YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS IS PARAMOUNT
This manual and the appliance itself provide important safety warnings, to be read and observed at all times.
This is the danger symbol, pertaining to safety, which alerts users to potential risks to themselves
and others.
All safety warnings are preceded by the danger symbol and the following terms:
DANGER
WARNING
All safety warnings give specific details of the potential risk present and indicate how to reduce risk of
injury, damage and electric shock resulting from improper use of the appliance. Carefully observe the
following instructions:
- The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any installation
work.
- Installation and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified technician, in compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual.
- Regulations require that the appliance is earthed.
- The power cable must be long enough for connecting the appliance, once fitted in its housing, to the
power supply socket.
- For installation to comply with current safety regulations, an all-pole disconnect switch with
minimum contact gap of 3 mm must be utilized.
- Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads.
- Do not pull the power supply cable in order to unplug the appliance.
- The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation.
- Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do not operate it when barefoot.

use is permitted (e.g.: heating rooms). The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate
use or incorrect setting of the controls.
- The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with any physical, sensory or
mental impairment, or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or
previously instructed in its use by those responsible for their safety.
- The accessible parts of the appliance may become very hot during use. Young children should be
kept away from the appliance and supervised to ensure that they do not play with it.
- 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.
- Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, taking care not to touch the heating elements.
- Do not place flammable materials in or near the appliance: a fire may break out if the appliance is
inadvertently switched on.

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.
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;
• your full address;
• your telephone number.
If any repairs are required, please contact an authorised After-sales Service (to guarantee that original
spare parts will be used and repairs carried out correctly).
GB3
CLEANING
WARNING
- Never use steam cleaning equipment.
- Only clean the oven when it is cool to the touch.
- Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
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 cloth.
• Clean the surfaces with a damp 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.
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.
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.
GB4
