It is obligatory for the electrical system to be grounded according to the
methods required by safety rules.
If a plug and socket connection is being used make sure that the plug
and socket are compatible. Avoid use of adapters and shunts as these
could cause overheating and risk of burns.
If a fixed connection is being used fit power line with an omnipolar circuit
breaker with a contact opening gap equal to or greater than 3 mm in an
easily accessible position in proximity to the oven.
For operation on 230-240V
∼
:use an
H05RR-F / H05V2V2-F type three-core

4. USE OF THE OVEN
Make sure that you have either turned the minute minder knob to the
symbol or set a cooking time. If the timer knob is on 0, no heating
elements will come on.
4.1 Warnings and general advice
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily
residues which could give the food a bad taste.
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or
tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the
enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it
will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.
To prevent any steam in the oven creating
problems, open the door in two stages: half open
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully
open. To access food, always leave the door
open as short a time as possible to prevent the
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining
the food.
4.2 Cooling system
The oven is equipped with a cooling system
which automatically comes on upon the oven
being turned on.
Fans cause a steady outflow of air from above
the door which may continue for a brief period of
time even after the oven has been turned off.
4.3 Oven light
To turn on the oven light in models with static oven, rotate the
temperature knob clockwise to the first setting aligned with the lamp
symbol ( ). The light will remain on throughout entire oven operation.

Instructions for the user
6. COOKING HINTS
In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and
reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking
6.1 Traditional cooking (multifunction models)
FUNCTION SWITCH
50 ÷250°C
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-
heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.
6.2 Hot-air cooking (multifunction models)
FUNCTION SWITCH
50 ÷250°C
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different
types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air
circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat.
37

Instructions for the user
38
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.
6.3 Grill cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
225
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
.
Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the
highest guide. For short-term cooking of small quantities, place the grid
in the fourth guide from the bottom. For long-term cooking and grills, put
the grid in the lowest guide in accordance with the size of the pieces.
6.4 Hot-air grilling (multifunction models)
FUNCTION SWITCH
200
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
Ensures uniform heat distribution with greater heat penetration into the
food. Food will be lightly browned on the outside and remain soft inside.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must
not exceed 60 minutes.

Instructions for the user
6.5 Defrosting (multifunction models)
FUNCTION SWITCH
0
THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION
The flow of air produced by the fan ensures quicker defrosting.
The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.
The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter
the taste and appearance of the food.
39

Instructions for the user

6.6 Spit roasting (models with static oven)
FUNCTION SWITCH
200
THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION
Prepare the spit with the food, blocking fork screws A. Insert frame B
into the third guide from the bottom. Remove handle Dand position the
spit shaft so that pulley Eis guided on the link of frame B in the right
side. Insert the drip tray into the oven as far as it will go until the tip of
the rod is in line with the hole C. Now rock the frames B to insert the tip
of the rod into the drive connection Cof the rotisserie motor on the side
of the oven. Pour a bit of water into the pan to avoid smoke from the
dripping.
It is normal for the thermostat light to flash during cooking. This indicates
the temperature inside the oven is regular.
CAUTION: the frames B must be fitted
as shown in the diagram

Instructions for the user
6.7 Recommended cooking table

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never use a steam jet to clean the appliance.
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered
parts, switch off the power supply to the machine.
7.1 Cleaning stainless steel
To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly
after use. Let it cool first.
7.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only
specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface,
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
7.1.2 Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will
damage the surface.
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or
plastic tool if necessary.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set
inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage
the enamel lining of the oven.

detergent. Rinse and dry.
•The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about
15/20 minutes after using specific products, to eliminate the residues
deposited inside the oven.
•For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see P. 8.2)
7.3 Door glass
The door glass should always be kept clean. Use absorbent kitchen
paper to clean. In case of tough spots, clean with a damp sponge using
regular detergent.
