instruction manual carefully.
• Defective installation, operation errors and maintenance and cleaning mistakes as well
as any modifications may cause the incorrect operation, damage and injuries.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for injuries or damages resulting from non-
observance of the above regulations or tampering and using non-original spare
parts.
• Immediately following the reception of the appliance, make sure there are no transport
damages, and the packaging is not damaged. In case there are damages observed or
elements missing, immediately notify the transportation company or the

- 12 -
vendor/manufacturer and provide them with article number and serial number (type

level. In order to level the appliance, it is
enough to screw the feet in or out.
CAUTION!
Never use the appliance without feet!
• If the appliance is used without feet, air flow is obstructed and electronic
components and external housing walls may not be cooled; this in turn may lead
to overheating and damage to the appliance components.

national, and local regulations in force.
• The appliance must be connected to a potential equalization circuit (ground). The
clamp is located at the back of the appliance, next to the marking .
• Position the appliance in such way that the plug is always easily accessible
for quick disconnecting when required.
• Current circuit of the mains socket must feature at least 16 A protection. Only
connect the appliance directly to a wall socket; do not use any extension cords nor
power strips.
5.1.5 First Start-Up
Before the first start-up electric appliances must be thoroughly inspected in order to
confirm the consistency of the appliance and its installation with regulations in force,
technical data, and recommendations for safety.
Carefully check the following:
→ temperature in the installation location must be higher than +4°C.
→ the chamber must be empty.
→ all packaging elements must be fully removed, including the protective
film on external walls.
→ do not block nor obstruct ventilation openings.
Execute a test run, without filling the appliance with food products. Follow indications
in section 5.2 'Indications for the User'.

5.2 Indications for the User
CAUTION!
Read this instruction manual carefully, as it contains important safety
and operation indications for the convection oven.
Store the instruction manual properly, to be able to use it at any moment.
The defective installation, operation errors and maintenance and cleaning
mistakes as well as any modifications may cause the incorrect operation,
damage and injuries.
5.2.1 Safety Indications
• Neverinstall the appliance in the vicinity of heat sources, such as a grill or a deep-
fryer.
• Flammable materials should never be left in the vicinity of the appliance. Fire
hazard!
• hen cooking or after its finish, the containers for food articles or other containers
may be very hot; pay particular attention when handling them in order to avoid
burns. They may be touched only in suitable protective gloves. Risk of burns!
• Be particularly cautious when opening the appliance door. Risk of burns due to
escaping hot steam.
• hen glass parts of the door get damaged or broken, they should be immediately
replaced (contact the service company).
• If the appliance is not to be used (e.g. for 12 hours), leave the appliance door open.
• If the appliance is not to be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g., a number of
days) disconnect the appliance from mains power supply.
5.2.2 Operation
• Before use clean the device according to instructions in section 6 'Cleaning
and Maintenance'.
• Water pan for moistening baked goods should be
placed at the bottom of the appliance (Fig. to the right).
• To prevent products from drying during fermentation,
fill the water pan with cold water. Mind the marking for
full filling of the water pan.
• Heat and humidity accelerate fermentation and thus
they greatly shorten the time baking time.
• Connect the appliance to a grounded socket and switch it with the ON/OFF switch, by
moving it to the up ('I') position.

- 16 -
• Set the temperature suitable for a given type of dough for baking, by rotating the
temperature controller clockwise to the required position in the range of 30°C – 60°C.
• The orange heating indicator light will be lit, thus indicating the heating up process of
the appliance. hen the desired temperature has been reached, the orange heating
control light goes off. The appliance is ready for fermentation process.
• The prepared, raw baked goods placed on trays are inserted into the appliance on
guide rails. Close the glass pane door.
• hen the temperature inside the appliance drops, the thermostat should switch the
heating on again and the appliance will heat up to the set temperature anew, and thus
the temperature in the chamber remains constant.
• Supervise the fermentation process.
• hen the expected results are obtained, take the baked goods from the appliance
and keep them baking in an oven.
WARNIN ! Hot surface!
When the temperature setting is high, the trays heat up considerably.
To avoid burns, always take the trays with protective gloves.
• After operation set the appliance's temperature controller to '0', flip the ON/OFF
switch to 'O' position and disconnect the appliance from electric mains supply (pull
the plug out).
5.2.3 Indications and Advices
• The fermenting cupboard should never be used for inducing growth of frozen dough;
before the fermentation process dough must be completely defrosted.
• Make sure that the dough does not dry too extensively during defrosting, for
otherwise it will not grow enough and may crack.
• Do not allow for excessive growth of the dough. Excessive growth may cause the
dough to drop after baking. Optimum effects are obtained when the baked goods are
grown in the fermenting cupboard to approx. 75–80% of final size; following this they
are placed in an oven in order to finish the baking process.
• If the dough grows too little, the baked goods will not reach the expected size
during baking, and will feature too dense (stiff) a structure.
