GB USER INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL WARNINGS Read carefully all the instructions contained in this booklet. It provides you with important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance as well as useful advice for getting the best out of your oven. Keep this booklet in a safe place for future reference. After removing the packing, check that the appliance is not damaged in any way. Be careful not to leave the packing materials (plastic sheeting, expanded polystyrene etc.) where children can get at them, as they can be dangerous. IMPORTANT: do not use the oven door handle to move the appliance, such as to remove it from the packaging.

ENVIRONMENTAL WARNING Waste packsging Do not throw the packaging of your appliance into the dustbin, but pick out the different materials (e.g. foil, paperboard, polystyrene) according to the local rules for rubbish elimination.

CAUTION: The appliance may become very hot during use. Please avoid touching the heating elements inside the oven. The oven surfaces may get very hot when the grill is in use. Keep children well away

The first time you switch the oven on, acrid smelling smoke may appear. This is caused by the heating of the adhesive used on the insulation panels surrounding the oven. There is nothing unusual about this. If it happens, simply wait untill the smoke disappears before putting any food in the oven. Never roast or bake on the oven base. IMPORTANT This appliance must be used exclusively for cooking food and not for any other purpose. Any other use of the appliance (such as heating a room) is improper and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for any damage caused by the improper and unreasonable use of the appliance. There are certain basic rules which must be observed when using any electrical appliance, i.e.: - disconnect the appliance from the electric mains supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation. - never try to remove a plug from the mains supply socket by pulling on the cable - never touch an appliance if your hands or feet are wet or damp - never operate an appliance if you are barefoot - never allow children or incompetent people to use the appliance unsupervised. - in case of negligent use near the oven door hinges, you could hurt your hands - if the appliance breaks down and/or does not work properly, switch off and do not tamper with it. All repairs should be carried out only by an approved service agent. You should insist that only original spare parts are used. Failure to follow the above advice can affect the safety of your appliance. SPECIFICATION The ovens are designed to operate with a monophase alternating current of 230V 50Hz. Anyway, before the installation of the appliance, we suggest you to check always these specifications on the rating label applied on the outside rear part.

TANGENTIAL CONVECTION ( According to the models ). The tangential convection is provided by a fan, which automatically starts when the oven is switched on. The fan produces a flow of air that comes out of the front grilles, forming a barrier against the heat of the oven, while at the same time cooling the door handle and the cooker front panel. The air circulation also provides greater heat insulation of the electronic and mechanical components of the appliance, improving its reliability and life, as well as preventing condensation, so that the door glass is always clear for a perfect view of the interior. The fact that the fan continues running even after the oven has been switched off is an additional safety feature, in that it warns the user of the need to be careful because there is still residual heat inside the oven. The tangential fan system is installed on both electric and gas cookers.

INDICATOR LIGHTS The indicator lights situated above the control panel go on and off when the heating elements are inserted or removed. During the thermostatic functioning of the oven, the neon light remains on untill the pre-chosen temperature is reached and when it goes out, this is a sign that the temperature has been reached. When the oven cools, the thermostat determines the re-insertion of the heating elements with consequent re-lighting of the indicator lights. In some models the internal oven light, which is always on when any function is in operation, is considered as an operating warning light.

The parts of this appliance that may come into contact with foodstuffs comply with the provisions of EEC Directive 89/109. Moreover this appliance complies with european directives 89/336/CEE, 73/23/CEE and following changes. INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE Installation should be carried out according to the instructions by a professionally qualified person. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, animals or things due to a wrong installation.

A FITTING THE APPLIANCE Fit the appliance into its surround (beneath a work-top or above another appliance) by inserting screws into the 4 holes that can be seen in the frame of the oven when the door is open.

GB For the most efficient air circulation, the oven should be fitted according to the dimensions shown in fig.1-2 of page 2. The rear panel of the cabinet must be removed so that air can circulate freely. The panel to which the oven is fitted should have a gap of at least 70 mm at the rear. NB: where ovens are to be matched with hobs, it is essential to follow the instructions contained in the booklet supplied with the other appliance. IMPORTANT For a built-in oven to work well the cabinet must be of the right type. The panels of the adjoining furniture should be heat resistant. Particularly when the adjoining furniture is made of veneered wood, the adhesives should be able to withstand a temperature of 120°C. Plastic materials or adhesive which cannot withstand this temperature will become deformed or unstuck. To comply with safety regulations, once the appliance has been fitted it should not be possible to make contact with the electrical parts. All parts which offer protection should be fixed in such a way that they cannot be removed without the use of a tool. Fig.6

TYPE AND SECTION OF SUPPLY CABLE CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY THE APPLIANCE MUST BE CONNECTED IN CONFORMANCE TO THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE, AND ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED ELECTRICAL INSTALLER. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED Check that the power rating of the mains supply and sockets are suitable for the maximum appliance power as indicated on the specification plate. Fit the plug into a three pin, earthed socket. This should be properly connected. If the appliance does not come already fitted with a plug, fit a regulation plug suitable for the power indicated on the specification plate. The earth wire is yellow/green. If the plug fitted to the appliance is incompatible with the socket, get a professionally qualified person to fit the correct type of plug and ensure that the cable thickness is suitable for the appliance input power. If an appliance is not equipped with supply cable and plug, the power supply must be fitted with a disconnect switch in which the distance between contacts permits total disconnection in accordance with overvoltage category III, as required by installation regulations.

