the machine must be done, pursuant to the law, only by a qualified
technician, who will previously check (IEC standards), with suitable
means and tools, the effectiveness of the ground electrodes and the
earthing system to which the device will be connected.
For installations outside the national territory, observe strictly the
regulations in force in the country where the machine will be used.

14 - Ed.1/2012 Rev.0
ENG
Make the connection following the provided technical manners, respecting both the
cyclic sequence of phases of connection, and the color coding of conductors.
2.4 Preliminary installation requirements

MACHINE USE
3.1 Controls description
The electrical control panel is placed in front of the machine in an ergonomic position, and
is configured as follows:
1. Control thermostat of the upper deck.
2. Control thermostat of the lower deck.
3. Indicator lamp of the upper deck
4. Power switch internal light chamber .
5. Indicator lamp of the lower deck
3.2 Machine start-up
Before proceeding to use the oven for cooking food, it is necessary to adequately preheat the
cooking compartment.
Step
Action
1
Insert the plug in the socket located on the shunt box
2
Make sure that the magnetothermic switch and the differential switch are both
on.
3
Turn the power socket’s disconnection switch to I/ON.
4
Turn the oven on and act on temperature commands of the cooking chamber at
a temperature of about 200° C and maintain this temperature for about an

hour.
While the oven is being preheated, it will emit steam with an unpleasant smell.
This is due to the surface oxidation of the annealed heating elements.
5
When the first cycle is completed, the metal will be stabilized and will no longer
produce any unpleasant odor. While personally supervising the oven, open the
front door and keep it open for several minutes so as to change the air in the
oven more quickly, then close the door.
6
After the preheating phase has been performed, all the metal and refractory
components in the cooking compartment will have reached the stabilization
temperature and it will then be possible to normally use the oven.
For subsequent use of the oven it will not be necessary to perform the above
preheating cycle again.
3.3 Periodic use of the oven
Before using the oven carry out the following check-outs and arrangements:
Step
Action
1
Insert the plug in the socket located on the shunt box
2
Make sure that the magnetothermic switch and the differential switch are both
on.
3
Turn the power socket’s disconnection switch to I/ON.
4
Turn the oven on and act on the thermostat of the cooking chamber, setting the
desired temperature (usually between 290 and 310 ° C).
5
Wait for the oven to reach the desired temperature.
6
When the desired temperature is reached, open the door and place the pizzas in
the oven. It is even possible to place them directly on the refractory material
instead of on containers or pans.
It is recommended, in order to avoid thermal shock in the cell area and limit the consumption
of energy, to open the door only for the time necessary to introduce or take out the pizzas or
other food.
At the end of the production cycle, turn the oven off using the switch ON /
OFF in the section “E” and turn on 0/OFF the switch / outlet line.

3.3 Cleaning the machine
Before carrying out cleaning (or maintenance) procedures:
Place the main switch to 0/0FF and disconnect the line by removing the plug from the
socket;
report the current operation by signboard;
wait until the oven has cooled completely (it takes several hours)
To clean adequately the:
Refractory bricks: Use a cloth dampened with only water or a brush with stiff
bristles excluding any kind of detergent, solvent or chemical product (the high
temperature reached provides the automatic sterilization of everything that is inside
the oven).
Outside the machine: Use a clean sponge with a small amount of adequate
detergent and cleaning products.
3.5 Regular maintenance
Once cleaning operations of the different pieces of the machine are finished,
refit them in their initial position and make sure they are correctly placed by
tightening the corresponding fixing devices when necessary.
Do not wash and/or clean:
I. by spraying water jets on the machine or its components;
II. Using abrasive cleaners, cream cleaners containing abrasives,
solvents or diluents.
Do not use the oven to heat or dry animals and similar.
The oven should not be used for any other purpose outside of those
mentioned.
