c rrent at the voltage and freq ency indicated on
the data plate located on the appliance (see below).
Fitting the power supply cable
1. Open the terminal
board by inserting a
screwdriver into the
side tabs of the cover.
Use the screwdriver as
a lever by p shing it
down to open the cover
(see diagram).
2. Loosen the cable
clamp screw and
remove it, sing a
screwdriver as a lever
(see fig re).
3. Remove the wire
contact screws L-N-
, then fasten the wires
nder the screw heads,
respecting the colo r
code: Bl e (N), Brown
(L) and Yellow-Green
Verde ( ).
Connecting the electricity supply cable to the mains
Install a standardised pl g corresponding to the load
indicated on the data plate (see table).
The appliance m st be directly connected to the mains
sing an omnipolar switch with a minim m contact
opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and
the mains. The switch m st be s itable for the charge
indicated and m st comply with c rrent electrical
reg lations (the earthing wire m st not be interr pted
by the switch). The s pply cable m st be positioned
so that it does not come into contact with temperat res
higher than 50°C at any point.
! The installer m st ens re that the correct electrical
connection has been made and that it is f lly
compliant with safety reg lations.
Before connecting the appliance to the power
s pply, make s re that:
 The appliance is earthed and the pl g is compliant
with the law.
 The socket can withstand the maxim m power of
the appliance, which is indicated on the data
plate (see below).
 The voltage is in the range between the val es
indicated on the data plate (see below).
 The socket is compatible with the pl g of the
appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the
pl g, ask an a thorised technician to replace it.
Do not se extension cords or m ltiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power
s pply cable and the electrical socket m st be
easily accessible.

- change the temperat re by t rning the
THERMOSTAT knob
- set the cooking d ration in addition to the cooking
end time
(see Cooking modes)
- stop cooking by t rning the SELECTOR knob to the
0 position.
5. The oven switches off a tomatically after two

the control panel and the oven door. In the FAST
COOKING mode, the fan is activated a tomatically
after ten min tes. In the BAKING mode, the cooling
fan is only activated when the oven is hot.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan

Cooking modes
! All cooking modes have a defa lt cooking
temperat re which may be adj sted man ally
between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the BARBECUE mode, the defa lt power level
val e is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also
be adj sted man ally.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
When sing this traditional cooking mode, it is best
to se one cooking rack only. if more than one rack
is sed, the heat will be distrib ted nevenly.
MULTI-COOKING mode
Since the heat remains constant thro gho t the
oven, the air cooks and browns food in a niform
manner. A maxim m of two racks may be sed at
the same time.
BARBECUE mode
By t rning the THERMOSTAT knob, the different
power levels which may be set will appear on the
display; these range between 50% and 100%. The
high and direct temperat re of the grill is
recommended for food which req ires a high s rface
temperat re. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
GRATIN mode
This combination of feat res increases the
effectiveness of the nidirectional thermal radiation
provided by the heating elements thro gh forced
circ lation of the air thro gho t the oven.
This helps prevent food from b rning on the s rface
and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.
Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
PIZZA OVEN mode
This combination heats the oven rapidly by prod cing
a considerable amo nt of heat, partic larly from the
element at the bottom. If yo se more than one rack
at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway
thro gh the cooking process.
BAKING mode
This mode is ideal for baking temperat re sensitive
foods (s ch as cakes, which need to rise) and for
the preparation of bitesize pastries on 3 shelves
sim ltaneo sly.
FAST COOKING mode
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode.
This mode is partic larly s itable for cooking pre-
packed food q ickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The
best res lts are achieved sing one cooking rack
only.
PROVING mode
The oven reaches and maintains a temperat re of
40°C irrespective of the position of the
THERMOSTAT knob. This mode is ideal for
leavening do gh made with yeast.
Spit roast (only available in certain models)
To operate the spit roast
f nction (see diagram)
proceed as follows:
1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie s pport in position 3 and
insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel
of the oven.
3. Start the rotisserie sing the SELECTOR knob to
select mode or .
! When the mode is activated, the spit will stop if
the door is opened.

P actical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 d ring fan-
assisted cooking. This is beca se excessive direct
heat can b rn temperat re sensitive foods.
! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes,
partic larly when sing the rotisserie spit, place the
dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking
resid es (fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
 Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which
req ires more heat on 2.
 Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
BARBECUE
 Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food
in the centre of the rack.
 We recommend that the power level is set to
maxim m. The top heating element is reg lated
by a thermostat and may not always operate
constantly.
PIZZA OVEN
 Use a light al mini m pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy cr st, do not se the dripping pan as
it prevents the cr st from forming by extending
the total cooking time.
 If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway thro gh the cooking process.

Keep children well away from the appliance.
 Ens re that the power s pply cables of other electrical
appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of
the oven.
 The openings sed for the ventilation and dispersion of
heat m st never be covered.
 Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends
may be hot.
 Always se oven gloves when placing cookware in the
oven or when removing it.
 Do not se al mini m foil to line the bottom of the oven.
 Do not place flammable materials in the oven: If the
appliance is switched on accidentally, the materials co ld
catch fire.
 Always make s re the knobs are in the l/¡ position
when the appliance is not in se.
 When npl gging the appliance, always p ll the pl g from the
mains socket; do not p ll on the cable.
 Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work witho t
having disconnected the appliance from the electricity
mains.
 If the appliance breaks down, nder no circ mstances
sho ld yo attempt to perform the repairs yo rself. Repairs
carried o t by inexperienced persons may ca se inj ry or
f rther malf nctioning of the appliance. Contact a Service
Centre (see Assistance).
 Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.
 The appliance sho ld not be operated by people (incl ding
children) with red ced physical, sensory or mental
capacities, by inexperienced individ als or by anyone who

so that the packaging may be re sed.
 The E ropean Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Eq ipment (WEEE) states that
ho sehold appliances sho ld not be disposed of sing the
normal solid rban waste cycle. Exha sted appliances sho ld
be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-
sing and recycling the materials inside the machine, while
preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to p blic
health. The crossed-o t d stbin is marked on all prod cts to
remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated
waste collection. For f rther information relating to the correct
disposal of exha sted ho sehold appliances, owners may
contact the p blic service provided or their local dealer.
Respecting and conse ving the
