simoultaneously using any shelf, without flavour transference.
Bottom heating element - The heat comes from the bottom of
the oven only.
Grill element only - can be used for grilling.
onventional cooking - The heat comes from both the top and
bottom element, ensuring even heating inside the oven.

Thermostat Control Light (°C)
The thermostat control light will come on when the thermostat control knob
is turned. The light will remain on until the correct temperature is reached.
It will then cycle on and off to show the temperature is being maintained.
Mains on Light
The mains on light will come on when the oven function control knob is
set.
End of Cooking programmer
The end of cooking programmer allows the oven to switch off
automatically (it cannot be used as a timer only). The cooking duration
can be set up to 90 minutes maximum. Turn the knob to 90, then turn it
back to the required cooking time. At the end of the chosen cooking
time the timer clock automatically switches off the oven. At the same
time an acoustic signal is emitted which stops automatically.
Note: for manual operation the switch should be turned to the
symbol showing a hand .
The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of malfunctioning
of the main thermostat, and consequent over-heating, the safety device
will stop the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call your
local Service Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt
to repair the appliance yourself.
The cooling fan
The cooling fan is designed to cool the walls of the oven and the
components of the oven itself.
The fan switches on automatically after a few minutes of cooking. Warm
air is blown out through the aperture near the oven door handle. When
the oven is switched off, the fan will remain on in order to cool the oven
and kitchen cabinets properly, after which it switches off automatically.
NOTE: The fan may run up to 45 minutes after cooking has been
completed. Leaving the door ajar will lessen the cooling time.

Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door to allow
any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and is
not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discolouration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.
Cookware
 Use any oven proof cookware which will withstand
temperatures of 250°C.
 Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be placed
directly against the grid covering the fan at the back
of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
 Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation of
heat and may affect performance.
Hints and Tips
Attention!
Do not place pans, dripping pans, biscuit pans or aluminium
foil on the oven bottom. This could cause a heat build-up
which would affect the baking results and damage the oven
enamel.
The effects of dishes on cooking
results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat to
the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and bright
shiny utensils reduce cooking and underneath
browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, aluminium
with non-stick interior and coloured exterior and
dark, heavy utensils increase cooking and underneath
browning.
NO
YES
Before the First Use
Remove all packaging, both inside and outside
the appliance, before using it.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Switch the oven function control knob to fan cooking
.
2. Set the thermostat control knob to MAX.
3. pen a window for ventilation.
4. Allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45
minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.

To open the oven door, always catch the
handle in its central part (Fig. 5).
Using the Oven
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Stand clear when opening the drop down oven
door. Do not allow it to fall open - support the
door using the door handle, until it is fully open.
The oven has four shelf levels. The shelf
positions are counted from the bottom of the oven
as shown in the diagram.
It is important that the oven shelves are correctly
positioned as shown in the diagram.
Do not place cookware directly on the oven
base.

Using the oven
Conventional cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
If you need more heat from the bottom of the oven,
adjust the shelf level as required, or (depending on
models) turn the oven function control knob to
(bottom heating element only).
Fan cooking
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature. The fan behind the back panel circulates
heated air into the oven.
If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven
at the same time, place the shelves on the first and third
position from the bottom (fig. 6). If you are cooking only
one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this
will give you better results.
Grilling
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( ) and set the thermostat knob on the required
temperature.
When grilling meat or fish, spread a little oil on them 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.
Defrosting
Turn the oven function control knob to the relevant
symbol ( - ) and set the thermostat knob on the FF
position (symbol : l). The oven fan operates without
heat and circulates the air, at room temperature, inside
the oven.
 The temperatures inside the oven can reach 250°C.
Always ensure that you are using oven proof baking
trays, oven dishes, etc.
 Do not place pans, biscuit pans or aluminium foil
directly on the base of the oven. This could cause a
heat build-up which could affect the performance of
the oven and damage the oven enamel.
 Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since
these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-
heated. For the same reason, be careful when
placing or removing food in the oven, not to let any
fat or oil fall on the oven base. If this happens,
carefully clean the oven to avoid unpleasant smells
or smoke.
Fig. 6
Always cook with the oven door closed.
Hints and Tips on Cooking
Fish and Meat
You can place meat in oven proof dishes, or directly on
the oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the
dripping pan in the first position from the bottom with
some water in it. The dripping pan will avoid the falling
of melted fat on the oven base.
White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium
temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 °C). If you
need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside
and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe-
rature (between 200 and 250 °C) for a short time is
recommended.
Hints and Tips on aking
Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking,
between 150 and 200 °C.
A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is
recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. nce the
cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed
during all the cooking time, and check the cooking
results through the oven door glass.
Hints and Tips on grilling
If you need to grill meat or fish, place them directly on
the shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill
function, heat comes only from the top element.
Therefore, you need to adjust the cooking level
depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember
to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some
water in it.
