• We recommend that you supervise each step of the
pyrolytic cleaning cycle. A power failure could cause a
temperature increase of the surround or cabinet which
could result in a fire.
It is important that the oven door, the door gasket, the
oven light and the cavity are in good condition to avoid
a fire.
A build-up of fat or other foodstuff could generate white
smoke, irritating for your eyes and the respiratory
system. We recommend that you stop the cleaning
cycle using the ON/OFF button to cool down the oven
cavity. Do not disconnect the appliance from the
electric supply. When the oven has cooled down
remove the food residue with a wet sponge.

Hints and Tips

Always cook with the oven door closed.

The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which
produces a natural circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to
cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft
inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time
and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum.
During cooking steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door. This is absolutely
normal.

However, always stand back from the oven
when opening the oven door during cooking
or at the end of it to allow any build up of
steam or heat to release.

When food is heated, it produces steam in the
same way as a boiling kettle does. When
steam comes in contact of the oven door
glass, it will condense and produce water
droplets.

To reduce condensation, ensure the oven is
well heated before placing food in the oven
cavity. A short oven pre-heating (about 10
minutes) will then be necessary before any
cooking.

We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after each use of the appliance.

Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish
and Meat

You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on the
oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the drip tray
in the first position from the bottom with some water in it.
The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the
oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need to be
cooked at a medium temperature (between 150 and 175
°C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the
outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher
temperature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is
recommended.

Hints and Tips on grilling

If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on the
shelf after spreading a little oil on them.
In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level depending
on meat or fish's thickness.
Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower
position with some water in it.

When using the Thermal Grill Function, select
a maximum temperature of 200°C

Warning! - Do not place objects on the bottom of

the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil
while cooking, as you can damage the enamelled
surfaces and the food you are cooking.
Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and
aluminium foils on the oven shelves.

Warning! - Be careful when you insert and extract
the grid and the drip tray from the oven in order
not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven
cavity.

Cooking times

Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be
cooked, its consistency, and volume.We suggest that
you take particular note of your first cooking experiments
with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for
the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results.
Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate
changes to values given on charts.

Hints and Tips on baking

Cakes usually need to be cooked at a medium tempera­ture (between 150 and 200 °C).
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results
through the oven door glass.

Cleaning the Oven

Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.

This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.

The oven should be kept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.

Cleaning materials

Before using any cleaning materials on your oven, check
that they are suitable and that their use is recommended
by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives should
also be avoided.

External cleaning

Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and door
seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to
which a little washing-up liquid has been added.

To prevent damaging or weakening the door glass
panels avoid the use of the following:

• Household detergent and bleaches

• Impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans

• Brillo/Ajax pads or steel wool pads

• Chemical oven pads or aerosols

• Rust removers

• Bath/Sink stain removers

Clean the outer and inner door glass using warm soapy
water. Should the inner door glass become heavily soiled
it is recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob
Brite is used. Do not use paint scrapers to remove
soilage.

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not
observed the glass panel may shatter.
If the door glass panel becomes chipped or
has deep scratches, the glass will be weakened
and must be replaced to prevent the possibility
of the panel shattering. Contact your local
Service Force Centre who will be pleased to
advise further.

Pyrolytic cleaning

The oven cavity is coated with a special enamel resistant
to high temperatures.
During the pyrolytic cleaning operation, the temperature
inside the oven can reach about 500 °C thus burning food
residuals.
For your security, during the pyrolityc cleaning operation,
the oven door automatically locks when the temperature
inside the oven approaches about 300 °C.

Upon completion of the cleaning operation, the
oven door will be locked until the oven cavity has
cooled down.

The cooling fan operates during cooking until the oven
has cooled down. After cooking, it is advisable to remove
all the food residues with a wet sponge.

However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a
more complete and thorough cleaning, using the pyrolytic
cleaning function. You can select two different levels of
pyrolytic cleaning depending on how dirty the oven is.

If the oven cavity is not very dirty, we recommend that you
select the pyrolytic 1 function (P I) on the programmer
display.

It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft sponge
soaked in warm water after each pyrolytic cleaning cycle
is carried out.

If the oven cavity is very dirty, we advise you to select the
pyrolytic 2 function (P 2) on the programmer display.

During the pyrolytic cleaning function, it is not possible to
use the oven for 2 hours when selecting the Pyr 1 function
and up to 2 1/2 hours when the Pyr 2 function is active.

Oven Shelves

To clean the oven shelves, soak in warm soapy water and
remove stubborn marks with a well wetted soap
impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth.

15

How to use the pyrolytic cleaning
function

Before activating the pyrolytic cleaning function,
remove any excessive spillage and make sure
that the oven is empty. Do not leave anything
inside it (e.g. pans, grids, baking tray, dripping
pan, etc.) as this could heavily damage them.

Ensure that the oven door is closed before
activating the pyrolytic cleaning function.

When the pyrolytic cleaning function is on, it is
advisable not to use the hob as this could cause
overheating and damage the appliance.
During the pyrolytic cleaning cycle the oven door
becomes hot. Children should be kept away until
it has cooled.

Choose this function to clean the oven by pyrolysis.
The following pyro levels are available:
Pyrolytic 1 (P I) time : 2 h = 30 min heat-up +1 h at
480°C + 30 min cooling down.
Pyrolytic 2 (P 2) time : 2 h 30 min. = 30 min heat-up +1
h 30 min at 480°C + 30 min cooling down.

Cleaning The Oven Door

The oven door is made up of four glasses.
It is possible to remove them for easier cleaning.

Warning - The oven door may bang shut if you try
to extract the inner glasses when the oven door
is still fitted to the oven.

Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to
remove it from the oven.

Proceed as follows:

1. open the oven door completely and locate the two

hinges which link the door to the oven;

3. handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides,

then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half­closed; at this point, gently pull the oven door away
from the oven frame;

2. unlock and turn the small levers located on the two
hinges;

4. place the oven door on a solid surface, being careful
to avoid the glass becoming scratched. Then
remove the two screws located on the sides of the
oven door;

5. extract the inner glass support; 6. gently extract the three inner glasses, starting with
the uppermost one first.

18

Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh
cloth only. Never use harsh abrasives as they could
damage the special heat-resistant surface of the inner
glasses.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse.

The two glasses in the middle are special glasses
that have been treated to resist heat. They are
marked with a small dot located on a corner and a
black frame respectively.

It is important that, when refitting the oven door,
the inner glasses are fixed in the right position.

To check if this operation has been carried out
correctly, when inserting the glass, make sure that
the surface of the glass marked with a black frame
looks downwards and that the dot is located on the
upper left corner of the glass (Fig 24).

DO NOT clean the oven door while the glass
panels are warm. If this precaution is not observed
the glass panels may shatter.
If the door glass panels become chipped or have
deep scratches, the glasses will be weakened and
must be replaced to prevent the possibility of the
panel shattering. Contact your local Service Force
Centre who will be pleased to advise further.
