! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
   A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table).

During cooking it is always possible to:

• Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
• Set the total cooking time and the cooking end time (see below).
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance.

THERMOSTAT indicator light

When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

Oven light

This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than "0". It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting 🙏 with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.

Timer

To activate the Timer proceed as follows:

1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction to set the desired length of time.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power level is recommended.

! The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.

The different cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs: the selection knob and the thermostat knob. For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified by the "0", the oven light turns on; the knob setting marked ⚙ permits turning on the oven light without any heating element being switched on. When the oven light is on, it means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on for the entire time the oven is being used.

Static oven:

Thermostat setting: anywhere between 50°C and MaxMax

The oven light turns on and the top and bottom heating elements (resistors) switch on. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob, is reached automatically and kept constant by the thermostat control. This function permits cooking and type of food thanks to excellent temperature distribution.

The bottom heating element |—|

Thermostat setting: anywhere between 50°C and MaxMax

The oven light turns on and so does the bottom heating element. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob, is reached automatically and kept constant. This setting is recommended for finishing the cooking of foods (placed in pans) that are well done on the outside but still not done inside or for desserts covered with fruit or jam which require a light browning on top. Note that this function does not permit reaching the maximum (250°C) temperature inside for cooking foods always on this

oven setting unless the foods are cakes which only require temperatures below or equal to 180^ C.

The Top heating element |—|

Thermostat setting: anywhere between 50°C and MaxMax

The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ray grill. The rather high and direct temperature of the grill permits browning the outside of meats immediately thus keeping in the juices and assuring tenderness.

The grill |

Thermostat setting: anywhere between 50°C and MaxMax

The oven light turns on and so does the double heating element of the grill. This grill is larger than the average and has a completely new design: cooking performance is increased 50%. The double grill makes sure that even the corners are touched by heat.

When using the grill, keep the oven door closed to obtain the best results and save energy (aboutsave energy (a 10%).10%).

When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level

! When using the grill, the oven door must be left partly open by positioning the deflector between door and panel to prevent the cooker knobs from overheating.

The oven-operating pilot lamp

Signals when the oven is heating. It switches off when the temperature inside the oven reached the temperature selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is operating correctly to keep the oven temperature constant.

The hotplate pilot lamp

This lights up when an electric plate is turned on.

! Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very hot during the cooking.

Practical cooking advice

! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

GRILL

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

The turnspit

To operate the rotisserie, proceed as follows:

• place the dripping-pan on the 1st rack;
• insert the special rotisserie support on the 4th rack and position the spit by inserting it through the special hole into the rotisserie at the back of the oven;

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product.

All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL modes. This will achieve better results while saving energy (approximately 10%).
• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

• The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.

• Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any remaining drops of water should also be dried.
