1. WARNINGS FOR SAFE USE
This manual is an integral part of the appliance and must be kept in its
entirety and for the full life time of the oven. It must be read carefully before
using and installing the appliance.
This oven was designed for use only as a household appliance for cooking
and heating food. All other uses (for example, heating rooms) is to be
considered improper, and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer declines
all responsibility for different uses.
It is intended to come into contact with food products and complies with
European Directive 89/109/CEE.
It has been designed, manufactured and introduced into the market in
compliance with:
- safety requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/CE;
- protection requirements of the directive EMC 2004/108/CE.
- requirements of the directive 93/68/CEE.
The various parts of the packaging must not be dispersed in the
environment, but disposed of in compliance with the local regulations for
refuse disposal.
This appliance is subject to European Directive 2002/96/CE for the disposal
of electrical and electronic refuse. The symbol to the side indicates that
the product must not be dealt with as domestic refuse, but must, instead,
be delivered to an authorised collection centre for recycling electrical and
electronic refuse.
Before disposing of it, you must make it unusable by cutting off the power
cable.
The identifying data of the oven (model, serial number and technical data)
are included on the rating plate applied on the door stop.
Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with
the regulations in force.
Should the appliance not function, disconnect it from the power supply and
call the nearest Foster Technical Assistance Centre.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance!

FOR CORRECT USE OF THE OVEN:
• The appliance is intended for use by adults; do not allow children
near it.
• Do not put inflammable objects into the oven that could start a fire.
• It is an appliance that generates heat, therefore limit contact with the
outside and avoid all contact with the internal parts.
• To open the door correctly, hold the handle in the middle.
• Always use oven gloves to insert or extract containers.
• Do not obstruct ventilation openings and heat dispersal slits.
• Do not rest any weights on the door while it is open which could
damage the hinges.
• Don not hang any weight from the handle of the oven door.
• Do not pull the power cable when removing the plug from the
socket.
TO SAVE ENERGY:
• Pre-heat the oven only for the time strictly necessary.
• Use dark coloured oven containers because they absorb heat much
better.
• Open the door only when strictly necessary, in order not to let heat
escape.
• Use the oven from late afternoon until the early hours of the morning
in order to reduce the power consumption demand on electricity
companies.
• Keep seals clean and efficient, so that they do not allow any heat to
escape.
• When finished using it, always make sure that the oven is switched
off.

kept constant at the value set for the whole cooking time.
For the best cooking results, always use the lower shelf to cook any type of food and
the upper shelf only for grilling, toasting or gratineeing.

5. USING THE OVEN
FIRST TIME USE
Clean the oven carefully with water and activate the oven at the maximum
temperature for approximately 30 minutes, in order to get rid of any manufac-
turing grease residues that could give off unpleasant smells during cooking.
During cooking, do not place any pans or trays on the bottom of the oven as this
could damage the enamel. If using baking paper, position it in such a way that it
does not obstruct the circulation of air inside the oven.
Attention: keep cooking under control, given that high temperatures are in-
volved.
The grill can also be used to gratinee and brown food after it has been cooked.
While the grill is on, the door must remain closed. Before opening it, switch
off the appliance a wait for a few minutes.
In accordance with the height of the containers and the food to be cooked, the lower
shelf runner should be used for normal baking and the highest one for the using
the grill.
5.1 FAN-ASSISTED COOKING
Various types of food can be cooked
at the same time because the hot
air at the set temperature circulates
evenly throughout the whole oven.
Cooking times with the hot air system
are quicker than traditional static coo-
king, and therefore temperatures15°-
20°C lower than those normally sug-
gested in cookery books should be
used.
GB

5.2 COOKING ON THE RACK
Turn the function knob to the
position, set the desired temperature
and pre-heat the oven until it reaches
the selected temperature.
Then insert the rack 1with the food to
be cooked resting on top of it, lightly
oiled. Then slide in the drip tray 2im-
mediately under the rack.
The warm air immediately surrounds
the food to be cooked at all points and
causes it to brown all over.
5.3 GRILLING
Turn the function knob to the position and the thermostat knob to the max posi-
tion. Pre-heat the grill for about 5 minutes; in the oven roof, you will see the infrared
grill element 3becoming a bright red colour. Next insert the food to be grilled, lightly
oiled, in the most convenient position, which is usually the position closest to the grill.
Slide in the drip tray if the food is placed on the rack.
5.4 FAN-ASSISTED GRILL COOKING
Turn the function knob to the position and the thermostat knob to the max posi-
tion; the strong heating of the grill is increased by the action of the fan, which allows
more a more tender and even roasting of foods.

B. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before carrying out the electrical connection make sure, referring to the data on the
identification plate, that:
• the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage specified for the appliance;
• the household system and the power outlet can support the power of the ap-
pliance.
The rating plate is affixed on the door stop.
• Connection to the electrical mains supply must be carried out by qualified
personnel in accordance with current regulations.
• The installer is responsible for correct connection in compliance with safety
regulations.
• A plug that is adequate for the power of the appliance must be attached to
the power supply cable. The plug must be connected to a power outlet that
has an earth connection.
•The connection can be made to an omnipolar switch with a minimum
opening of 3mm between the contacts, of adequate size for the power
and compliant with current regulations.
• The earth wire must not be interrupted by the switch.
• The socket or omnipolar switch used for the connection must remain acces-
sible when the domestic appliance is installed.
• The power supply cable must not be able to touch points that are 50°C above
the ambient temperature.
• Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and risk
of burns. If the power supply cable is replaced, the new cable must have a
cross-section of no less than 1.5 mm2 (3 x 1.5 cable) and must resist tem-
peratures up to 90°C.
It is mandatory to attach the appliance to the earthing system. Our company
declines all responsibility for non-functioning of the earthing system and for
connections that are not compliant with the provisions of the law.
