INSTALLATION
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
After unpacking the oven, be sure that it has not been damaged during transport and that the oven door closes properly. In the event of problems, contact the dealer
or your nearest After-sales Service. To avoid any damage, only remove the oven from its polystyrene foam base at the time of installation.
PREPARING THE HOUSING UNIT
• Kitchen units in contact with the oven must be heat resistant (min 90°C).
• Carry out all cabinet cutting work before tting the oven in the housing and carefully remove all wood chips and sawdust.
• After installation, the bottom of the oven must no longer be accessible.
• For correct appliance operation, do not obstruct the minimum gap between the worktop and the upper edge of the oven.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Be sure the power voltage specied on the appliance dataplate is the same as the mains voltage. The dataplate is on the front edge of the oven (visible when the door
is open).
• Power cable replacement (type H05 RR-F 3 x 1.5 mm2) must be carried out by a qualied electrician. Contact an authorized service centre.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Before use:
- Remove cardboard protection pieces, protective lm and adhesive labels from accessories.
- Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it at 200° for about an hour to eliminate the smell and fumes from the insulating materials and protective grease.
During use:
- Do not place heavy objects on the door as they could damage it.
- Do not cling to the door or hang anything from the handle.
- Do not cover the inside of the oven with aluminium foil.
- Do not pour water into the inside of a hot oven; this could damage the enamel coating.
- Do not drag pots or pans across the bottom of the oven as this could damage the enamel coating.
- Be sure that the electrical cables of other appliances do not touch hot parts of the oven or become trapped in the door.
- Do not expose the oven to atmospheric agents.

• Clean the surfaces with a damp Microbre cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Finish o 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.

RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS
How to read the cooking table
The table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time. Cooking times start from the moment food is
placed in the oven, excluding pre-heating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and
type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories
supplied and preferably dark coloured metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in pyrex or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking
times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied) to be placed on the
various shelves.
Cooking dierent foods at the same time
Using the “CONVECTION BAKE” function, you can cook dierent foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: sh and vege-
tables), using dierent shelves. Switch leveles two-thirds through cooking if necessary. Remove the food which requires less cooking time and leave food which
requires longer cooking time in the oven.
Desserts
- Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark coloured metal cake tins and always position them on the wire shelf supplied.
To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air.
- To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges.
- If the cake “sinks” during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and mixing more gently.
- For sweets with moist llings (cheesecake or fruit pies) use the “CONVECTION BAKE” function. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the
bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the lling.
Meat
- Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the dish,
basting the meat during cooking for added avour. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil.
- When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer
cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill. Turn the meat
two thirds of the way through cooking.
To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water directly under the grill on which the meat is placed. Top-up when necessary.
-Turnspit (only in some models)
Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat on the turnspit rod, tying it with string if chicken, and check that it is secure
before inserting the rod in the seat located on the front wall of the oven and resting it on the respective support. To prevent smoke and to collect cooking juices, it is
advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water on the rst level. The rod has a plastic handle which must be removed before starting to cook, and used at the
end of cooking to avoid burns when taking the food out of the oven.
Pizza
Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two thirds of the way through cooking.
