Accessories Oven shelf

GB Enamelled dripping pan This is used to catch cooking juices. You should avoid cooking roast meat directly in the dripping pan as this risks causing a considerable amount of spattering and smoking.

Rotisserie This comprises a spit, 2 prongs, a removable handle and a cradle, which fits into the 3rd shelf level from the bottom. To use the rotisserie, fit the spit into the hole in the back wall of the oven. Place the drip pan on the oven shelf placed in its lowest position in the oven.

Important recommendations : - Never cover the inside of your oven with aluminium foil in order to avoid cleaning. By causing overheating you will damage the interior enamel of the oven. - After cooking, never pick up hot pans, utensils and accessories using your bare hands (oven shelf, spit, dripping plan, spit cradle, etc).

Safety recommendations Please read these instructions before installing and using your oven. The oven has been designed for domestic use only for cooking food. No asbestos has been used in its construction. USING FOR THE FIRST TIME: Before you use your oven for the first time, leave it empty and, with the door closed, turn it on to maximum temperature and let it heat up for 15 minutes. This "runs the oven in". During this time there may be some smell from the mineral wool that insulates the oven and there could be some smoke. This is perfectly normal. NORMAL USE: - Always close the door properly. The oven is fitted with a seal designed to work with a closed door. - Never lean or let anyone sit on the oven door when it is open. - Do not use the grill when the door is half open as the accessible parts or the outer surfaces may get hot. As a safety measure, keep children well away. - When the oven is on it will get hot. Take care not to touch the heating elements inside the oven. - Always protect your hands with oven gloves or something similar when removing food, accessories or containers from the oven. - Do not line your oven with kitchen foil. The metal will increase the heat produced and could ruin the food and damage the enamel. - Never use a spray or a high-pressure washer to clean the oven. - During the cleaning cycle accessible surfaces become much hotter than during normal cooking. Keep children at a distance.

How to install your oven Electrical connections

Electricity meter (mains) (20A, single-phase 220-240 V alternating current 50 Hz)

GB Fused 16A or differential circuit breaker 220-240 V single phase alternating current supply Socket 2 -pin with earth

Connecting cable approx 1.50 m. long

• Before connecting your oven, make sure you are using the correct size cable. The cross-section should be the same as the cable connected to the oven. Use a 16-amp fuse.

How to install your oven Connecting up

As a specialist, you alone are competent to install and connect up Fagor appliances. Our guarantee therefore applies only and exclusively to appliances which have been installed and connected up by you in accordance with the provisions of current regulations. Failure to meet this requirement would incur the fitter's liability and release the Fagor company from any liability. Electrical connections must be made as per the connection plate fixed to the back of the appliance, by an electrical fitter. Who must ensure that the appliance has been connected up in accordance with fitting instructions and local regulations. Where the appliance is not connected to the mains electricity supply by a plug, an omni polar cutout device (with a contacts gap of at least 3 mm) must be fitted on the supply side of the connection to meet safety requirements. NOTE: When power is connected, the electronics of the oven are initialised; this neutralizes the lighting for a few seconds. If the oven is connected to the power supply by a plug, this must remain accessible once the oven has been fitted. We cannot accept any liability in the event of an accident resulting from non-existent or faulty earthing. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, his after-sales service department or similarly qualified personnel in order to avoid all risks of danger.

We cannot accept any liability in the event of an accident resulting from non-existent or faulty earthing. 88

How to install your oven Dimensions for installation use Adjustment

The oven has an high-performance air circulation system which gives remarkable results for cooking and cleaning, as long as the following points are applied: • The oven may be fitted either underneath a work surface or in a suitable sized column unit. Cut a hole measuring 50 mm x 50 mm in the back wall of the insert space for the electric cable to pass through (please see diagram above). • Centre the oven in the unit, and make that it is at least 2 mm from any other unit beside it. • The unit must be heat-resistant (or covered with heat-resistant material). • The oven must be disconnected from the power supply while it is being installed in the unit. • For greater stability, fix the oven in the unit with 2 screws in the holes on the side uprights (see diagram). Make a 3 mm diameter hole in the side of the unit first to prevent the wood from splitting.

If you are unsure about fitting this oven yourself please use a qualified electrician. 89
