Your new steam oven allows you to coo your favourite
dishes without losing any nutrition property and
eeping their original taste. You can choose both the
traditional coo ing systems or the steam coo ing
system. To obtain the best coo ing results, it is
necessary to get familiar with the oven controls.
Push-Push control nobs
This model is provided with push-push control nobs.
These nobs can be completely sun en inside the
control panel when the oven is not wor ing.
Oven Function Control Knob
Oven Light - The oven light will be on without
any coo ing function
Conventional coo ing - The heat comes from
both the top and bottom element, ensuring even
heating inside the oven.
Grill - The grill element will be on.
Fan coo ing - This allows you to roast or roast
and ba e simultaneously using any shelf,
without flavour transference.
Steam coo ing - The steam coo ing function will
be on (see the following pages for the correct use
of this coo ing function).
Thermostat Control Knob
Turn the thermostat control nob cloc wise to select
temperatures between 50°C and 250°C (MAX).
Thermostat Control Light
The thermostat control light will come on when the
thermostat control nob is turned. The light will remain
on until the correct temperature is reached. It will then
cycle on and off to show the temperature is being
maintained.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during coo ing. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control
panel, as shown in the diagram.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched
off to eep the controls cool. This is quite normal.
The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case
of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and
consequent over-heating, the safety device will stop
the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call
your local Service Force Centre. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the
appliance yourself.

Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
The oven will work only if the time of day
has been set.
1. Set the time of day with the electronic programmer.
2. Switch the oven function control nob to fan coo ing.
3. Set the thermostat control nob to MAX.
4. Open a window for ventilation.
5. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill function
for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the Oven
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling ettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is
not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Coo ware
 Use any oven proof coo ware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
 Ba ing trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the bac
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 Do not use ba ing trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes on coo ing
results
Dishes and tins vary in their thic ness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce coo ing and base browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stic interior and coloured exterior and
dar , heavy utensils increase coo ing and base
browning.
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom of the oven
as shown in the diagram.
It is important that the oven shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Attention!
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuit pans or

Before using the oven for a steam cooking, the
water tank must be filled.
To fill the water tan , open the oven door, pull out the water
tan drawer, unscrew the drawer cap and pour in water
using a graduated vessel, until the pilot light "FULL
WATER TANK" comes on. Consider that not more than
one liter of water can be poured into the water tan .
Then refit the drawer cap and push in the water tan
drawer. Your oven is now ready for a steam coo ing.
If too much water happens to be poured into the
water tan , the exceed water will flow into the oven
cavity through a safety opening. Immediately wipe
the oven cavity dry with a sponge or a soft cloth.
How to set the oven ready for a
steam cooking
ater tank pilot lamps
Pilot lamp "water tan full"
It indicates that the oven is ready to be used for a steam
coo ing.
Pilot lamp "tan out of water"
It indicates that the oven cannot be used for a steam
coo ing and water should be poured into the water tan .
Cleaning cycle pilot lamp
It indicates that the water tan cleaning procedure sould
be carried out or that the steam injector is obstructed.

1 - Before any steam coo ing, fill the water tan as
described in the previous chapter. One liter of water
allows about 1 hour of steam coo ing.
2 - Place the food in suitable ovenproof pans or pots and
place them on the oven shelf. Set the shelf level
according to the coo ing table. The second shelf
level from the bottom usually gives the best coo ing
results.
3 - Turn the oven function control nob on the "STEAM
COOKING" function (symbol ) .
4 - Turn the thermostat control nob on the required tem-
perature between 140° and 220°C. Consider that a
temperature above 220°C will not give good coo ing
results.
Hints and tips about steam
cooking
lDon't cover the pans or pots. This would not allow
steam to come in contact with the food.
lYou can also place food directly on the oven shelf.
In that case, always place the dripping pan at the
lowest level, with some water in it, to avoid smo e
and unpleasant smells.
lIf you need to open the oven door and chec the
food, always remember to switch off the steam
coo ing function by turning the function control nob
on symbol . After having chec ed it, turn bac
the function control nob on symbol to ma e the
steam function operate again.
Steam can condense and produce water
droplets on the oven door glass. This is quite
normal and is not caused by fault of the oven.
We recommend you to wipe away
condensation after all cookings.
Using the Steam Oven

