Water feeding
Filling the water tank
All functions (steam, steam + hot air and auto
cooking functions) require the water tank to be
full.
Fill the water tank up to the “MAX” mark with cold,
fresh drinking water and introduce it into the slot
located above the cavity (approximately 1L).
The message means that the water tank is
not correctly inserted.
Refilling the water
The contents of the water tank normally suffice for
one cooking session of 50-60 minutes.
If, however, the water tank needs to be refilled
this is signalled by the message meaning that
the water tank is empty.
Warning! Only fill the water tank up to a
maximum of 0.5 litres to ensure that the water
does not overflow when it is pumped back to
the water tank. RISK OF OVERFLOW.
Emptying the water tank
When the appliance is switched off, the residual
water is pumped back into the water tank.
While the water is being pumped the display
shows “PUMP”.
This message stays on until the temperature of
the water reaches 75º C before it can be pumped
back into the water tank.
Warning: the water in the tank may be hot.
Danger of burns!
After the water is pumped back to the water tank,
the display will show the message “DEP”
requiring the following actions:
1. Remove and empty the water tank.
2. Dry the water tank and introduce it back into
the slot located above the cavity. Clean and
dry the cooking space.
3. Leave the appliance door open so that the
cooking space can cool down and dry
completely.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is advisable to remove
the water tank and empty it after a cooking
cycle. This prevents the formation of bacteria
and limestone inside the appliance.
If the water tank has not been removed from the
oven and a new cooking cycle is started, the oven
displays the warning “DEP”.
This warning can be cleared by pressing the Stop
key and proceed with the new cooking cycle
without removing and emptying the water tank.

EN
When the oven is working...
Interrupting a cooking cycle
You can stop the cooking process at any time by
pressing the Stop key once.
The oven incorporates a steam-reduction function
that is activated when the Stop key is pressed to
gradually release the steam from the cavity, so
that there is no sudden rush of steam when the
appliance door is opened.
This function takes around 3 minutes and during it
the display shows the word “VAP”.
Warning! When opening the door during or
upon completion of the cooking cycle, be
careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam
coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back
or to the side to avoid burns.
At this point:
The steam generation is interrupted.
The cavity walls and the water tank are still
very hot. Danger of burning!
The timer stops and the display shows the
remaining operating time (if this has been set).
6. Press OK to validate.
7. Press the Start key. The oven will restart to
operate.
Cancelling a cooking cycle
If you wish to cancel the cooking process, press
the Stop key twice.
You will then hear 3 beeps and the message
“End” will appear on the display.
End of a cooking cycle
At the end of the set duration or when you press
the Stop key to finish the cooking cycle the oven
starts the steam-reduction function.
This function gradually releases the steam from
the cavity, so that there is no sudden rush of
steam when the appliance door is opened.
This function takes around 3 minutes and during it
the display shows the word “VAP”.
At the end of this process you will hear three
beeps and the display will show the word “End”.
If you wish, at this point you can:
1. Turn or stir the food to ensure it will be evenly
cooked.
2. Change the cooking parameters.
To restart the process, close the door and press
the Start key.
Altering parameters
The operating parameters (time and temperature)
can be altered when the oven is operating, by
proceeding as follows:
1. Press the Stop key to interrupt the cooking
process.
2. Press the OK key. The time value flashes.
3. Turn the Rotating Knob to alter the time.
4. Press the OK key to validate. The temperature
value flashes.
5. Turn the Rotating knob to alter the
temperature.
Warning! When opening the door during or
upon completion of the cooking cycle, be
careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam
coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back
or to the side to avoid burns.
The beeps are repeated every 30 seconds until
the door is opened or the Stop key is pressed.
The cooling fan can continue to run for a certain
length of time after the appliance has been
switched off. This is a normal function that is
meant to reduce the temperature inside the oven.
After the water is pumped back to the water tank,
the display will show the message “DEP”. This
means that the water was pumped and that the
water tank can be removed.
Remove the water tank and dry it thoroughly. Let
the cooking space cool down for a moment and
then clean and dry it with a cloth. The door should
be left open for some time so that the appliance
can dry completely.
22
EN
When the oven is working...
Steam Flow
It is normal to have an intermittent steam flow,
coming out from the oven front.
This is especially noticeable in winter time or in
high moisture environments.
Residual water in the oven
To reduce the residual water in the oven, it is
recommended to insert a tray in the bottom rack
level. The condensation released from the food
begins to drip on the tray. The remaining residual
water can be easily dried with a cloth.
23
EN
Use of Acessories
The perforated container is suitable for cooking
fresh or deep frozen vegetables, meat and poultry.
In this case it is important that the non-perforated
container is introduced into the first level. This
way, dripping liquids are collected and the
appliance does not get dirty. The perforated
container with the food should be inserted into the
second level.
The non-perforated container is used to steam
sensitive foods, e.g. compotes and dumplings.
The rack is used when cooking with small
containers, as for example, dessert bowls and to
regenerate plate dishes.
For more precise information refer to the tables.
The suggested times and temperatures are
guideline values. The actual cooking time can vary
according to the type and quality of the foods.
To remove the rack, lift it upwards slightly at the front when the safety notches connect with the sides of
the oven (see illustration).
We recommend using the rack together with the baking tray when cooking items on the rack
which might drip.