In the ovens with this kind of terminal board, no supply cable is assembled. In conformity with the kind of mains supply, use a cable according to the table below. 230V~ 400V 2N~ 400V 3N~

KIND OF MAINS SUPPLY Different connections can be made simply by moving the jumpers on the terminal board. 230 V~ L1

The yellow/green earth wire should not be controlled by the switch. The plug or monophase switch used for mains supply connection should be easy to access when the appliance is in position. Important: position the mains supply cable so that it is never subjected to a temperature more than 50°C above room temperature. The appliance’s electrical safety can only be guaranteed when it has been correctly connected to a properly earthed power supply, as laid down in the regulations for electrical safety. Important: the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage to persons or objects due to the lack of an earth connection.

N E E OVEN MAINTENANCE ALWAYS UNPLUG THE PLUG FROM THE CURRENT SOCKET OR SWITCH OFF THE CURRENT ON THE POWER SUPPLY LINE BY MEANS OF THE MAINS CIRCUIT SWITCH, BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE OVEN. If the cable is damaged, fit a replacement in the following way: - remove the mains cable (see fig.6-7) and replace it with one of the same length which is rubber insulated (type H05RR-F or H05RNF ) and suitable for the power rating of the appliance. The “yellow/green” earth wire, which must be connected to terminal , has to be about 10 mm longer than the other wires; the “blue” neutral wire has to be connected to the terminal marked with letter N. “Black, brown, red” live wires have to be connected to terminal L or L1-L2-L3.

GB Special instructions for combined models . The models below can be matched with all types of built-in hobs of the electric or glass-ceramic series. These ovens, by means of the terminal boards for junction to the hob, electrically supply the heating elements of the hobs itself (see fig.8). The ways of combining them are described in the instructions supplied with the hobs. CONNECTING THE HOB TO THE OVEN MATCH UP THE COLOURED SYMBOLS BETWEEN OVEN TERMINAL BOARD AND HOB TERMINAL BOARD. EARTH THE HOB USING POINT A.

Special instructions for polyvalent models . The models below can be matched with all types of built-in hobs of the gas-electric-combined. These ovens do not electrically supply the hob elements. The hob must be separately supplied in accordance with the instructions supplied with this appliance. Sometimes on the control panel there is an ignition button for gas burners or an indicator light for the electric plates operation, or both of them. In this case the ovens are supplied with terminal board “A” (see fig. 9), enabling the connection of these components to the hob. The ways of combining them are described in the instructions supplied with the hobs. Important: the control panels of the ovens can be fitted with 4 knobs, each with a surround suitable for controlling four-burners hobs (fig. 9b), or electric hobs (see fig. 9c or fig. 9d). If the hob to be matched is of a different type (combined ), one or more of the surrounds need to be replaced using whether those of fig. 9b or those of fig. 9c or fig. 9d. N.B.: The surrounds are supplied with the oven, and the knobs, with their respective springs, are fitted to the control panel. NOTE: the oven control panel shows the positions of the hob components to be combined. As for the gas burners, use the surrounds with the simbols of fig. 9b. As for the electric plates, use the surrounds of fig. 9c or fig. 9d.

USEFUL NOTES FOR COOKING In the following table, some indicative hints for cooking:

FAULTS CAUSES REMEDIES The upper crust is dark and the lower part too pale

Not enough heat from the bottom

- Use the natural convection position - Use deeper cake tins - Lower the temperature - Put the cake on a lower shelf

The lower part is dark and the upper crust too pale

Excessive heat from the bottom

- Use the natural convection position - Use lower side tins - Lower the temperature - Put the cake on a higher shelf

