qualified professional. The earth conductor (yellow-green) must be
approximately 10 mm longer than the other conductors. For any
repairs, refer only to the Customer Care Department and request the
use of original spare parts.
• Failure to comply with the above can compromise the safety of the
appliance and invalidate the guarantee.
EN 03
• Any excess of spilled material should be removed before cleaning.
• A long power supply failure during an occurring cooking phase may
cause a malfunction of the monitor. ln this case contact customer
service.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in
order to avoid overheating.
• When you place the shelf inside, make sure that the stop is directed
upwards and in the back of the cavity. The shelf must be inserted
completely into the cavity.

1. General Instructions
We thank you for choosing one of our products. For the
best results with your oven, you should read this
manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
Before installing the oven, take note of the serial
number so that you can give it to customer service staff
if any repairs are required. Having removed the oven
from its packaging, check that it has not been damaged
during transportation. If you have doubts, do not use
the oven and refer to a qualified technician for advice.
Keep all of the packaging material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, nails) out of the reach of children. When
the oven is switched on for the first time, strong
smelling smoke can develop, which is caused by the glue on the insulation panels surrounding the oven
heating for the first time. This is absolutely normal and, if it occurs, you should wait for the smoke to
dissipate before putting food in the oven. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in cases where
the instructions contained in this document are not observed.
NOTE: the oven functions, properties and accessories cited in this manual will vary, depending on the
model you have purchased.
1.1 Safety Indications
Only use the oven for its intended purpose, that is only for the cooking of foods; any other use, for
example as a heat source, is considered improper and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot
be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable usage.
The use of any electrical appliance implies the observance of some fundamental rules:
- do not pull on the power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket;
- do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet;
- in general the use of adaptors, multiple sockets and extension cables is not recommended;
- in case of malfunction and/or poor operation, switch off the appliance and do not tamper with it.
1.2 Electrical Safety
ENSURE THAT AN ELECTRICIAN OR QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MAKES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
The power supply to which the oven is connected must conform with the laws in force in the country of
installation. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the failure to observe
these instructions. The oven must be connected to an electrical supply with an earthed wall outlet or a
disconnector with multiple poles, depending on the laws in force in the country of installation. The
electrical supply should be protected with suitable fuses and the cables used must have a transverse
section that can ensure correct supply to the oven.
CONNECTION
The oven is supplied with a power cable that should only be connected to an electrical supply with 220-
240 Vac power between the phases or between the phase and neutral. Before the oven is connected to
the electrical supply, it is important to check:
- Oven Max output on the rating plate
- Correctly rated circuit breaker/fuse
The grounding wire connected to the oven's earth terminal must be connected to the earth terminal of
the power supply.
WARNING
Before connecting the oven to the power supply, ask a qualified electrician to check the continuity of the
power supply's earth terminal. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any accidents or other
problems caused by failure to connect the oven to the earth terminal or by an earth connection that has
defective continuity.
EN 06
1.3 Recommendations
After each use of the oven, a minimum of cleaning will help keep the oven perfectly clean.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil or single-use protection available from stores. Aluminium
foil or any other protection, in direct contact with the hot enamel, risks melting and deteriorating the
enamel of the insides. In order to prevent excessive dirtying of your oven and the resulting strong
smokey smells, we recommend not using the oven at very high temperature. It is better to extend the
cooking time and lower the temperature a little. In addition to the accessories supplied with the oven,
we advise you only use dishes and baking moulds resistant to very high temperatures.
1.4 Installation
The manufacturers have no obligation to carry this out. If the assistance of the manufacturer is required
to rectify faults arising from incorrect installation, this assistance is not covered by the guarantee. The
installation instructions for professionally qualified personnel must be followed. Incorrect installation
may cause harm or injury to people, animals or belongings. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for such harm or injury.
The oven can be located high in a column or under a worktop. Before fixing, you must ensure good
ventilation in the oven space to allow proper circulation of the fresh air required for cooling and
protecting the internal parts. Make the openings specified on last page according to the type of fitting.
NOTE: as the oven could require maintenance work, it is advisable to keep another wall socket available
so that the oven can be connected to this if it is removed from the space in which it is installed. The
power cable must only be substituted by technical service staff or by technicians with equivalent
qualifications.
1.5 Waste management and environmental protection
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU regarding
electric and electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both polluting substances
(that can have a negative effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be
reused). It is important that the WEEE undergo specific treatments to correctly remove and
dispose of the pollutants and recover all the materials. Individuals can play an important
role in ensuring that the WEEE do not become an environmental problem; it is essential to
follow a few basic rules:
- the WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
- the WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a registered
company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a new
appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor who must accept it free of charge as a one-off, as
long as the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the purchased appliance.
SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as infrequently
as possible, because heat from the cavity disperses every time it is opened. For a significant energy
saving, switch off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the planned end of the cooking time, and
use the residual heat that the oven continues to generate. Keep the seals clean and in order, to avoid any
heat dispersal outside of the cavity. If you have an electric contract with an hourly tariff, the "delayed
cooking" programme makes energy saving more simple, moving the cooking process to start at the
reduced tariff time slot.
1.6 Declaration of compliance
By placing the mark on the appliance, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European
safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.

