Instructions for the installer
2. INSTALLATION OF THE OVEN
The oven must be set up on a perfectly flat surface and left standing free. Make sure to allow enough room at the sides for easy access to the terminal strip for connection of the power cable to mains. Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with applicable regulations in force.
2.1 Electrical connection
Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications
indicated on the rating plate located to the rear of the oven. This rating
plate must never be removed.
For operation on 400-415V 3N∼: use
an H07RN-F-type five-core cable (5 x
1.5 mm2).
20
Make sure that plug and wall socket are of the same type and are in conformity with regulations in force. Also check that the power supply line is provided with adequate earthing. Avoid using adapters or shunters.
In case of permanent connection, ensure that power cable is equipped with an easily accessible omnipolar switch fitted in proximity to the apparatus and with a gap between contacts equal to or greater than
3 mm.
Instructions for the installer
The power supply connector on the back of the oven may be used only for supplying the optional extractor hood, which has maximum power absorption of 300W.
2.1.1 Safety thermostat
The oven is fitted with a safety device which trips in case of serious malfunction. To reset, contact the nearest servicing centre.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things caused by non-observance of the above prescriptions or by interference with any part of the oven.
2.2 Levelling
Adjust the four feet so as to set the oven on a perfectly level plane. For this purpose, loosen the lock nut and unscrew the foot. The range of adjustment of the screw is 10 mm.
2.3
Water line connection
Connect the water intake valve on the back to the water supply using a hose with a ¾ gas thread, making sure that the connections are secured tightly. If the water hose is new or has not been used for a long period of time, run the water to ensure that the water is clear and free of impurities before you connect it. This is a precautionary measure serving to avoid the risk of the water causing blockage and thus damaging the appliance.
You are advised to supply the oven with a water pressure ranging between a minimum of 50 KPa and a maximum of 500 KPa.
An exhaust pipe is fitted on the top of the oven to allow the discharge of steam during cooking. Make sure that it's no way obstructed.

3. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
All oven knobs and controls are located on the side panels.
STEAM REGULATION KNOB
This knob with two positions allows the elimination of steam during cooking that is formed during the cooking phase. The outlet values go from 0 to 1 and all intermediate zones can be used.
THERMOSTAT KNOB This permits selection of the ideal cooking temperature. Rotate clockwise to the desired temperature (50° to 250°C). Adjustment is progressive so that the oven also operates at any intermediate value.
ORANGE LIGHT When on, indicates that oven is heating up. When the set temperature is reached, the light goes off. During the cooking cycle, the light comes on and goes off various times signalling that the temperature in the oven is being kept constant as per the set value.
GREEN LIGHT When off, indicates that timed cooking is in progress. When on, indicates that the timed cooking cycle has been completed.
TIMER KNOB This permits to select manual or timer-controlled cooking with automatic turning off of the oven at end of the cooking cycle.
To set to manual, turn the knob anticlockwise to . To set cooking time, turn the knob clockwise. Time is expressed in minutes (5 to 60). Adjustment is progressive so that time can also be set to any intermediate value. Upon

completion of the cooking cycle, the knob automatically returns to 0, the oven turns off and a buzzer signal is set off, which switches off automatically after 20 seconds.
STEAM EROGATION KNOB This serves for selecting the amount of steam most suited to the foods to be cooked. Turning the knob clockwise, the selection options range from the 0 setting (no steam is supplied), to the 1 setting (maximum steam supply). Steam continues to be supplied until the knob is released; once released the knob automatically returns to the 0 setting. N.B.: The oven thermostat knob must be set between 150° and 250°C for steaming.

4. USE OF THE OVEN
4.1 Warnings and general advice
When using for the first time, it is advisable to heat up the oven to its maximum temperature (250°C) for enough time to burn off any possible oily manufacturing residues. It should be borne in mind that when the oven door is opened, the heating elements and the fan are automatically switched off. This means that, if the food being cooked needs to be checked, it is best to leave the door open for as short a time as possible in order to avoid the temperature inside the oven from dropping too much and thus compromising cooking results. To prevent any problems that could be caused from the steam in the oven, open the door in two stages: keep the door ajar (about 5-6 cm) for 4-5 seconds and then open it fully.

BETWEEN 150° AND 250°C
No steam is created at temperatures lower than 150°C: temperatures
below 150°C give rise to condensation and consequent dripping. Therefore, turn the thermostat knob to 150°C and wait until the (orange) thermostat indicator light switches off before opening the steam supply.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important:
never spray water directly on to the oven. Never use pressure nozzles.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the oven.
5.1 Cleaning stainless steel parts
To maintain stainless steel parts in perfect condition, clean regularly at the end of the work day. Allow to 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 on 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 normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin. Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

Instructions for the user
5.2 Cleaning the inside of the oven
To maintain the oven in perfect condition, clean it regularly at the end of the work day. Allow to cool first. Take off all removable parts. Remove the side guides by lifting them and extracting them from the supporting pins (as shown in the diagram).
28
Clean oven grill and side guides with warm water and non-abrasive detergents. Rinse and dry.
Clean the inside walls of the oven with a soft cloth soaked in an ammonia solution; rinse and dry. In case of persistent spots or drip­offs, place an ammonia-imbibed cloth on the bottom of the oven, close the door and after a few hours wash the oven with warm water and a liquid detergent. Rinse and dry.
5.3 Door glass
The door glass should always be kept clean. Use absorbent kitchen paper to clean. In case of tough spots, clean with a damp sponge using regular detergent.
