is the yellow-green conductor.
Two types of connection are provided:
Connection n° 1
Connecting the power supply cable to the mains.
Fit a normalized plug to the cable, which corresponds to
the load indicated on the data plate; if the cooker is
connected directly to the mains, an omnipolar circuit-
breaker with a minimum opening of 3 mm between the
contacts, suitable for the load indicated and complying
with current directives, must be installed between the
appliance and the mains (the earthing wire must not be
interrupted bythe circuit-breaker).Thepower supply cable
must be positioned so that it does not exceed room tem-
perature by 50°C at any point of its length.Before making
the connection check that:
lthe limiter valve and the home system can support
appliance load (see data plate);
lthe power supply system has an efficient earthing
connection which complies with the provisions of
current regulations and the law;
lthere is easy access to the socket or the omnipolar
circuit-breaker once the cooker has been installed.
N.B.: do not use reducers, adapters or shunts as these
could cause heating or burning.

Using the oven and grill
Thedifferentoperationsoftheoven howtheymaybe used:
1.Using the oven
2.Grilling
The oven control knob (E)
This knob is used to select the different operations of the
oven, ie. selecting the correct cooking temperatures for
the food to be cooked and control of the grill.
1. Using the oven
When the oven control knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol the fan and oven light will
comeon to assist in the defrosting offrozenfood.Rotating
further to the complete range of temperatures shown on
the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the
food you are going to cook.The temperature is reached
automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat.
Note:Whilstusing tagoven forconventionalcooking knob
(F)must be set with“MAX”in line withthe referencemark
on the control panel.
2. Use of the grill
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected
byturningtheovencontrolknob(E)ina clockwisedirection
to align the symbols ( for the centre, for the comple-
te area) with the mark on the control panel.The variable
temperature control (F) is positioned to right of the oven
knob. This knob will provide varying grill temperatures
when rotated from “max” to“min” and may be adjusted to
vary the level of heat at any time during the grilling
operation.
To operate the grill
1. Turn the oven control knob (E) 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 (F) can now be operated to
select the required heat.
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels
(see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent
smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.
Grilling should normally becarried outwith the doorclosed
to obtain the best results and save energy (about 10%).
When this recommendation is not possible, a special
deflector is supplied, and this must be placed in position
to protect the controls from excessive heat. Below the
control panel at the door closure point, are two retaining
lugs for the deflector, the deflector should be placed in
position before grilling commences.
Caution:
1. When grilling using the heat deflector, the oven door
must remain fully open throughout the whole period of
grilling.
2. Thedeflector willbecome extremelyhot during grilling.
Allow time to cool in position before attempting to
remove.
Important: turn on the oven and grill for about 30 minutes
before usingthem forthe firsttime with theovendoor open
and air the room.The smell you may notice is due to the
evaporation of substances used to protect the oven and
grill between the time of production and installation of the
cooker.
Oven light
Turn the knob clockwise one‘click’and the oven lamp will
light up without heat.It illuminates the oven and remains
on whenever any electric oven heating element is used.
The red pilot lamp (H)
This lamp will glow when the oven is first switched “on”, it
willextinguishonce the correctoventemperature has been
reached.

Inner glass oven door (I)
Theoven is providedof aninnerglassthat can beremoved
unscrewing the two screws (L) that fix it to the door.This
glass must be replaced after cleaning and always be
in position when cooking.
Coolingfan
Afanhas beenincorporated to blow coolair through vents
in the front of the oven during cooking. If the oven is
operated for a long period, the air blowing through the
vents may become warm.
Oven door
Youcan buyaspecial kit toreduce door temperaturewhen
the oven is on and save energy. If there are little children
in the house, this kit is a must. The kit code number is
039888 or 039104 (for traditional models with plate-metal
door) and it may be purchased for installation from an
authorised dealeroraTechnicalAssistanceServicecentre
indicatedinthe list includedwiththe appliance documents.
Oven handle
Important: the cooking steam leaves the oven from the
slots at the extreme right of the handle.Do not touchthis
part of the handle.For ovens with tubular handles, there
isa special protective devicewhich isfitted during cooking
to keep steam away from the front of the cooker.

Important
Do not place casseroles on the bottom tray of the oven.
These not only prevent uniform baking but the heating
element under the bottom tray will burn the food
underneath.In addition the casseroles preventpropoer air
circulation in ventilated ovens.Moreover, this bottom tray
is convex to ensure major resistance to deformations and
is therefore not a level surface.
Electronic Cooking Programmer
The programmer makes it possible to preset the oven and
the grill in terms of:
• delay start with a preset length of time for cooking;
• immediate start with a preset length of time for cooking;
• timer.
