not use the appliance and contact your supplier or a qualified engineer.
■Remove all the packing materials (i.e. plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.) and do
not leave it around within easy reach of children, as these may cause serious
injuries. The packaging materials are recyclable.
■Do not attempt to modify the technical characteristics of the appliance, as it may
become dangerous to use.
■The appliance should be installed and all the electrical connections made by a
qualified engineer in compliance with local regulations in force and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & RECOMMENDATIONS
■Do not carry out any cleaning or maintenance without first disconnecting the
appliance from the electrical supply.
■During and after use of the double oven, certain parts will become very hot. Do
not touch hot parts.
■After use always ensure that the control knobs are in the OFF position.
■Keep children away from the double oven during use.
■Do not allow young children or infirm persons to use the appliance without your
supervision.
■WARNING
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the

injury.
■Fire Risk! Do not store inflammable materials inside the ovens.
■Always use oven gloves when removing the shelves and food trays from the oven
whilst hot.
■Clean the ovens regularly and do not allow fat or oils to build up in the oven base
or trays. Remove spillages as soon as they occur.
■Always stand back from the oven when opening the oven door to allow steam
and hot air to escape before removing the food.
■Do not hang towels, dishcloths or other items on the cooker or its handle – as this
could be a fire hazard.
■Make sure that electrical cords connecting other appliances in the proximity can-
not become entrapped in the oven doors.

NB: Your appliance has been fitted with a cooling fan to achieve optimum efficiency of
the controls and to ensure lower surface temperatures are maintained.
When the top oven is operating the cooling fan motor is always ON.
When only the bottom main oven is operating the cooling fan motor switches ON/OFF
depending on temperature.
Depending on cooking temperatures and times, the cooling fan may run on even after
appliance oven has been switched off. The duration of this time is dependent on previ-
ous cooking temperature and duration.

2 - HOW TO USE THE CONVENTIONAL OVEN (top oven)
GENERAL FEATURES
The convection oven is equipped with 3
electrical heating elements:
– 2 elements (upper and lower) for nor-
mal oven cooking
– 1 grill element, on the top of the oven,
for grilling which must be done with the
oven door closed.
The input of the elements is:
– Upper element, 700 W
– Lower element, 1000 W
– Grill element, 2000 W
NOTE:
Upon first use, it is advisable to operate
the oven at the maximum temperature
(thermostat knob on position 250) for 60
minutes in the position and for
another 15 minutes in the mode in
order to eliminate any traces of grease
from the electrical resistances.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating elements inside the oven
cavity.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the CONVEN-
TIONAL oven are obtained in the follow-
ing ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red
grill element (use with the oven door
closed.).

TEMPERATURE KNOB (fig. 2.1)
To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set the function selector knob to the
required position and the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
To set the temperature, turn the control knob to line the indicator mark with the required
temperature.
The elements will turn on or off automatically to maintain the correct temperature.
Fig. 2.1 Fig. 2.2
FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 2.2)
Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions.
TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING
The upper and lower heating elements are switched on. The heat is diffused by natural
convection and the temperature must be regulated between 50°C and 250°C with the
thermostat knob.
It is necessary to preheat the oven before introducing the foods to be cooked.
Recommended for:
For foods which require the same cooking temperature both internally and externally, i.
e. roasts, spare ribs, meringue, etc.
OVEN LIGHT
The oven is equipped with a light that illuminates the oven to enable visually controlling
the food that is cooking.
This light is controlled by the selector knob (fig. 2.2); it remains on in all the cooking
modes.

9
USE OF THE GRILL
Leave to warm up for approximately 5
minutes with the door closed.
Place the food inside positioning the
rack as near as possible to the grill.
Insert the drip pan under the rack to col-
lect the cooking juices.
Always grill with the oven door
closed.
Grill with the oven door closed and for
no longer than 30 minutes at any one
time.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
OVEN COOKING
Before introducing the food, preheat the
oven to the desired temperature.
For a correct preheating operation, it is
advisable to remove the tray from the
oven and introduce it together with the
food, when the oven has reached the
desired temperature.
Check the cooking time and turn off the
oven 5 minutes before the theoretical
time to complete the cooking by using
only the stored heat.
GRILLING
The infra-red heating element is switched on. The heat is diffused by radiation.
Use with the oven door closed and the temperature knob set between 50°C and 200°C.
For correct use see chapter “USE OF THE GRILL”.
Recommended for:
Intense grilling action for cooking with the broiler; browning, crisping, “au gratin”, toast-
ing, etc.
LOWER HEATING ELEMENT
In this position only the lower element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural con-
vection. The thermostat can be set between 50°C and 250°C; higher temperatures are
not available.
Recommended for:
This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher tem-
perature at the bottom.
UPPER HEATING ELEMENT
In this position only the upper element is switched on. Heat is distributed by natural
convection. The thermostat can be set between 50°C and 250°C; higher temperatures
are not available.
Recommended for:
This mode is particularly suitable to complete cooking of dishes that require higher tem-
perature at the top.

3 - HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN (bottom main oven)
GENERAL FEATURES
The multi-function oven can be pro-
grammed for 7 different functions to
satisfy every cooking need.
The 7 positions are thermostatically
controlled and are obtained by a combi-
nation of 4 heating elements which are:
- Lower element 1000 W
- Upper element 900 W
- Grill element 2000 W
- Circular element 1900 W
NOTE:
Before using for the first time, it is
advisable to operate the oven at the
maximum temperature (temperature
knob on position 250°C) for 60 minutes
in the position and to eliminate
possible traces of grease on the heating
elements.
Repeat the operation for another 15
minutes with the grill element on as
explained in the GRILLING and USE OF
THE GRILL section.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT
Pay special attention not to touch the
hot heating elements inside the oven
cavity.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the MULTI-
FUNCTION oven are obtained in the fol-
lowing ways:
a. by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper
and lower heating elements.
b. by forced convection
The circular heating element and fan
constantly circulate heated air over
the food in the oven for a more rapid
and even cooking process.
It is possible to cook several dishes
simultaneously.
c. by semi-forced convection
The heat produced by the upper and
lower heating elements is distributed
throughout the oven by the fan.
d. by radiation
The heat is produced by the infra red
grill element.
e. by radiation and ventilation
The heat from the infra red grill ele-
ment is distributed throughout the
oven by the fan.
f. by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the
fan only function without heat.
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
