GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE SURE THAT THE PLUG IS CORRECTLY GROUNDED

This appliance must be grounded: in the event of short circuits, the ground connection reduces the risk of electric shock, allowing the electrical current to be dispersed.

This appliance is fitted with a power cable with ground wire.

The plug must be connected to a power outlet that has been correctly installed and grounded.

WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUND WIRE MAY LEAD TO THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

If you are not sure that the power outlet is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician.

If an extension cord is required, only use three-wire extension cords with three-pin plugs and sockets that fit the plug on the appliance.

The capacity of the extension cord must be greater than or equal to the rated power input of the appliance.

• The length of the power cable for this appliance has been devised so as to avoid the possibility of tripping on or getting entangled in a long cable.

If a longer cable is required, an extension cord can be used with a rated capacity not below 15 amps, 120 volt and with UL/CSA approval.

• A six-foot long extension cord, with a 15 amp rating, is available from authorized resellers.

When using an extension cord, make sure it does not hang loose in the work area or where someone may accidentally trip on it or get entangled in it.

• Handle the power cable with care for longer life; avoid pulling or stressing the cable around the connectors to the power outlet and the appliance.

1.6 INSTALLATION

1) Check that the appliance has not suffered any damage due to transportation.
2) Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface out of the reach of children (the glass door becomes very hot while the oven is in operation).
3) Before using this appliance, move it two inches away from the wall or any object on the counter top. Remove any object that may have been placed on top of the appliance. Do not use on surfaces where heat may be a problem.
4) Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15min ). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them from salt effects during shipping from the factory.
5) When a function is started, the START/STOP button will light.
6) If ERR message is shown on display, the oven has been damaged. Please contact an authorized service center.

1.7 IMPORTANT TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

ACCESSORIES AND UTENSILS

The bake pan (H) is designed to permit the circulating heat to surround the food (except for the bottom surface) more effectively. Use it as you would any shallow baking or roasting pan. Other utensils you own can be used provided that an inch or so of space remains open to allow circulation of the fan-forced heat. Casserole covers should not be used and glass ovenware should not be placed closer than two inches from the upper heating ele

ment.

The cookie sheets (L) provided must also be centered on the rack. When using both sheets on two wire racks, place the reversible wire rack in the upper guide.

PREHEATING THE OVEN

To pre-heat the oven, press the required function (BAKE, FAN & BAKE) and set the desired temperature (only for BAKE and FAN & BAKE). After having pressed START/STOP, if no duration has been set, the display will show the countdown starting from the default duration of 30 minutes. On reaching the set temperature, the control will emit 3 "beeps" 3 times.

USING ALUMINUM FOIL

Do NOT allow foil to touch sides of the oven or the heating elements. Foil can be used to cover foods or the shallow pan (for easier clean-up) provided foil is tucked in securely around the food or the edges of the pan or dish. DO NOT cover the broiling rack as this can cause accumulated grease to catch fire. DO NOT cover the crumb tray (C).

Unlike an ordinary toaster-oven, the DE'LONGHI features 8 functions: convection/defrost, traditional bake, keep warm, broil, toast, dehydrate, smart cookie and pizza functions.

2.1 SETTING THE CLOCK

• When the appliance is connected to the power supply for the first time, or after a power outage, four dashes will appear on the display () . In order to set the time of day, proceed as described below:

Notes:

• If the cooking time is not set (skipping point 3), the display will show the countdown starting from the default duration of 30 minutes.
• The oven should always be preheated. Wait for the audible signal (3 times 3 short beeps) before placing the tray with food in the oven.
• The set time can be modified during cooking by simply repeating point 3. The countdown will automatically restart 3 seconds after the last setting.
• To display the current temperature inside the oven during the cooking process, simply press the TEMP./SELECT/CLOCK button (11). While the temperature is displayed, you have 3 seconds to press the TEMP./SELECT/CLOCK button (11) again to modify the set temperature.
• If the START/STOP button (13) is not pressed within 3 minutes from the previous setting, the control will return to stand-by.

Cooking on 2 levels at the same time with the convection oven

The convection oven function allows different foods to be cooked at the same time, placed on 2 levels.

The heat provided by the 2 heating elements, is distributed inside the oven by the air, circulated by the fan.

In this way, the heat reaches every part of the oven uniformly and quickly; the air inside the oven is very dry, preventing the mixing of flavors.

To cook two dishes at the same time, simply observe these general rules.

1. The cooking times for different recipes prepared simultaneously are higher than when the items are cooked individually.
2. Around halfway through cooking, change the position of the 2 bake pans, placing the top one on the lower wire rack and vice-versa.

In addition, turn the bake pans half-way around.

Note: the wire racks must be positioned as shown in the figure to the side.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

With FAN & BAKE / DEFROST mode, a fan gently circulates the heated air within the oven, providing a more

even temperature around the food. This system, used in many large commercial ovens for years, produces more even browning and cooking of baked foods, meats and poultry. The forced air also displaces the layer of cold air surrounding the food, allowing faster cooking in many cases or a lowering of temperature. In general, meats and poultry can be cooked in less time (a meat thermometer will help to prevent overcooking). Cakes, pies, cookies, etc. can be baked at a lower temperature (see charts).

BAKE mode is used when browning and crisping are less important or undesirable. Use it, following conventional recipes, for casseroles, stuffed vegetables, fish, lasagna, fruit tarts, cheeses and other moist mixtures.