Two level cooking
Some suggestions:
When cooking with two levels the grill always
belongs to the 2nd or 3rd level of insertion from
the bottom to the top.
This way the usual vessels of porcelain, Jena
glass or of stainless steel can be put inside the
oven.
The container of cooking perforated or not, will
be inserted in the 1st level from the bottom. It
can also be cooked with two grills.
Different cooking times are controlled this way:
Foods that need a longer cooking time should be
placed in the upper area of the oven. Foods with
a shorter cooking time should be placed on the
1st level.
One example: Vegetables, potatoes and fish.
Place the vegetables and potatoes in any
suitable container on the rack inserted in the 2nd
or 3rd level.
Insert the fish in the 1st level.
When using the perforated tray to cook fish, the
non-perforated tray must be inserted in the
bottom of the appliance to collect liquid dripping
from the fish. This way the appliance is kept
clean.
Time: Vegetables and potatoes 25-35 Min.
Time: Fish – depending on type – 15-25 Min.
Select the longest cooking time. Because of the
different levels the food is ready at the same
time, without any over cooking.

Cooking with the grill
For good results with the grill, use the grid iron
supplied with the oven.
IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. When the grill is used for the first time there will
be some smoke and a smell coming from the
oils used during oven manufacture.
2. The oven door window becomes very hot when
the grill is working. Keep children away.
3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and
the grid iron become very hot. You should use
oven gloves.
4. If the grill is used for extended period of time it
is normal to find that the elements will switch
themselves off temporarily due to the safety
thermostat.
5. Important! When food is to be grilled or
cooked in containers you must check that the
container in question is suitable for use. See
the section on types of ovenware!
6. When the grill is used it is possible that some
splashes of fat may go onto the elements and
be burnt. This is a normal situation and does
not mean there is any kind of operating fault.
7. After you have finished cooking, clean the
interior and the accessories so that cooking
remains do not become encrusted.
Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes. Unless
indicated otherwise, use the grid iron. Place the
grid on a bowl so that the water and the fat can
drop. The times shown are merely indicative and
can vary as a function of the composition and
quantity of the food, as well as the final condition
wished for. Fish and meat taste great if, before
grilling, you brush them with vegetable oil, spices
and herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours.
Only add salt after grilling.
Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a
fork before grilling.
After half the grilling time has passed, check on
how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn
the food over.
The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin
portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat
only need to be turned once, but thicker portions
should be turned several times.

Cooking with Hot Air
Roasting and baking
Advice for roasting meat
Turn the pieces of meat halfway through the
cooking time. When the roasted meat is ready
you should let it stand for 10 minutes in the oven
with this switched off and closed. This will
ensure the juices in the meat are well
distributed.
Add 2 to 3 soup spoons of gravy or similar liquid
to lean meat and 8 to 10 soup spoons to stews,
depending on the amount of meat in question.
The roasting temperature and time required
depends on the type and amount of meat being
cooked.
If the weight of the meat to be roasted does not
appear on the table choose the settings for the
weight immediately below and extend the cooking
times.
Advice on ovenware
Check that the ovenware fits inside the oven.
Hot glass containers should be put on a dry kitchen
cloth. If such containers are put on a cold or wet
surface the glass may crack and break. Use oven
gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.

Cooking – Cakes
Advice on cake baking ware
The most commonly used type of baking ware is
black metal tins.
Advice on how to bake cakes
Different amounts and types of pastry require
different temperatures and baking times. Try low
settings first of all and then, if necessary, use
higher temperatures next time. A lower
temperature will result in more uniform baking.
Always put the cake tray in the centre of the
turntable.
Baking suggestions
How to check if the cake is properly cooked
Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part of the
cake 10 minutes before the end of the baking
time. When no dough sticks to the tooth pick the
cake is ready.
If the cake is very dark on the outside
Next time choose a lower temperature and let the
cake bake for a longer time.
If the cake is very dry
Make small holes in the cake with a tooth pick
after baking has finished. Then sprinkle the cake
with some fruit juice or alcoholic drink. Next time
increase the temperature by about 10º and reduce
the baking time.
If the cake does not come free when turned
Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after
baking and it will come out of the tin more easily.
If the cake still does not come free run a knife
carefully around the edges. Next time grease the
cake tin well.

