EN1
- This appliance is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance for
cooking food. No other type of use is permitted (e.g.: heating
rooms). The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for
inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls.
- This appliance can be used by children from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or
lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe
way and understand hazards involved. Children shall not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
- The accessible parts of the appliance may become very hot during
use. Young children should be kept away from the appliance and

than 8 years old shall be kept away, unless continuously supervised.
- During and after use, do not touch the heating elements or interior
surfaces of the appliance - risk of burns. Do not allow the appliance
to come into contact with cloths or other flammable materials until
all the components have cooled sufficiently.
- At the end of cooking, exercise caution when opening the
appliance door, letting the hot air or steam exit gradually before
accessing the oven. When the appliance door is shut, hot air is
vented from the aperture above the control panel. Do not obstruct
the vent apertures.

when cooking foods rich in fat and oil.
EN2
- Never leave the appliance unattended during food drying.
- If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum,
cognac, wine), remember that alcohol evaporates at high
temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapours released by the
alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical
heating element.
- Never use steam cleaning equipment.
- Do not touch the oven during the pyrolysis cycle. Keep children
away from the oven during the pyrolysis cycle. Excess spillage must
be removed from the oven cavity before cleaning cycle (only for

the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may
result in shattering of the glass.
- Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp
to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
- Do not use aluminium foil to cover food in the cooking vessel
(only for ovens with cooking vessel supplied).

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
The oven does not work:
• Check for the presence of mains electrical power and if the oven is connected to the electrical supply.
• Turn off the oven and restart it to see if the fault persists.
EN4
The door will not open:
• Turn off the oven and restart it to see if the fault persists.
• Important: during self-cleaning, the oven door will not open. Wait until it unlocks automatically (see
paragraph “Cleaning cycle of ovens with pyrolysis function”).
The electronic programmer does not work:
• If the display shows the letter “ ” followed by a number, contact your nearest After-sales Service.
Specify in this case the number that follows the letter “ ”.
AFTER-SALES SERVICE
Before calling the After-Sales Service:
1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with the help of the suggestions given in the
“Troubleshooting guide“.
2. Switch the appliance off and back on again it to see if the fault persists.
If after the above checks the fault still occurs, get in touch with the nearest After-sales Service.
Always specify:
• a brief description of the fault;
• the type and exact model of the oven;
• the service number (number after the word Service on the rating plate), located on the right hand
edge of the oven cavity (visible when the oven door is open). The service number is also indicated on
the guarantee booklet;

CLEANING
WARNING
Oven exterior
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products accidentally
comes into contact with the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.
• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up
detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry cloth.
Oven interior
IMPORTANT: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers. Over time, these can ruin
enamelled surfaces and the oven door glass.
• After every use, allow the oven to cool then clean it preferably while it is still warm in order to remove
built-up dirt and stains caused by food residues (e.g. food with a high sugar content).
• Use proprietary oven detergents and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to the letter.
• Clean the door glass with a suitable liquid detergent. The oven door can be removed to facilitate
cleaning (see MAINTENANCE).
• The top heating element of the grill (see MAINTENANCE) can be lowered (some models only) to clean
the roof of the oven.
N.B.: during prolonged cooking of foods with a high water content (e.g. pizza, vegetables, etc.)
condensation may form on the inside of the door and around the seal. When the oven is cold, dry the
inside of the door with a cloth or sponge.
- Never use steam cleaning equipment.
- Only clean the oven when it is cool to the touch.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
EN5
Accessories:
• Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use, handling them with
oven gloves if still hot.
• Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.
Cleaning the rear wall and catalytic side panels of the oven (if present):
IMPORTANT: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, coarse brushes, pot scourers or oven
sprays which could damage the catalytic surface and ruin its self-cleaning properties.
• Operate the oven empty with the fan-assisted function at 200°C for about one hour
• Next, leave the appliance to cool down before removing any food residue with a sponge.
Cleaning cycle of ovens with pyrolysis function (if present):
WARNING
This function burns off spatters produced inside the oven during cooking at a temperature of approx.
500°C. At this high temperature, the deposits turn into a light ash which can be easily wiped away with a
damp cloth, when the oven is cool. Do not select the pyrolysis function after every use, only when the oven
is very dirty or produces smoke or fumes while preheating or cooking.
• If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all burners or electric hotplates are switched off
during the self-cleaning (pyrolysis) function.
• Remove all accessories before running the pyrolysis function.
• For optimum cleaning of the oven door, remove the worst soiling with a damp sponge before using
the pyrolytic function.
The appliance is equipped with 2 pyrolysis functions:
1. Energy-saving cycle (PYRO EXPRESS/ECO): which consumes approximately 25% less energy than the
standard cycle. Select it at regular intervals (after cooking meat on 2 or 3 consecutive occasions).
2. Standard cycle (PYRO): which is suitable for cleaning a very dirty oven.
• In any case, after a certain number of uses and depending on how dirty the oven is, a message on the
oven display advises you to run a self-cleaning cycle.
N.B.: during the pyrolysis function, the oven door will not open; it will remain locked until the
temperature inside the oven has returned to an acceptably safe level.
- Do not touch the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
- Keep children away from the oven during the pyrolysis cycle.