IMPORTANT

We recommend cooking chicken, roasts and small fowl directly on the broiling rack resting on the baking pan (see fig. on the left) to avoid fat spattering onto the sides of the oven and dripping onto the bottom. See the following sections for further details.

CONVECTION BAKING OF CONVENIENCE FOODS

Many convenience foods can be successfully baked or heated by convection on the FAN & BAKE / DEFROST mode. In general, follow the package directions for temperature and time. However, lower the temperature by 25^ . There is such a wide choice of convenience foods on the market and variations in packaging, quantities and initial temperatures (frozen, refrigerated and shelf temperature) that it's best to follow the package instructions. Check the food 5 to 10 minutes before the time is up; you may need to adjust the time and/or temperature for best results.

Here are some tips for different types of convenience foods:

• If directions call for placing the food container on a metal pan or cookie sheet to avoid spills or to aid even cooking, use the bake pan provided. Use it or the cookie sheets provided for foods, such as rolls, cookies, turnovers or frozen French fries, breaded fish or chicken pieces, that are placed directly on a pan or cookie sheet.
• Some frozen foods come in "oven-proof" plastic or paper containers which can be cooked in a microwave oven and, within limits, a conventional oven. Be sure to follow directions for maximum baking temperature. The container can melt or scorch if too high a temperature is used. To be on the safe side, set the oven 25^ lower than the recommended temperature.
• When baking packaged mixtures (such as scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese, brownies, corn bread, caffeecake and cake mixes) check the package directions for recommended sizes of pan, casserole or dish and the proper baking times for each. A 9-inch round or an 11 × 7 inch rectangular pan will fit in the oven with room on all sides for air circulation.

Layer cake mixes can be baked one layer at a time in a 8- or 9-inch round pan or all of the batter in a 3-inch deep 9-inch round bundt or spring-form pan.

• Trim excess fat from meat. Dry meat, fish and poultry surfaces with paper towel.
• Place the food on the broiling rack set in the shallow pan as shown in the figure. Position wire rack so that food will be about 2 inches from top heating element. Thick foods such as chicken pieces should be 3 - 4 inches from the element.
• The broiling rack can be inverted if necessary, but do not attempt to broil without the rack as fat drippings can smoke or flame. BROIL RACK
• For easier clean-up, the shallow pan can be lined with foil. Be sure not to cover the broiling rack or let foil extend beyond the edges of the pan.
• Be careful when turning food or removing the pan. Use potholders and avoid spilling drippings.
• Never cover heating elements with foil.
• To top-brown casseroles with crumb or cheese toppings, place the dish directly on the OVEN TRAY wire rack 2 - 3 inches from the top element. Close the door and watch carefully to avoid burning the toppings. NOTE: Oven-glass dishes should not be exposed to direct broiler heat.

OVEN TRAY

When the function and the temperature controls are set to BROIL only the top element heats at full power. Set the broiling rack in the bake pan on the wire rack in position 2 (see pag. 6) so that the food is few inches from the top element. For thick foods such as chicken parts place the rack in position 1. If necessary, the broiling rack can be inverted in the pan. The broiling rack shields the fat drippings from direct heat, reducing spattering, smoking and possible flaming. Always use the shallow pan when broiling any fatty foods.

3.1 CARE AND CLEANING

Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and bad odors during cooking. Do not let fat accumulate inside the appliance.

Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, unplug the oven and wait for it to cool down.

Clean the door, the inside walls and the enamel or painted surfaces of the oven with a soap and water solution; dry thoroughly.

To clean the aluminum surfaces on the inside of the oven, never use products that corrode aluminum (detergents in spray cans) and never scrape the walls with sharp objects.

To clean the outside surface always use a damp sponge.

Avoid using abrasive products that may damage the exterior.

Make sure water or liquid soap does not seep into the vents on the top of the oven.

Never immerse the appliance in water; never wash it under a jet of water.

All the accessories are washed like normal dishes, either by hand or in the dishwasher.

Crumb tray

Slide the crumb tray out from under the bottom of your oven. Wash by hand. Should the soilage be difficult to remove, rinse the crumb tray with hot soapy water and if necessary, scour it delicately, without scratching it.

Interior light

When the oven is on, the light inside the oven is always on.

To replace the bulb, proceed as follows: unplug the appliance from the power outlet, unscrew the glass cover and replace the bulb with a new one of the same type (resistant to high temperatures) and then replace the glass cover.

What does the warranty cover?

We warrant each appliance to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Our obligation under this warranty is limited to repair at our factory or authorized service center of any defective parts or part thereof, other than parts damaged in transit. In the event of a products replacement or return, the unit must be returned transportation prepaid. The repaired or new model will be returned at the company expense.

This warranty shall apply only if the appliance is used in accordance with the factory directions, which accompany it, and on an Alternating current ( AC ) circuit.

How long does the coverage last?

This warranty runs for one year ( 1 ) from the purchase date found on your receipt and applies only to the original purchaser for use.

What is not covered by the warranty?

The warranty does not cover defects or damage of the appliance, which result from repairs or alterations to the appliance outside our factory or authorized service centers, nor shall it apply to any appliance, which has been subject to abuse, misuse, negligence or accidents. Also, consequential and incidental damage resulting from the use of this product or arising out of any breach of contract or breach of this warranty are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
