Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the required tempe-
rature. If you need more heat from the bottom or from the
top, turn the oven function control knob to (top heating
element only) or (bottom heating element only).
The Fan Oven
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the required tempe-
rature. The fan behind the back panel circulates heated air
into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven at
the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (fig.4). If you are cooking only
one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this
will give you better results.
rilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
( or ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. With the setting , you will obtain even
heating on the whole surface of the dish. When grilling
meat or fish, spread a little oil on them and always place
them on the oven grid. The shelf level depends on the
thinckness of the food. Always place the dripping pan at
the lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smoke and
unpleasant smells.
Thermal grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant symbol
() and set the thermostat knob on the required tempe-
rature. Select a maximum temperature of 200°C.
The full grill element and the oven fan operate alternately,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and
turn food is reduced. With the exception of toast and rare
steaks, you can thermal grill all the foods you would
normally cook under a convetional grill.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF
position (symbol : l). The oven fan operates without
heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside
the oven.

Hints and Tips
 The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
 o not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of the
oven and damage the oven enamel.
 Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when placing
or removing food in the oven, not to let any fat or oil fall
on the oven base. If this happens, carefully clean the
oven to avoid unpleasant smells or smoke.
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 dripping
pan 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 a medium
temperature cooking (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 tempera-
ture (between 200 and 250 ° C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on baking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
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.
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.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Replacing the Oven Light
 Ensure the electricity supply is switched off before
carrying out this operation.
The oven bulb has to comply to these features:
a) resistant to temperatures of 300 °C;
b) electric rate: 230 V - 50 Hz;
c) electric power rate: 15 W.;
d) connection type: E 14.
To replace the bulb, proceed as follows (Fig. 8):
a) push in and turn the glass lid anticlockwise;
b) remove tha faulty bulb;
c) replace it with a new one;
d) refit the glass lid;
e) switch on the electricity supply.
General Cleaning
 Before cleaning, always allow the oven to cool down.
 When using spray cleaning products, be careful not
to spread them on the heating elements or on the
thermostat sensor.
 Never use harsh abrasives, steel wool or cleaners
with bleach, as they could damage the enamel and
the oven door glass.
The Oven Cavity
The enamelled oven cavity is best cleaned whilst the oven
is still warm. It is advisable to wipe the oven over with a soft
cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use.
However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a
more complete cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner.
In case of particularly tough stains, you can use stainless
steel cleaning products or some warm vinegar.
If cooking fruits, some over-heated natual acids can
squeeze and settle on the oven enamel, causing stains
quite difficult to remove. This could affect the enamel
brightness, but it will have no consequence on the oven
performances. To avoid these stains to be burnt out during
the next cooking, carefully clean the oven cavity after all
fruits cookings.
The Oven Door and its gasket
Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to
remove it from the oven.
Proceed as follows:
a) open the oven door completely;
b) find the hinges linking the door to the oven (fig
7);
c) unlock and turn the small levers located on the
two hinges (fig. 6);
d) handle the door by its left- and right-hand sides,
then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half-
closed;
e) gently pull the oven door off its site (fig. 6);
f) place it on a steady plan;
g) unscrew the two screws marked with lett. A
fig.7;
h) pull up the oven door glass and take it away from
the oven door.
Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh
cloth only.
Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door,
following the procedure in reverse.
The correct operation of the oven is ensured by a gasket
placed round the edge of the oven cavity.
 Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If
necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning
products.
 If the gasket shows to be damaged, call you local
Service Centre. o not use the oven until it has been
repaired.