Accessories for steam cooking
Depending on the models, a special accessory it is
supplied with the appliance. This it is meant to allow a
wider range of steam coo ings, especially for fish,
vegetables, etc.
The accessory it includes:
- a diet coo ing double dish, provided with a special
mould to allow a steam injector to be fitted to the dish;
- a small shelf meant to be inserted inside the double
dish to prevent food to lay on the dish surface;
- two different steam injectors, to be used after being
fitted to the exhaust pipe which is supplied with the
appliance.
The diet coo ing double dish is particularly
recommended to coo vegetables, as it allows you to
eep their original taste and nutrition properties.
The direct steam coo ing system will give the best
results with poultry. The long steam injector provided
with holes on its surface must be inserted inside the
joint and ma es steam coo the internal part, while
the outside is gently browned by the traditional
heating elements. The injector holes must not be
covered: for this reason the injector must be inserted
into the empty cavity inside the joint, as shown in the
diagram.

Using the Conventional Oven
When using this setting, heat comes from both the top
and bottom elements. This allows you to coo on a
single level and is particularly suitable for dishes which
require extra base browning such as pizzas, quiches
and flans.
Gratins, lasagnes and hotpots which require extra top
browning also coo well in the conventional oven. This
form of coo ing gives you the opportunity to coo
without the fan in operation.
FHow to Use the
Conventional Oven
1. Turn the oven function control nob to the required
coo ing function ( ).
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required tempe-
rature.
THINGS TO NOTE
l The oven light will come on when the oven function
control nob is set.
l The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show that temperature is being maintained.
The Cooling Fan
 The cooling fan will operate continually during
coo ing. It may run on after the oven is switched
off to eep the controls cool. This is quite normal.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long
the oven has been used and at what temperature. It
may not switch in at all at lower temperature settings
nor run on where the oven has only been used for a
short time.
Hints and Tips
- The middle shelf position allows for the best heat
distribution. To increase base browning simply lower
the shelf position. To increase top browning, raise
the shelf position.
- The material and finish of the ba ing trays and
dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware,
dar , heavy or non-stic utensils increase base
browning, while oven glassware, shiny aluminium
or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and
give less base browning.
- Always place dishes centrally on the shelf to ensure
even browning.
- Stand dishes on suitably sized ba ing trays to
prevent spillage onto the base of the oven and ma e
cleaning easier.
-Do not place dishes, tins or ba ing trays directly on
the oven base as it becomes very hot and damage
will occur.
- For faster preheating use the fan oven function to
preheat the oven until the oven indicator neon goes
out, then swich the selector to the conventional oven
setting.
- Single level coo ing gives best results. If you require
more than one level coo ing use the fan oven
function.

