INTENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE AND CONFORMS TO THE EEC
DIRECTIVES CURRENTLY IN FORCE. THE APPLIANCE HAS BEEN BUILT TO
CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONS: COOKING AND HEATING-UP

OF FOOD; ALL OTHER USES ARE CONSIDERED IMPROPER.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPROPER
USE.

DO NOT DISCARD PACKING IN THE HOME ENVIRONMENT. SEPARATE THE
VARIOUS WASTE MATERIALS AND TAKE THEM TO THE NEAREST
SELECTIVE WASTE COLLECTION CENTRE.

THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED TO EARTH IN COMPLIANCE WITH
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SAFETY REGULATIONS.

WHEN LINKING UP TO MAINS BY PLUG AND SOCKET, MAKE SURE THAT
BOTH ARE COMPATIBLE AND CONNECT BY MEANS OF A POWER CABLE
COMPLYING WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONS.
NEVER UNPLUG BY PULLING ON THE CABLE.

DO NOT OBSTRUCT VENTILATION OR HEAT DISPERSAL OPENINGS.

22

IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION CARRY OUT A BRIEF INSPECTION
TEST OF THE OVEN, FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. SHOULD
THE APPLIANCE NOT FUNCTION, DISCONNECT IT FROM THE POWER
SUPPLY AND CALL THE NEAREST TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTRE.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE.

NEVER PUT INFLAMMABLE OBJECTS IN THE OVEN: IF IT SHOULD
ACCIDENTALLY BE SWITCHED ON, THIS MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE.

THE APPLIANCE BECOMES VERY HOT DURING USE. SUITABLE HEAT­PROOF GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN FOR ALL OPERATIONS.

THE ID PLATE WITH TECHNICAL DATA, SERIAL NUMBER AND BRAND NAME
IS POSITIONED VISIBLY ON THE SIDE OF THE OVEN.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS PLATE FOR ANY REASON.

Instructions for safety and use

THE OVEN IS DESIGNED FOR A MAXIMUM LOAD OF 3.5 KG.

THIS APPLIANCE IS MARKED ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE
2002/96/EC ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT –
(WEEE).
THIS GUIDELINE IS THE FRAME OF A EUROPEAN-WIDE VALIDITY OF
RETURN AND RECYCLING ON WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.

BEFORE THE APPLIANCE IS PUT INTO OPERATION, ALL LABELS AND
PROTECTIVE FILMS APPLIED INSIDE OR OUTSIDE MUST BE REMOVED.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or
things caused by the non-observance of the above prescriptions or
deriving from tampering with any part of the appliance or by the use of

INFORMATION FOR USERS

Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC
relating to the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical
and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse. The
crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the
end of its useful life, must be collected separately from other refuse.
Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached the end of
its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical
and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an
equivalent product, on a one for one basis. Adequate selective collection
for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to
recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to
avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and on health and
promotes the recycling of the materials of which the appliance consists.
The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of
administrative sanctions.

Instructions for the installer

2. OVEN INSTALLATION

The oven must be installed on a free-standing horizontal work top. The
distance from the rear wall must allow easy access to the terminal board
for connection of the power supply cable. Installation must be carried out
by a qualified technician and in compliance with EEC DIRECTIVES
currently in force.

2.1 Electrical connection

Make sure the voltage and the cross-section of the power cord match the
specifications indicated on the identification plate positioned on the side
of the oven. Do not remove this plate for any reason.

The oven is equipped with a
three-core H07RN-F cable for
operation at 220-240V∼.
For operation at 380-415V2N∼ or
380-415V3N∼, the power supply
cable must be changed and the
connection to the terminal board
must be modified. This is can be
accessed by removing the panel
located on the back of the oven.

24

The supplied cable is a H07RN-F 3 x 4 mm
three-core cable.

∼

For operating at 380-415V2N
the cable must be replaced by a H07RN-F
type. The cross-section of the wires of the new

cable must not be less than 2.5-1.5 mm

2.5 mm
end to be connected to the oven must have an
earth cable (yellow-green) that is at least 20
mm longer.

Instructions for the installer

When linking up to mains by plug and socket, the connection must be
completed with a three-core plug of adequate capacity (25A), or, for
operation at 380-415V2N∼ or 380-415V3N∼, a five-core plug (16A). The
plug and wall-mounted socket must be of the same type (in accordance
with CEI regulations). Make sure that the supply line is suitably earthed.
Avoid use of adapters and shunts.

If the appliance is connected to the electrical mains supply in a
permanent manner, install a multipolar cut-out device on the line, with
contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm located near the
appliance and in an easily reachable position.

WARNING: if the phase voltage drops below 190 VAC, the performance
of the oven may suffer, not due to the product itself.

The terminal marked with this symbol connects parts together that are
normally at zero potential. Connect the appliances appropriately using
this terminal in order to make sure that they are equipotential.

2.1.1 Safety thermostat

The oven is equipped with a safety device that takes action in case of
serious malfunction. To re-arm the safety device you must contact the
technical assistance service.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons
or things caused by the non-observance of the above prescriptions or
deriving from tampering with any part of the appliance.

2.2 Levelling

Level the oven on the ground using the four adjustable feet. In order to
adjust them, loosen the lock nut and unscrew the foot. The adjustment
screws have a range of 10 mm.

2.3 Connection to the water mains (only in the steam model)

Connect the water inlet socket on the
back to a water socket with a threaded
¾ gas opening, taking care to screw it
tightly to the hose.
If the water piping is new or has been
unused for a long time, before
connection, run the water to make sure
it becomes clear and free of impurities.
Without this precaution, there is a risk
that the water inlet will become
clogged causing damage to the
appliance.
It is recommended to supply the oven
with water pressure between: min. 50
kPa and max. 500 kPa.

2.4 Steam outlet pipe

Depending on the model, there are two
outlet pipes on the back of the oven for
releasing the steam produced during
cooking. These must be left free of
any obstruction. Avoid crushing
them.
