4. USE OF THE OVEN
3 operations are required to switch the oven on:
1st: make sure that the timer is turned to “ ”;
2nd: turn the thermostat;
3rd: turn the function selector to any function (the “lamp” setting does not
switch on any heating elements).
In models equipped with analogue digital timer, the user has only to
press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first
use or after a power blackout.
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 features cooling fan which switch on
together with the oven.
Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which
exits at the bottom part of the oven front which
may continue for a brief period of time even after
the oven has been turned off.
4.3 Oven light
On all models, it is switched on by turning the thermostat knob and the
function selector knob to any function. On some models it also switches
on when the oven door is opened.

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
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷250°C
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.
16

Instructions for the user
6.2 Hot-air cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷250°C
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. Pre-heating
is not necessary.
Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the
different foods is the same.
6.3 Grill cooking
FUNCTION SWITCH
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.
Keep the oven door closed during cooking.
17

Instructions for the user
6.4 Hot-air grilling
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH 220
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.
6.5 Defrosting
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH IN POSITION
0
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.

Instructions for the user
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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.
7.2 Cleaning of the oven (without self-cleaning panels)
For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take
out all removable parts.
19

Instructions for the user
• DO NOT USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE INSIDE OF
THE OVEN.
• Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive
detergent. Rinse and dry.
• Clean the internal walls of the oven with a soft ammoniac-soaked
cloth. Rinse and dry. If there are still stains or drops, place a damp
ammoniac-soaked cloth on the bottom of the oven, close the door
and after a few hours wash the oven with hot water and liquid
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)
7.2.1 Self-cleaning liners
The oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners.
These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over
time.
7.2.2 Using the self-cleaning liners
Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from
accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at
temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60
minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues
present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a
damp sponge
7.2.3 Looking after the self-cleaning liners
The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary
detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special
characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.
7.2.4 Assembling the self-cleaning liners
1. Remove all accessories from the oven;
2. Remove the side grilles (fig.1);
3. Extract the side liners “F” and “G”(fig. 2);
4. Remove the back panel “A” after undoing the threaded ring-nut “C”
(fig. 2).
5. Reassemble the panels, restoring them to their original position.

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.
8. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The oven may require extraordinary maintenance or replacement of parts
subject to wear such as seals, bulbs, and so on. The following
instructions describe how to carry out these minor maintenance
operations.
Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply of the device.
8.1 Replacement of light bulb
Remove the bulb protector A by turning anticlockwise and change bulb B
(in the 8-function model with front glass panel change the halogen bulb
C) with a similar one. Re-fit the bulb protector A.
Only use oven bulbs (T 300°C).

Instructions for the user
8.2 Removing
Raise levers on each hinge Ato lock the hinges before attempting to
remove the door. Hold the door on both sides with both hands near hinges
B. Lift up the door forming an angle of about 45° and remove. To refit, slide
the hinges Ainto slots in oven frame. Locate the grooves (C) over frame of
oven in hinge cut out, lower the door and release the locking levers (B).
8.3 Oven door seal
To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the seal
may be removed. Before removing the seal, take off
the door as described above. Once the door has
been taken off, lift the tabs at the corners as shown
in the figure.
After cleaning, refit the seal with the longer side
horizontal and insert the tabs into the appropriate
holes starting from the top ones.