As the fan oven quic ly reaches temperature, it is
not usually necessary to preheat the oven although
you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7
minutes on coo ing times. For recipes which require
higher temperatures, best results are achieved if
the oven is preheated first, e.g. bread, pastries,
scones, souffles, etc.
lLower Temperatures
Fan oven coo ing generally requires lower
temperatures than conventional coo ing.
Follow the temperatures recommended in the
coo ing chart. Remember to reduce temperatures
by about 20-25°C for your own recipes which use
conventional coo ing.
lEven Heating for Baking
The fan oven has uniform heating on all shelf
positions. This means that batches of the same food
can be coo ed in the oven at the same time.
However, the top shelf may brown slightly quic er
than the lower one. This is quite usual. There is no
mixing of flavours between dishes.
FHow to use the Fan Oven
1. Turn the oven function control nob to .
2. Turn the thermostat control to the required temperatu-
re.
Things to note
 The oven fan will operate continually during coo ing.
 The thermostat control light will remain on until the
correct temperature is reached. It will then cycle on
and off to show the temperature is being maintained.
The cooling fan
During coo ing the cooling fan will operate continually.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to eep the
controls cool. This is quite normal.
NOTE
The action of the cooling fan will depend on how long the
oven has been used and at what temperature. It may not
switch in at all at lower temperature settings nor run on
where the oven has only been used for a short time.
The Fan Oven
Hints and Tips
- Shelf positions are not critical, but ma e sure the
shelves are evenly spaced.
- When coo ing more than one dish in the fan oven,
place dishes centrally on the shelves rather than
several dishes on one shelf.
- When the oven is full, you may need to allow slightly
longer coo ing time.
- When the oven is full of the same food, e.g. equal
trays of small ca es or equal size victoria sandwich
ca es, then they will be coo ed in the same time
and removed from the oven together. When different
sizes of trays or types of food, e.g. biscuits and ca es
are coo ed, they will not necessarily be ready
together.
- The fan oven can be used to heat foods through
without thawing first, e.g. fruit tarts, mince pies,
sausage rolls, and other small pastry items. Use a
temperature of 190-200°C and allow 20-40 minutes
(depending on the quantity of food in the oven).
- The use of too high temperatures can cause uneven
browning. Chec with the recommendations for oven
temperatures given in the coo ing charts, but be
prepared to adjust the temperature, if necessary.
Remember to reduce temperatures by about 20-
25°C for your own conventional recipes.
- When roasting do use the trivet in the meat tin. Fat
and meat juices will drain into the meat tin below
and can be used to ma e gravy. The trivet also
prevents splashes of fat from soiling the oven interior.
- The meat tin should not be placed on a heated
hotplate as this may cause the enamel to crac .

The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the
air, at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases
the speed of defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the itchen will influence the speed of
defrosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced ca es, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.
FHow to Use Defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control nob to .
2. Ensure the thermostat control nob is in the OFF
position.
Hints and Tips
 Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film to
prevent drying out during defrosting.
 ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THAWING.
 Frozen food should be placed in a single layer when
ever possible and turned over half way through the
defrosting process.
 Only joints of meat and poultry up to 2 g. (4 lb.) are
suitable for defrosting in this way.
Refer to the following table for approximate defrosting
times.
Chic en 1000 g. 100-140 20-30 Place the chic en on an inverted
saucer on a large plate. Defrost open
and turn at half time or defrost

Grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed.
Always use oven gloves to remove and replace
food in the oven.
Ensure that you support the dripping pan when
removing it from the oven.
FHow to Use the Grill
1. Turn the oven control function nob on .
2. Turn the thermostat control nob on the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thic nesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster coo ing and further
away for more gentle coo ing.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes
before sealing stea s or toasting. Adjust the heat setting
and the shelf as necessary, during coo ing
During coo ing, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as described
for the fan oven function.
Hints and Tips
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to eep them moist
during coo ing.
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.
- The food should be turned over during coo ing, as
required.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat. During
coo ing, the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.

more thorough cleaning using a proprietary oven
cleaner, do not use abrasive scourers or steel wool.
NOTE: Do NOT use caustic base oven cleaners.
Oven Shelves and Shelf
Supports
To clean the oven shelves and the shelf supports, soa
in warm soapy water and remove stubborn mar s with
a well wetted soap impregnated pad. Rinse well and dry
with a soft cloth.
The shelf supports can be removed for easy cleaning
(see diagram). Please, ensure the retaining nuts are
secure when refitting the shelf support.
Before cleaning always allow the cooling fan to
cool the oven down before switching off at the
electricity supply.
This appliance cannot be cleaned with steam or
with a steam cleaning machine.
The oven should be ept clean at all times. A
build-up of fats or other foodstuffs could result in
a fire, especially in the grill pan.
Cleaning materials
Before using any cleaning materials on your oven,
chec that they are suitable and that their use is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Cleaners that contain bleach should NOT be used as
they may dull the surface finishes. Harsh abrasives
should also be avoided.
External cleaning
Regularly wipe over the control panel, oven door and
door seal using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm
water to which a little washing up liquid has been added.
