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

heat build-up which would affect the ba ing results and
damage the oven enamel.

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.
