2. INSTALLATION OF THE OVEN
The oven must be set up on a perfectly flat surface and left standing
free. Make sure to allow enough room at the back for easy access to the
terminal strip for connection of the power cable to mains.
Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance
with applicable regulations in force.
2.1 Electrical connection
Make sure that the power line voltage matches the specifications
indicated on the rating plate located to the rear of the oven. This rating
plate must never be removed.
The connection terminals are
located at the rear of the
appliance. For electrical
connections see following
diagram. For access to the
terminal board, remove the
door located at the back of
the oven.
For operation on 380-415V3N ∼ :use an
H07RN-F-type five-core cable (5 x 1.5 mm2).
For operation on 220-240V ∼ :use an
H07RN-F-type three-core cable (3 x 4 mm2).
The cable end to be connected to the
appliance must be provided with an ground
wire (yellow-green) at least 20 mm longer.

Instructions for the installer
If connecting by plug and socket, make sure to use a 25 Amp. three-core
plug or a 16 Amp. five-core plug in case of operation at 380-415V3N∼.
Make sure that plug and wall socket are of the same type and are in
conformity with regulations in force. Also check that the power supply
line is provided with adequate earthing. Avoid using adapters or
shunters.
In case of permanent connection, ensure that power cable is equipped
with an easily accessible omnipolar switch fitted in proximity to the
apparatus and with a gap between contacts equal to or greater than
3 mm.

3. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS
All oven knobs and controls are
located on the side panels.
TIMER KNOB
This permits to select manual or timer-controlled cooking with
automatic turning off of the oven at end of the cooking cycle.
To set to manual, turn the knob anticlockwise to .
To set cooking time, turn the knob clockwise. Time is
expressed in minutes (5to 60). Adjustment is progressive so
that time can also be set to any intermediate value. Upon
completion of the cooking cycle, the knob automatically
returns to 0, the oven turns off and a buzzer signal is set off,
which switches off automatically after 20 seconds.
THERMOSTAT KNOB
This permits selection of the ideal cooking temperature.
Rotate clockwise to the desired temperature (50° to 250°C).
Adjustment is progressive so that the oven also operates at
any intermediate value.
GREEN LIGHT
When off, indicates that timed cooking is in progress. When
on, indicates that the timed cooking cycle has been
completed.
ORANGE LIGHT
When on, indicates that oven is heating up. When the set
temperature is reached, the light goes off. During the cooking
cycle, the light comes on and goes off various times signalling
that the temperature in the oven is being kept constant as per
the set value.

4. USE OF THE OVEN
4.1 Warnings and general advice
When using for the first time, it is advisable to
heat up the oven to its maximum temperature
(250°C) for enough time to burn off any
possible oily manufacturing residues.
It should be borne in mind that when the oven
door is opened, the heating elements and the
fan are automatically switched off. This means
that, if the food being cooked needs to be
checked, it is best to leave the door open for as
short a time as possible in order to avoid the
temperature inside the oven from dropping too
much and thus compromising cooking results.
4.2 Oven lights
The lights inside the oven come on automatically upon turning the
thermostat knob.
4.3 Defrosting
TIMER KNOB
SET TO MANUAL
THERMOSTAT KNOB
SET TO VENTILATION
Moving air at ambient temperature causes frozen food to quickly thaw.
This type of thawing is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de-
frozen food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the domestic
freezer, remain unaltered.
4.4 Pre-heating
Before cooking, it is advisable to pre-heat the oven to the desired
temperature for at least 15 minutes.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important:
never spray water directly on to the oven. Never use pressure nozzles.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the oven.
5.1 Cleaning stainless steel parts
To maintain stainless steel parts in perfect condition, clean regularly at
the end of the work day. Allow to cool first.
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.
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.
