3.1 Instructions
High temperature inside the oven
during use
Danger of burns
• Keep the oven door closed during
cooking.
• Protect your hands wearing heat
resistant gloves when moving food
inside the oven.
• Do not touch the heating elements inside
the oven.
• Do not pour water directly onto very hot
trays.
• Do not allow children to get near the
oven when it is in operation.
• If you need to move food or at the end
of cooking, open the door 5 cm for a
few seconds, let the steam come out,
then open it fully.
High temperature inside the oven
during use
Danger of fire or explosion
• Do not spray any spray products near
the oven.
• Do not use or leave flammable materials
near the oven.
• Do not use plastic kitchenware or
containers when cooking food.
• Do not put sealed tins or containers in

3.2 First use
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the cooking
compartment.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (if fitted) (see 4 Cleaning
and maintenance).
4. Heat the empty oven at the maximum
temperature to burn off any residues left
by the manufacturing process.
3.3 Using the oven
Switching the oven on
To switch the oven on:
1. Select the cooking temperature and
function using the temperature knob.
2. Select the cooking time or set manual
cooking using the timer knob.
3.4 Cooking modes
The oven is designed for a
maximum load of 12 kg.
Defrosting
The movement of air at room
temperature causes frozen food to
defrost quickly. This type of rapid
defrosting is ideal as the taste and
appearance of the de-frozen food,
whether previously deep-frozen or
frozen in the freezer, remain
unaltered.
Normal cooking
Using the fan and the circular
heating elements (incorporated in
the rear of the oven) allows you to
cook different foods on several
levels. Hot air circulation ensures
instant and uniform distribution of
heat.
