4.1 Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. 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.

6. COOKING HINTS

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking

6.1 Traditional cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷ 250°C
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre­heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

6.2 Hot-air cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷ 250°C
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat. Pre-heating is not necessary.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.

7.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

7.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

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.

7.1.2 Food stains or residues

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

7.2 Cleaning of the oven (without self-cleaning panels)

For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take out all removable parts.
DO NOT USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE OVEN.
Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 15/20 minutes after using specific products, to eliminate the residues deposited inside the oven.
For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see P. 8.2)
22

7.2.1 Self-cleaning liners (only on some models)

The oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners. These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over time.

7.2.2 Using the self-cleaning liners

Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60 minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a damp sponge

7.2.3 Looking after the self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.

7.2.4 Assembling the self-cleaning liners

1. Remove all accessories from the oven;
2. Remove the side grilles (fig.1);
3. Extract the side liners “F” and “G”(fig. 2);
4. Remove the back panel “A” after undoing the threaded ring-nut “C
(fig. 2).
