Safety thermostat
In order to avoid excessive overheating due
to incorrect use of the appliance or else to a
faulty component, the oven is equipped with
a safety thermostat which cuts off the power
supply if necessary. Operation is restored
automatically when the oven temperature
decreases to normal values. Therefore, if the
thermostat cuts in because you have not
been using the appliance correctly, the oven
can be used again simply by waiting for the
appliance to cool down. If, instead, the
thermostat cuts in because of a faulty
component, you should call the Service
Department.

Hints and tips for using the oven
Always cook with the oven door
closed.
The oven is supplied with an exclusive
system which produces a natural
circulation of air and the constant
recycling of steam. This system makes
it possible to cook in a steamy
environment and keep the dishes soft
inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the
cooking time and energy consumption are
reduced to a minimum. During cooking
steam may be produced which can be
released when opening the oven door.
This is absolutely normal.
However, always stand back from the
oven when opening the oven door
during cooking or at the end of it to
allow any build up of steam or heat
to release.
Conventional cooking
Heat comes from the top and from the
bottom, therefore it is preferable to use the
central runners. If cooking requires more
heat from the top or from the bottom use
the top or the bottom runners.
Fan cooking
The food is cooked by means of preheated
air force blown evenly round the inside of
the oven by a fan set on the rear wall of the
oven itself. Heat thus reaches all parts of
the oven evenly and fast and this means that
you can simultaneously cook different types
of foods positioned on the various oven
shelves (Fig. 5). Fan cooking ensures rapid
elimination of moisture and the dryer oven
environment stops the different aromas and
flavours from being transmitted from one food
to another.
The possibility of cooking on several shelf
heights means that you can cook several
different dishes at the same time and up to
three tins of biscuits and mini pizzas to be
eaten immediately or subsequently deep
frozen. Naturally the oven can also be used
for cooking on just one shelf. In this case
you should use the lowest set of runners so
that you can keep an eye on progress more
easily. In addition, the oven is particularly
recommended for sterilizing preserves,
cooking home-made fruit in syrup, and for
drying mushrooms or fruit.
Grilling
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil
onthem and always place them on the oven
grid. The shelf level depends on the
thinckness of the food. Always place the
dripping pan at the lowest level, with some
water in it, to avoid smoke and unpleasant
smells.
Some hints
For baking cakes
Cakes require a moderate temperature
(normally between 150 and 200°C). In
addition, the oven must be heated up
beforehand - for about 10 minutes. The oven
door should not be opened before at least
3/4 of the set cooking time is up. Normal
short pastry dough should be cooked in a
mould or tin for 2/3 of total cooking time
required and then garnished as desired
before being cooked completely. Clearly, the
remaining cooking time depends on the type
of garnish used (jam, fruit, etc.). Care should
be taken to ensure that any dough and cake
mixes are of the right consistency since an
unduly moist mix lengthens cooking time
unnecessarily.

24
The raw dough or mix should therefore be
fairly difficult to detach from the spoon or
beater.
If three shelves are filled with cakes and tarts
simultaneously, it is advisable to slot in an
extra shelf between the two lower shelves
(Fig. 5).
For cooking meat and fish
Meat cooked in the oven should weigh at
least 1 kg to prevent it from becoming too
dry during cooking. Very tender red meat to
be cooked rare, i.e. well cooked on the
outside but extremely juicy inside, requires
high-temperature cooking (200-220 °C).
White meat, poultry and fish instead require
low-temperature cooking (150-175 °C).
The ingredients for the accompanying sauce
or gravy should be put in the baking pan at
the very beginning only when cooking times
are short.
Otherwise they should be added during the
last half hour. A simple way of checking
whether meat is done or not is to press it
with a spoon; if the meat does not yield under
this pressure it means that it is done to a
turn. In the case of roast beef and fillet
steaks, the inside of which should remain
fairly pink in color, cooking times must be
short.
The meat can be cooked in a baking pan or
else directly on the shelf - in this case a
dripping pan must obviously be placed
underneath the shelf to collect the juice.
Should you cook very fat food, place the
meat directly on the grill and the grill over
the dripping pan in order not to dirty the oven.
Once the meat is cooked, it is advisable to
let it rest for at least 15 minutes before
carving so that the juice does not seep out.
To prevent the formation of too much smoke
in the oven during roasting, it is a good idea
to pour a little water into the dripping pan
and—to prevent steam—to add a little bit
more during cooking if the original amount
dries up too much.
Before serving, the various courses can be
kept hot in the oven which should be turned
down to the minimum temperature.
Warning! - Do not place objects on
the bottom of the oven and do not
cover it with aluminium foil while
cooking, as you can damage the
enamelled surfaces and the food you
are cooking.
Always place pans, heat-resisting
pans and aluminium foils on the oven
shelves.
Warning! -Becarefulwhenyouinsert
and extract the grid and the dripping
pan from the oven in order not to
damage the enamelled surfaces of
the oven cavity.
Cooking times
Cooking times vary according to the type of
food to be cooked, its consistency, and
volume.We suggest that you take particular
note of your first cooking experiments with
the oven, since operating in the same
conditions for the same dishes you will of
course obtain similar results.
Only experience will enable you to make
the appropriate changes to values given on
charts.

