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.

4. USING THE OVEN

4.1 Warnings and general advice

When using the oven for the first time, heat it up to its maximum temperature for a duration long enough to burn off any oily residues from the manufacturing process. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

4.2 Setting the power

When connecting the oven for the first time, the maximum power absorbed will appear flashing on the display. If the product is already connected, this will be in the “OFF” state. In both cases proceed as follows:
• Press the “PUSH” knob for at least 3 seconds: the display will show the text “P8.3” (equivalent to the maximum absorbed power of 8.3 kW) if the oven connection is three phase, or “P5.5” (equivalent to the maximum absorbed power of 5.5 kW) if the oven connection is single phase.
28
• Turn the knob to the or symbols to move between the proposed power absorptions P8.3, P5.5 and P3.0 (if the oven connection is
three phase), or P5.5 and p3.0 (if the oven connection is single phase).
• Once you have selected the power, press the “PUSH” button to confirm the selection.
The power setting operation must be performed the first time that the oven is connected. The value set is stored and used automatically whenever the oven is used subsequently.

4.3 Choice of programs

This appliance allows you select 40 cooking programs including:
• 38 programs that can be edited and saved as the user wishes
• 1 manual program “P40”
• 1 preheating program with delayed start “P39”

4.4 Humidified cooking operations (only in the steam model)

The humidified programs that the user can modify are included between P01 and P40 apart from program P39. For each program it is possible to
increase the number of the humidification cycles from 0 to 10 (where 0 corresponds to traditional cooking without using humidification). Humidification cycles can be modified only if an oven temperature higher than 150°C is set. Water can be allowed to flow inside the cooking chamber only during cooking, by controlling the relevant inlet valve manually. To do this, just keep the “START” button pressed for at least one second. Releasing the button stops the water from flowing in. The diagram below represents an example of cooking with 5 humidification cycles.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Important:
do not aim jets of water directly against the oven; avoid the use of pressure jets.
Before performing any operations, switch off the power supply to the oven.

5.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly at the end of the day. Let it cool first.
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. How to use: pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