The outside is too cooked and the inside not cooked enough

Too high temperature

- Lower the temperature and increase the cooking time

The outside is too dry even though of the right colour

- Increase the temperature and reduce the cooking time

COOKING WITHOUT FAN - Natural convection Preheat the oven for 10-15 minutes. Grease the meat with a little oil, put it on the drip-tray and place everything quickly into the oven. In mid-cooking change the meat position, avoiding any further opening of the door, if possible. - Grilling Preheat the grill for about 5 minutes (till the heating element becomes red). Prepare natural or aromatized meat and place it on the grill pan. Place on the shelf near the top. Place the drip-tray with a little water underneath for collecting the cooking juices. The grill can be used to gratinate and brown after normal cooking. COOKING WITH FAN - Defrosting To defrost food, place it still wrapped up in its aluminium or polythene sheet protection on a dish. Place everything on the grid in the oven centre. The door must be closed. - Fan oven It is not necessary to preheat the oven, except for very short cooking times or food with considerable quantity of liquid (e.g. fruit tartes) to avoid condensation. In case of batch cooking, you can introduce food with approximately equal cooking temperatures (even if the length of time differs) on two or more shelves without mixing tastes and flavours. It is possible to put food into the oven or to take it out of it without heat losses caused by the door opening. Heat will be quickly recovered by means of the fan. Cooking temperatures are lower than those of the convectional oven (from 20 to 30°C for pastries and from 30 to 40°C for meats) whereas times are longer (50° - 10 minutes). - Fan assisted grill It does not need preheating. Cooking must be operated with the door closed. The distance between grill and food should be proportionate to the required results: - nearer for undone meat brown on its surface - far from it for food perfectly baked inside. The drip-tray with a little water for collecting meat juices has to be placed on the first shelf underneath. MISCELLANEOUS Marinated meat and boneless meat cook quicker than other sorts; cooking progress can be checked by pressing the meat with a fork; if it does not yield, it is properly cooked. Before slicing the meat wait at least 15 minutes, to allow the juice to settle. If the meat is larded or covered by bacon, it should not be cooked at too high temperatures to avoid splattering. Pastry cakes should be cooked blind for 2/3 of the cooking time before being filled. The remaining cooking time depends on the garnishing (fruit, jam). Beaten doughs should not be too much fluid, as this could only extend cooking times. Do not place pans directly on to the oven base as the heat which comes from below cannot escape. This may cause breakage or cracking of the enamelling.

GB CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Wait until the appliance has cooled down before attempting to clean it. Disconnect it from the power supply, either by pulling the plug out or switching off the power supply at the mains. Clean enamelled, chromed or painted parts with warm water and soap, or non-corrosive liquid detergent. Clean stainless steel parts using methylated spirit of a suitable commercially produced solution. Clean aluminium panels or edges with cotton wool or with a cloth soaked in vaseline or a seed-based oil. Clean and then go over it with methylated spirit. Never use abrasives, corrosive detergents, bleaches or acids for cleaning the oven. Do not leave corrosive or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on enamelled, painted or stainless steel parts. Removal of oven door (Fig.21) To make cleaning easier, remove the oven door as follows: insert hook A (fig.21) in hinge slot B. Half open the door and, using both hands, pull the door towards you untill it becomes unhooked. To refit the door, carry out the same operation in reverse, taking care to introduce the two sectors C correctly.

B A Removalcleaning of oven of door fixed becomes fulcrum ) more convenient if the door is removed In-depth the( oven following the instructions below:

Fig. 21B Fig. 21A C A D Fig. 21C Fig. 21D Fig. 22

Removal of inside glass (Fig.22) For some models there is the possibility to remove the inside glass (A) by opening the door and simply unscrewing screws (B). This allows internal cleaning of the glass. Always clean the outer glass parts when the oven is cold using a damp cloth. Never use abrasives.

Self-cleaning panels (fig.23) If the oven is fitted with self-cleaning panels, at normal cooking temperatures the catalytic enamel helps transform grease splashes into a light dust. This dust can be removed with a damp sponge when the oven has cooled down. This helps keep the surface of the enamel porous and ensures maximum cleaning efficiency. The self-cleaning panels and the shelves frame are very easy to remove. The shelves holder frame is hooked on to three catches. Simply press the catches down slightly to remove the frame (fig.23A). This will also release the self-cleaning lateral panel (fig.23B). To release the rear self-cleaning panel (which also acts as the fan guard), refer to fig. 23C; after cleaning, reposition the self-cleaning panel by performing the above steps in the reverse order. In some models these three panels are not installed, and the selfcleaning coating is on the oven side walls. Install the grids, by placing them on the horizontal slides inside the oven wall. The raised part of the grid must be in face of the oven rear wall (fig. 9D).

B A Oven light (fig.24) The oven bulb is a special kind which is resistant to high temperatures. Replace it in the following way: disconnect the oven from the power supply, either by pulling the plug out or by switching off the power supply at the mains; remove the protective glass (A) and replace the burnt out bulb with one of the same type. Replace the protective glass.

B C Important: if you decide not to use the oven any more, it should be made inoperable by cutting the power supply cable, after unplugging it from the power supply. Disused appliances can be a safety risk as children often play with them. For this reason it is advisable to make the oven safe.

1 open the oven door completely.2flip the hinge hooks "A" outwards (see fig. 8A). 3 shut the oven door slowly until it reaches hooks "A", making sure these are locked into slots "B" of the oven door, as shown in fig. 8B. 4 Using both hands, push the oven door lightly inwards, toenable the door hinges "C" to come away from the slots "D" (see fig. 8C) and pull the door towards you until it is released from the oven. After cleaning it, reposition it correctly following the abovesteps in the reverse order and flipping hooks "A" inwardsbefore you shut the oven door (fig. 8D).
