Installing your appliance
Building in
To do this :
1) Drill a pilot hole in the cabinet panel to avoid splitting the wood.
2) Attach the oven with the two screws.
CHOICE OF LOCATION
The diagrams above determine the dimensions of a cabinet that will be able to hold your oven.
The oven can be installed under a work top or in a column unit (open* or closed) of suitable dimensions for built-in installation (see dia-
gram opposite).
Your oven has optimised air circulation that allows it to achieve remarkable cooking and cleaning results if the following guidelines are
followed:
• Centre the oven in the cabinet so as to guarantee a minimum distance of 10 mm between the appliance and the neighbouring cabinet.
• The material or coating of the cabinet must be heat-resistant.
• For greater stability, attach the oven in the cabinet with two screws through the holes provided for this purpose on either side of the
front inner panel (fig 1).

The appliance must be recess-fitted correctly to ensure electrical
safety. During fitting and maintenance operations, the appliance
must be unplugged from the electrical system; fuses must be
switched off or removed.
The electrical connections are made before the appliance is
installed in its housing.
Ensure that:
- the electrical installation has sufficient power,
- the electrical wires are in good condition,
- the diameter of the conductors complies with the requirements
of the installation.
Your oven must be connected via a (standard) 3 x 1.5 mm2power
cable (Ph + N + earth) which must be connected to a 220-240V~
single-phase supply via a single phase + neutral + earth standard
power socket to IEC 60083 or via an all-pole isolator complying
with the requirements of the installation.
Warning
The safety wire (green-yellow) is connected to the appli-
ance’s terminal and must be connected to the electrical
installation’s earth terminal.
It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains
after installation.
Disconnection may be achieved by providing an accessible plug
or by incorporating a switch in the fixed supply cabling, comply-
ing with installation rules.
The installation’s fuse must be rated at 16A.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its after-sales service department or similar qualified
personnel, to prevent any danger.
Warning
We cannot be held responsible for any accident or inci-
dent resulting from non-existent, defective or incorrect earth-
ing.
If the electrical installation in your residence requires any
changes for connecting your appliance, call a qualified electri-
cian.
If the oven malfunctions in any way, unplug the appliance or
remove the fuse for the circuit to which the oven is connected.

Recommendations:
The cooking time can be adjusted from 35°C to 250°C in increments of 5°C.
The cooking time can be set from 0 to 9 hours 59 minutes.
It is better to set the minimum time and then increase it, if necessary. Check the colour of
the food.
Always position the accessories (the shelf or the enamel dish) at level 1 or 2 as this will
optimise heat distribution and cooking quality.
Use heat-resistant cookware.
Protect your hands when handling dishes as they may be very hot.
If you want to defrost food after using the fan oven function, we recommend that you let
the oven cool down for 10 minutes. This will give you better results.
To cook 2 apple pies at the same time: 60-90 minutes at 200°C. We suggest that you put
the first pie in the enamel dish and the second in a pie dish placed on the shelf at level 3.
Switch the two dishes half way through cooking.

When using the grill, you must protect your hands when handling dishes and use cookware
that is suitable for use at high temperatures, such as heat-resistant glass or porcelain.
There are two grill power levels: medium or high.
As a general rule, we recommend that you use the high grill setting for meat and fish and the
medium grill for gratins and for browning more delicate dishes. Position the shelf according
to the height of the dish or the food.
