Preparation of the oven and pre-use

Attention: the oven must be unplugged from the electrical mains. Before using the oven,
carefully clean the interior, the racks and the drip pan with non-abrasive soap and lukewarm
water. Insert the racks and the drip pan into their respective runners. When this operation

is complete, plug the oven into the electrical mains and bring it up to maximum temperature

for at least 20 minutes in order to eliminate any residual grease, oil or resins from manufacturing

which may cause unpleasant odours during cooking; then ventilate the room.

Once completed this simple operation, the oven is ready to cook for the first time.

All electrical connections must be performed by a licensed contractor.
All care must be taken to ensure the installation is properly earthed and conforms to local laws.

Cabinet (see also the figure below):

This appliance is designed for building-in to a standard 865mm wide oven housing.
The housing, adjacent furniture and all materials used in installation must be able to
withstand a minimum temperature of 80°C plus ambient temperature during periods of
operation. In addition, adjacent furniture cabinet doors must be at minimum 3mm from
the appliance at all points. Certain types of vinyl or laminate kitchen furniture cabinetry
are particularly prone to heat damage and discoloration, any delamination or discoloration
of materials which occurs below 80°C plus ambient temperature or where materials are less
than 3mm from the appliance will be the liability of the owner.

Replacing the oven light (Fig. 2)

(NOT COVERED BY THE APPLIANCE
WARRANTEE)

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity
supply.
Remove the protective glass light-cover by
twisting anticlockwise.

After replacing the bulb B, refit the protective
cover A.

NOTE: the glass cover may be tight and may
therefore require a tight grip to release.

Removing the oven door (fig. 1)

To make it easier to clean the oven, the door may
be removed.

The hinges "A" are fitted with two mobile U-bolts "B"
which block the door when it is completely open
if they are hooked onto sections "C" of the hinges.
After this has been done, the door must be lifted up

and taken out. When carrying out this operation,
hold the sides of the oven door beside the hinges.
To refit the door first slide the hinges into their
grooves.
Lastly, before closing the door do not forget to detach
the two mobile U-bolts "B" which were used to hook
the two hinges.

Cleaning and maintenance

Important:

Before carrying out maintenance on the oven, it must always be switched off.

The stainless steel and enamelled parts will keep their finish if cleaned with water or
using specific products, drying them thoroughly.
Avoid using products that contain chlorine or diluted chlorine solutions, caustic
soda, abrasive detergents, hydrochloric acid, vinegar and other products that can
scratch. Stains left on the bottom of the oven (sauces, sugary substances, egg white
and fats) are caused by spatters or spillage of food. Spattering occurs during roasting
and is due to the temperature being too high whereas spilling is due to containers
being too small or the food increasing in volume during cooking.
These two problems can be solved by using high-sided containers or by using the dripping
pan supplied with the oven. When cleaning the lower part of the oven, you are advised
to remove any stains while the oven is still warm- the longer you wait, the more difficult
it will be remove them. Immediately after use while the oven is still warm but switched off,
you are also advised to place a cloth soaked in ammonia (a few drops are sufficient)
on the bottom of the oven. Close the oven door, wait approximately 10 minutes and then
dry thoroughly.

Warning: use only non caustic oven cleaners
