Disposal instructions

2. DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS - OUR ENVIRONMENT POLICY

Our products are only packaged using non-pollutant, environment-friendly,
recyclable materials. We urge you to cooperate by disposing of the
packaging properly. Contact your local dealer or the competent local
organisations for the addresses of collection, recycling and disposal
facilities.
Never leave all or part of the packaging lying around. Packaging parts, and
especially plastic bags, may represent a suffocation hazard for children.

Your old appliance must also be disposed of properly.
Important: deliver the appliance to your local organisation authorised to
collect scrapped appliances. Proper disposal allows the intelligent
recovery of valuable materials.

Before scrapping your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally
become trapped inside the oven during play. Also, cut the power supply
lead and remove it and the plug.

5. BEFORE INSTALLATION

Never leave packaging residues unattended in the home. Separate waste
packaging materials by type and consign them to the nearest separate
disposal centre.

The inside of the appliance should be cleaned to remove all manufacturing
residues. For further information about cleaning, see point "11.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE".

When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells. After an interruption in the electricity supply, the
programmer display flashes at regular intervals. For setting instructions,
see point "7.3 First use".

7. USING THE OVEN

7.1 Precautions and General Advice

All cooking operations must be carried out with the door closed

When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues
left by the manufacturing process, which might contaminate foods with
unpleasant smells.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium
or tin foil, and do not place pans or trays on it; this may damage the
enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, position it so
that it does not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from
materials compliant with directive 89/109/EEC of 21/12/88 and relevant
national regulations.

To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside
the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half­open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it
completely. If you have to carry out any procedures
on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as
possible to prevent a drop in the oven temperature
which will impair the cooking results.

To prevent excessive amounts of condensation from forming on the
internal glass, food should not be left inside the oven for too long after
cooking.

7.2 Operating modes

This appliance is programmed to provide 3 operating settings:

OFF setting: obtained with knob PT2 turned to the “0” symbol; the current
time appears on the display.
ON setting: obtained with selector knob PT2 turned to any function; the
temperature set appears on the display.
Standby setting: obtained with selector knob PT2 turned to any function
and a timed cooking operation set; the current time appears on the display.

39

Instructions for the user

7.3 First use

At first use, or after a power failure, the oven display (DSP1), will show a
flashing symbol. To start any cooking operation, the current time

must be set.
(For further information about setting or adjusting the current time, see
point "7.6 Secondary menu").

7.4 Selecting the function

To select a cooking function, turn PT2.
Then select the temperature required using knob PT1

7.4.1 Cooking with preset temperature

After selection of the function required, the oven will start the cooking
procedure at the preset temperature. Cooking itself is preceded by a
preheating stage (common to all functions) which allows the oven to
heat to the cooking temperature more quickly.

The symbol flashes on the display (DSP1) to indicate that this stage is
in progress. When the preheating stage is over, the symbol will remain

constantly on to indicate that the food can be placed inside the oven.

7.4.2 Changing the preset temperature

The temperature preset for each function can be changed to suit the user's
requirements.
At any time while cooking is in progress, turn PT1 in either direction to
increase or decrease the cooking temperature by 5 degrees at a time. PT1
can also be held in the left or right position to increase or decrease the
setting more quickly.

7.5 Programmed cooking procedures

7.5.1 Timed cooking with minute minder

From ON status (see point “7.2 Operating modes”), press PT1 once. The
display will show the figures (constantly on) and the symbol

(flashing). Turn PT1 to set the minutes of cooking (from 00:01 to 23:59). A
few seconds later, the symbol will stop flashing, and the countdown will

start from that moment. Now you can also select the cooking function
required and wait for the buzzer to sound, indicating that the cooking time
is over.
Press PT1 once to stop the buzzer. You can now set an additional cooking
time by turning PT1, or return to display of the current time by pressing
PT1 twice.
Turn PT2 to the "0" symbol to switch the oven off completely.

The minute minder also works with no function set.
