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 230V ∼ :use an H05RR-F
/ H05RN-F type three-core cable (3 x 1.5
mm2).

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.
Never use the oven door to lever the oven into
place when fitting.
Avoid exerting too much pressure on the oven door
when open.

4. USE OF THE OVEN
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
The oven light comes on:
When the oven door is opened, or by turning the functions knob to any
symbol.

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.
6.2 Fan 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.
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.
6.4 Fan grilling
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.

6.5 Delicate cooking
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
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.