3.2 Cooking Modes
EN 11
GRILL: use the grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used alone and you can adjust the temperature. Five
minutes preheating is required to get the elements red-hot. Success is
guaranteed for grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. White meats should be put at a
distance from the grill; the cooking time is longer, but the meat will be tastier. You
can put red meats and fish fillets on the shelf with the drip tray underneath. The
oven has two grill positions: Grill: 1800 W Barbecue: 3000 W
MASTER BAKE: This function allows to cook in a healthier way, by reducing the
amount of fat or oil required. The combination of heating elements with a
pulsating cycle of air ensures a perfect baking result.
MULTI-LEVEL: We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and
vegetables. Heat penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and
preheating times are reduced. You can cook different foods at the same time
with or without the same preparation in one or more positions. This cooking
method gives even heat distribution and the smells are not mixed.Allow about
ten minutes extra when cooking foods at the same time.
CONVENTIONAL: Both top and bottom heating elements are used. Preheat the
oven for about ten minutes. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and
baking. For seizing red meats, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread, foil wrapped
food (papillotes), flaky pastry. Place the food and its dish on a shelf in mid
position.
BOTTOM HEATING + FAN: The bottom heating element is used with the fan
circulating the air inside the oven. This method is ideal for juicy fruit flans, tarts,
quiches and pâté.It prevents food from drying and encourages rising in cakes, bread
dough and other bottom-cooked food.Place the shelf in the bottom position.

4. Oven cleaning and maintenance
4.1 General notes on cleaning
The lifecycle of the appliance can be extended through regular cleaning. Wait for the oven to cool before
carrying out manual cleaning operations. Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool or sharp objects for
cleaning, so as to not irreparably damage the enamelled parts. Use only water, soap or bleach-based
detergents (ammonia).
GLASS PARTS
It is advisable to clean the glass window with absorbent kitchen towel after every use of the oven. To
remove more obstinate stains, you can use a detergent-soaked sponge, well wrung out, and then rinse with
water.
OVEN WINDOW SEAL
If dirty, the seal can be cleaned with a slightly damp sponge.
ACCESSORIES
Clean accessories with a wet, soapy sponge before rinsing and drying them: avoid using abrasive
detergents.
DRIP PAN
After using the grill, remove the pan from the oven. Pour the hot fat into a container and wash the pan in hot
water, using a sponge and washing-up liquid.
If greasy residues remain, immerse the pan in water and detergent. Alternatively, you can wash the pan in
the dishwasher or use a commercial oven detergent. Never put a dirty pan back into the oven.
4.2 Self-cleaning oven with catalytic panels
Special self-cleaning panels covered in a micro-porous coating are available as optional extras for all
models. If they are fitted, the oven no longer needs to be cleaned by hand.
The fat that is splattered onto the sides of the oven during roasting is eliminated by the microporous
coating which breaks the fat down by catalysis and transforms it into gas.
Excessive splattering may nevertheless block the pores and therefore hinder self-cleaning. The self-
cleaning capacity may be restored by switching on the empty oven to maximum for about 10-20
minutes.
Do not use abrasive products, metal cleaning wads, sharp objects, rough cloths, or chemical products
and detergents that may permanently damage the catalytic lining.
It is a good idea to use deep roasting trays to roast fatty foods such as joints of meat etc. and to put a tray
underneath the grill to catch surplus fat.If the walls of the oven are so thickly coated in grease that the
catalytic lining is no longer effective remove surplus grease with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot
water.
The lining must be porous for self-cleaning to be effective.
N.B.: All catalytic linings currently on the market have a working life of about 300 hours. They should
therefore be replaced after about 300 hours.
OVEN LIGHTING
Disconnect the power supply from the oven before cleaning or replacing the lamp.
The bulb and its cover are made of material resistant to high temperatures.
