2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Electrical connection
Check that the mains voltage and power cable ratings are as per the
information provided on the label attached to the oven door frame.
This label must never be removed.
It is obligatory for the electrical system to be earthed 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 cable 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 220-240V ∼ :use an
H05RR-F / H05RN-F type three-core cable
(3 x 1.5 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

2.2 Installing the oven
The oven is designed for installation into any piece of furniture as long as
it is heat-resistant. Proceed according to the dimensions shown in Figures
1, 2and 3. For installing under a work top, follow the dimensions given in
Figure 3. For installing under a work top beneath a hob with controls
connected to the oven, ensure a minimum clearance from any side walls
of at least 110 mm as shown in Figure 1.
For installing in a column, follow the dimensions given in Figure 2allowing for a
clearance of 80 to 90 mm at the top and sides of the column. Tighten the four
screws (ref.A) inside the frame to secure (Fig. 1).
For installing beneath a separate hob, allow for a rear and bottom
clearance as shown in Figure 1(ref. B). See relevant instructions for fitting
and securing the hob.

Instructions for the user
4. USE OF THE OVEN
Before using the oven make sure that the electronic programmer displays
the symbol (see "3.2.1 Clock adjustment").
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.
In the models featuring an electronic programmer, a power failure causes
the display to start flashing at regular intervals and the symbol to
appear. To re-adjust, see "3.2 Electronic programmer ".
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 (certain models only)
The appliance is equipped with 2 cooling fans
which come into operation when the oven is
switched 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 cooking operation.
In the multifunction models, the inside oven light may be turned on by
simultaneously rotating the function selector knob and the timer knob.
When the oven is not working, the light comes on by simply opening the
door.

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
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.
6.2 Fan cooking (multifunction models)
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.
43

Instructions for the user
44
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 position. When cooking small items for a short time the pan
should be in the highest position. For larger items requiring longer
cooking times, the pan should be lowered to avoid food being burned on
top before being throughly cooked.
Grill function must be used only with the door closed.
Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door
open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of
operation.
6.4 Fan grilling (multifunction models)
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
200
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.
Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door
open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of
operation.

Instructions for the user
6.5 Delicate cooking (in some models only)
FUNCTION SWITCH
THERMOSTAT SWITCH
50 ÷250°C
Ideal for pastries and cakes with a liquid surface and little sugar and
moist desserts in moulds. Excellent results can also be achieved in
completing cooking at the base and with dishes requiring heat in the
lower area in particular. The pan is best inserted in the lowest position.
6.6 Defrosting (multifunction models)
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.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
NEVER USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.
Before carrying out any maintenance, 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 leather.
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 leather.
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.
