Connecting the electricity supply cable to the
mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the
load indicated on the data plate (

see table

).
The appliance must be directly connected to the
mains using an omnipolar switch with a minimum
contact opening of 3 mm installed between the
appliance and the mains. The switch must be
suitable for the charge indicated and must comply
with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire
must not be interrupted by the switch). The supply
cable must be positioned so that it does not come
into contact with temperatures higher than 50°C at
any point (the back panel of the oven, for example).

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical
connection has been performed and that it is fully
compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting the appliance to the power
supply, make sure that:

• the appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant
with the law;

• the socket can withstand the maximum power of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data
plate (

see below

);

• the voltage is in the range between the values
indicated on the data plate (

see below

);

• the socket is compatible with the plug of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it.
Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! 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.

! To make the setting process easier, keep the knob
in position: this will increase the scrolling speed of
the numbers on the display.

! Each setting will automatically be stored in the
appliance memory after 10 seconds.

! The touch controls cannot be activated if the user
is wearing gloves.

Some models are equipped with a system of hinges
which allows the door to close slowly, without the
user having to follow the movement through with his/
her hand. To use the system correctly, before
closing the door:

• Open the door fully.

• Do not force the closing movement manually.

Control panel/door lock

! The door and control panel can be locked while the
oven is off, once cooking has started or finished and
during programming.

To lock the door and the oven controls, press and
hold the

button for at least 2 seconds. A buzzer

sounds and the display shows the key symbol “n—

O”. The

and icons, when lit, indicate lock

function activation.
To deactivate the lock, press and hold the
button again for at least 2 seconds.
! When cleaning the appliance, the door lock may be
closed accidentally (there is an exposed spring). If
this happens, reopen it by turning the door lock
upwards (see figure).

- “Auto” and the duration alternately, if programming
is automatic.

3. Press the

button to begin cooking.

4. The oven will begin its preheating phase, the
preheating indicators will light up as the temperature
rises.

5. When the preheating process has finished, a
buzzer sounds and all the preheating indicator lights
show that this stage has been completed: the food
can then be placed in the oven.

6. During cooking it is always possible to:

- modify the temperature by turning the

THERMOSTAT

knob (

manual modes only

);

- set the duration of a cooking mode (

see Cooking

Modes

);

- press the

button to stop cooking. In this case
the appliance stores the temperature modified
previously in its memory (

manual modes only

);

- switch off the oven by pressing the

button for

3 seconds.

7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in
operation, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at
which it was interrupted, provided that the
temperature has not dropped below a certain level.
Programmed cooking modes which have not yet
started will not be restored and must be
reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode has
been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a
blackout occurs. When the power supply is restored,
the mode will have to be reprogrammed).

! There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the

oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being
damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between
the control panel and the oven door, as well as
towards the bottom of the oven door.In the FAST
COOKING mode, the fan is activated automatically
after ten minutes. At the beginning of the FAST
CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low
speed.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
continues to operate until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.

Oven light

The light comes on when the oven door is opened or
when a cooking mode starts.
When models featuring

LED INSIDE

technology
begin cooking, the LEDs on the door light up for
improved illumination of all cooking levels.

The

button can be used to switch on the light at

any time.

Residual heat indicators

The appliance is fitted with a residual heat indicator.
When the oven is off, the “residual heat” bar on the
display lights up to indicate high temperatures
inside the oven cavity. The individual segments of
the bar switch off one by one as the temperature
inside the oven falls.

Restoring the factory settings

The oven factory settings can be restored to reset all
selections made by the user (clock and customised
durations). To carry out a reset, switch off the oven,
then keep the SELECTOR knob turned while

pressing the

button for 6 seconds. Once the

restore procedure is complete, a buzzer will sound.

The first time the

button is pressed, the oven will

behave as if it is being switched on for the first time.

Standby

This product complies with the requirements of the
latest European Directive on the limitation of power
consumption of the standby mode. If no buttons are
pressed for 30 minutes and the control panel/door
lock has not been activated, the appliance
automatically reverts to standby mode. The standby
mode is visualised by the high luminosity “Watch
Icon”. As soon as interaction with the machine
resumes, the system’s operating mode is restored.