Before any cleaning switch the
oven off and let it cool down.
Never use steam or steam
machines to clean the appliance.
Important! Before carrying out
maintenance and cleaning
operations, make sure that your
oven is disconnected from the
mains power supply.
Cleaning must be carried out after the oven
has cooled down. Wash the enamelled parts
with lukewarm water and detergent. Do not
use abrasive products, such as steel wool
pads, acids etc. since these could damage
the various surfaces. Rinse stainless steel
parts with water after use, and dry them with
a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Cleaning and Maintenance
In the case of persistent stains, you can
use normal non-abrasive detergents or
products specific for stainless steel readily
available on the market.Another alternative
is a drop of hot vinegar. When cleaning the
oven door with the glass top cover use just
hot water, taking care to avoid using coarse
cloths or abrasive products.
The hot acids of fruit (e.g. Iemons, stewed
prunes, etc.) leave difficult-to-remove stains
on the enamelled surfaces; this inconvenient
may remove enamel gloss, but, it does not
impair oven operation.
Clean the oven thoroughly after use; in this
way it will be possible to remove cooking
residuals more easily, thus avoiding these
from burning the next time the oven is used.

Instructions for the installer
The instructions given below are
designed specifically for a qualified
installer and should aid him or her to
perform all installation, adjustment,
and maintenance operations with
absolute precision and in compliance
with all current legislation and
regulations. We strongly recommend
that all operations for the installation
of your cooker be carryed out by
Qualified Personnel in accordance
with existing rules and regulations.
Electrical connection
Prior to making the electrical connection,
make sure that:
— the protection fuse and the domestic
wiring system are suitable to carry the
total electric load of the oven (see rating
plate);
— your domestic wiring system has an
efficient earth connection in compliance
with rules and laws in force;
— the wall socket or the omnipole switch
used for the electrical connection can
easily be reached after the oven is built
in.
This appliance is delivered without an
electric supply cable, therefore, you will have
to fit to it a supply cable with standard plug,
suitable for the total electric load shown on
the rating plate. The plug is to be inserted
into a suitable wall socket. If you require a
direct connection to the electric network
(mains), it will be necessary to fit between
the appliance and the mains an omnipole
switch, with a minimum gap between
contacts of 3 mm, suitable for the required
load and in compliance with rules in force.
The green & yellow ground wire must not be
interrupted by the switch and it should be 2-
3 cm. longer than the other cables. The
supply cable must in all cases be laid out in
such a way as to ensure that it does not
reach at any given point a temperature 50°C
higher than the ambient temperature.
Suitable power supply cables are the
following types, considering the respective
necessary section of cable: H07 RN-F, H05
RN-F, H05 RR-F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F
(T90), H05 BB-F.
Terminal block
The oven has an easily accessible terminal
block, which is meant to work with an
electric single-phase rate of 230 V (Fig. 8).
The Manufacturer disclaims any liability
in case these accident-preventing rules
are not observed.
Fig. 8

31
To ensure correct operation of the built-in
assembly, the kitchen cabinet and the
recess for the built-in appliance must have
suitable dimensions.
When the appliance is fitted-in, there must
be no open spaces left and it must be
closed on all sides by the kitchen furniture
to prevent the possibility of inadvertently
touching “live” (current carrying) parts of the
oven. All parts ensuring such a protection,
including any covering panel (for instance,
if the appliance is installed at the end or at
the beginning of a kitchen counter) must be
fastened in such a way as to prevent removal
of the same without the aid of some tool.
The appliance can be placed with its back
and with one side close to appliances or
walls of higher height. The other side,
instead, must be placed close to furniture
or appliances, having the same height.
