Thevarious featuresofferedby youroven areselected by
means of selector knob “B” and thermostat “C” situated
on the control panel.
Notice: The first time you use your appliance, we recom-
mend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing
in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door
and let the room air.The odour that is often detected dur-
ing this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances
used to protect the oven during storage and until it is in-
stalled.
Notice: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom
shelfof the oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from
dripping onto the bottom of the oven only when grilling
food or when using the rotisserie (only available on cer-
tain models).For all other types of cooking, never use the
bottom shelf and never place anything on the bottom of
the oven when it is in operation because this could dam-
agethe enamel.Always placeyourcookware(dishes, alu-
minium foil, etc. etc.) on the grid provided with the appli-
ance inserted especially along the oven guides.
N.B.:Shouldtheappliancebe equipped with anelectronic
programmer, to usethe electric oven, just pressbutton (
(themsymbol will appear onthedisplay)before selecting
the desired cooking function.

Grill d
Both of the top heating elements turn on.On this setting,
food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the
downward direction by the electric heating element.The
very high temperature and direct heat of the grill make it
possible to brown meats on the surface while locking in
the juices to keep them tender.
The oven light
Set knob “B” to the zsymbol to turn it on. It lights the
oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating ele-
ments in the oven come on.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some
models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on
automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard
exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.

How to KeepYour Oven in Shape
Before cleaning your oven, or performing maintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
•Donotusesteamequipmenttoclean the appliance.
• the enamelled or stainless steel parts should be
washed with lukewarm water without using any abra-
sive powdersorcorrosivesubstances which couldruin
them; Stainless steel could get stained. If these stains
are difficult to remove, use special products available
on the market. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse
thoroughly and dry.
• the inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned
immediately after use, when it is still warm, with hot
water and soap;the soap should be rinsed away and
the interior dried thoroughly.Avoid using abrasive de-
tergents (for example cleaning powders, etc…) and
abrasive sponges for dishes or acids (such as
limescale-remover, etc…) as these could damage the
enamel. If the grease spots and dirt are particularly
tough to remove, use a special product for oven clean-
ing, following the instructions provided on the packet.
• if you use your oven for an extended period of time,
condensation may form. Dry it using a soft cloth.
• there is a rubber seal surrounding the oven opening
which guarantees its perfect functioning. Check the
condition of this seal on a regular basis.If necessary,
clean it and avoid using abrasive products or objects
to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact
your nearest After-sales Service Centre. We recom-
mend you avoid using the oven until it has been re-
paired.
• never line the oven bottom with aluminium foil, as the
consequent accumulation of heat could compromise
the cooking and even damage the enamel.
• clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or
sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.
How to remove the oven door
For a more thorough clean, you can remove the oven
door.Proceed as follows:
• open the door fully;
• lift up and turn the small levers situated on the two
hinges;
• grip the door on the two external sides, shut it slowly
but not completely;
• pull the door towards you, pulling it out of its seat;
Reassemble the door by following the above procedures
backwards.
Replacing the Oven Lamp
• Disconnect the oven from the power supply by means
of the omnipolar switch used to connect the appliance
to the electrical mains; or unplug the appliance if the
plug is accessible;
• Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
• Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following charac-
teristics:
- Voltage:230/240 V
- Wattage 25W
- Type E14
• Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to
the mains power supply.

Practical Cooking Advice
When cooking in the oven, use only one dripping pan or
rack at a time.Select from among the top or bottom rack
heights based on whether the dish needs more or less
heat from the top.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally the case
when cooking leavened foods), we recommend you use
the “convection mode”to reach the desired temperature
as quickly as possible.When preheating is over, which is
indicated by the red light“E” going out, select the
required cooking mode.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settings from 180 °C to 200 °C.
For redmeat that should bewelldoneon the outsidewhile
tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with
ahigh temperaturesetting(200°C-220°C) fora short time,
then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting.Place the meat on the centre of the grid and place
the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Makesurethatthegridisinserted so that itis in thecentre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savoury
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven and do not
open the oven door during baking to prevent the cake
from dropping.In general:
Using the Grill
Use the d“grill”mode, placing the food under the cen-
tre of the grill (situated on the 3rd or 4th rack form the
bottom) because only the central part of the top heating
element is turned on.
Use the bottom rack (1st from the bottom), placing the
dripping pan provided to collect any sauce and/or grease
and prevent the same from dripping onto the oven bot-
tom.
The variabletemperature control (C)ispositioned to right
of the oven knob. This knob will provide varying grill
temperatures when rotated from“max” to “min”and may
beadjusted to vary the level of heatat any time during the
grilling operation.
To operate the grill
1. Turn the oven control knob (B) clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the
control panel.The element is now “on”.
2. The variable grill control (C) can now be operated to
select the required heat.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes
are obtained by placing the grid on the lower racks
(see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease
from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke
from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven
rack from the bottom.
Grilling must be done with the door partially open.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