Care and maintenance
Descaling
Whenever steam is produced, irrespective of the
hardness of the local water supply (i.e. the
limescale content of the water), limescale is
deposited inside the steam generator.
The time interval between descaling depends on
the hardness of the water and frequency of use. If
steaming 4×30 minutes per week, the appliance
must be descaled (depending on water hardness)
roughly as follows:
The appliance automatically detects when
descaling is necessary and when this happens the
Descale light stays on.
Suitable descaling solutions
For descaling, use the descaling solution
“durgol®”.
This solution allows a professional and careful
descaling of your appliance. Available at
Customer Care Centres.
Warning! Do not use vinegar or vinegar-based
products as they can cause damage to the
oven’s internal circuit.
Traditional descaling solutions are not appropriate
because they can contain foaming agents.
If the Descaling procedure is not performed, some
cooking cycles after the message “CAL” start to
flash.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to descale the
appliance will likely impair the functioning of
or cause damage to the appliance.
33
EN

Oven cleaning
Warning! Cleaning should be done with the
oven power switched off. Take the plug out of
the socket or switch off the oven’s power
circuit.
Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
products, scourers that scratch surfaces or
sharp objects, since stains may appear.
Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaning
appliances.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp
metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.
Front surface
Normally you just need to clean the oven with a
damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of
dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water.
Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.
In an oven with an aluminium front, use a mild
glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does
not release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side
to side without exerting any pressure on the
surface.
Immediately remove limescale, fat, starch or egg
white stains. Corrosion can occur under these
stains.
Oven interior
After use, remove any water on the bottom of the
cooking space with a soft cloth. Leave the
appliance door open so that the cooking space
can cool down.
To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a nonaggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven
sprays or other aggressive or abrasive
cleaning products.
Always keep the door and the oven front very
clean to ensure that the door opens and
closes properly.
Make sure water does not enter the oven
ventilation holes.
The glass lamp cover is located on the oven
ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning.
For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it
with water and dishwashing liquid.
Accessories
Clean the accessories after each use. If they are
very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a
brush and sponge. The accessories can be
washed in a dish washing machine.
Do not let any water get inside the oven.

What should I do if the oven doesn’t work?
WARNING! Any type of repair must only be
done by a specialised technician. Any repair
done by a person not authorised by the
manufacturer is dangerous.
You do not need to contact Technical Assistance
to resolve the following questions:
The display is not showing! Check if:
- The time indication has been switched off
(see section on Basic Settings).
Nothing happens when I press the keys!
Check if:
- The Safety Block is active (see section on
Basic Settings).
The oven does not work! Check if:
- The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.
- The oven’s power is switched on.
When the oven is operating I can hear some
strange noises! This is not a problem.
- It has to do with the operating noises that
can occur during the cooking process, e.g,
by the water pumps in the steam generator.
The appliance still makes a noise after the
cooking process is finished! This is not a
problem.
- The cooling fan keeps on working for some
time. When the temperature has dropped
sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
The oven switches on but the interior light
does not go on!
- If all the functions work properly it is
probable that the lamp has blown. You can
keep on using the oven.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
Take the plug out of the socket or switch off
the oven’s power circuit.
- Unscrew and remove the glass light cover
(1).
- Remove the light bulb (2). Warning! The bulb may be very hot.
- The steam inside the cavity produces a
pressure build-up and sometimes the cavity
walls may produce noise when they react to
the pressure.
- This noises are normal, there is no problem.
The food doesn’t heat up or heats very
slowly! Check if:
- You have selected the correct operating
times and temperature setting.
- The food you have put inside the oven is a
larger amount or colder than you usually put
in.
If the message “Err_” appears in the
display, please contact the Customer Care.
- Fit a new G9 230V/25W halogen bulb.
Follow the lamp manufacturer’s instructions.
- Screw the glass light cover into place (1).
- Connect the oven again to the power supply.

is located on the front part of the cavity and it is
only visible after opening the door.
If required by the National Electrical Code (or
Canadian Electrical Code), this appliance must be
installed on a separate branch circuit.
Installer – show the owner the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Before installing, turn power OFF at the service
panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from
being turned ON accidentally.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Installation,
electrical connections and grounding must comply
with all applicable codes.
Open the oven door and take out all the
accessories and remove the packing material.
Do not remove the mica cover on the ceiling of
the interior! This cover stops fat and pieces of
food damaging the microwave generator.
Warning! The front surface of the oven may be
wrapped with a protective film. Before using the
oven for the first time, carefully remove this film,
starting on the inside.
Electrical supply
Before installing the oven have a qualified
electrician verify that your home is provided with
adequate electrical service and that the addition of
the oven will not overload the branch circuit on
which it is to be installed.
A separate three-wire or four-wire single phase,
240 Volt, 60 Hz, branch circuit is required.
For hook-up of the oven you will need to have an
approved junction box installed where it will be
easily reached through the front of the cabinet
where the oven will be located. The oven has 3
feet of conduit.
Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that
the oven can be moved if servicing is ever
necessary.
DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit.
Wiring requirements
When making the wire connections, use the entire
length of the conduit provided (3 feet). The
conduit must not be cut.
Before making connections make sure the power
is off and read and observe the following:
1. A separate three-wire or four-wire, single
phase, 240 Volt, 60 Hz branch circuit is
required for the oven.
Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any
way. Check that the oven door closes correctly
and that the interior of the door and the front of
the oven opening are not damaged. If you find any
damage contact the Technical Assistance

conductor is prohibited:
Disconnect the ground from the neutral at
free end of conduit;
Use grounding terminal or lead to ground
unit; and
Connect neutral terminal or lead to branch
circuit neutral in usual manner.
