards the end of the
cooking cycle, set the temperature control to the right
position. It is advisable to open the oven door as little
as possible during cooking.

COOLING FAN

The fan is positioned on the upper part of the oven
and create a circle of cooling air on the inside of the
furniture and through the door of the oven. It is turned
on when the temperature of the outer shell of the oven
reaches 60°C. By switching on the oven with the
thermostat at 200°C the fan starts working after
approx.10 min. It is turned off when the temperature of
the outer shell of the oven descends under 60°C. By
switching off the oven with the thermostat at 200°C the
fan stops working after approx. 30 min.

Replacing the oven light

IMPORTANT:

The oven light must have these precise features:

a) it must be able to

resist high
temperatures (up to
300°C)

b) power supply: see V/

Hz indicated on data

plate.
c) power 25W.
d) E 14 connection.

Before proceeding, disconnect the appliance from the
main electricity supply.

• to prevent damage, place a tea cloth in the oven

• nscrew the glass cover of the light

• unscrew the old light bulb and replace it with the

new one

• put back the glass cover and remove the tea cloth

• connect the appliance to the main electricity supply

• Remove the four plastic caps from the opposite side
and unscrew the locking pin.

• Turn the door 180°.

• Secure the door in its new position using the 4
screws removed previously.

NOTE: Make sure that the oven door is perfectly
parallel with the front panel. If it is not, adjust it by
means of the screws you have just inserted.

• Fix the oven in the oven recess using the 4 screws
and the plastic spacers provided.

Removing the oven door

• Decide whether you want the door to open to the
left or right before positioning the appliance in the
oven recess.

• Fully open the door.

• Remove the four fixing screws from the door hinge.

• Screw in the door closing pin and secure it in
