Frequently Asked Questions - D3VR 908 DF DELONGHI

How do I locate the model number on my DeLonghi cooker?

The model number is usually printed on a rating label located at the bottom of the oven door or on the back of the appliance. Look for D3VR 908 DF or a similar code. This label also contains important technical data.

Can I use the main oven and the grill at the same time?

Yes, the D3VR 908 DF is designed with independent compartments. The main oven and the grill can operate simultaneously, but be aware that using both may increase preheating times and energy consumption.

How do I clean the catalytic liners in my oven?

Catalytic liners are self-cleaning. They absorb grease and food residue during cooking and burn them off at high temperatures (above 200°C). Wipe off ash with a damp cloth once cooled. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers on these panels.

What should I do if one of the gas burners fails to ignite?

First, ensure the knob is fully pressed and turned to the maximum position. Check that the burner cap and rings are correctly placed and clean. If the spark is weak, clean the ignition electrode with a soft brush. If it still fails, the flame failure safety device may be faulty—contact a qualified service technician.

Can I convert the cooker from natural gas to LPG?

Yes, the D3VR 908 DF is convertible. However, this requires replacing the injector nozzles and adjusting the minimum flame settings. This conversion must be carried out by an authorised technician to ensure safety and correct operation.

How long does the oven take to preheat to 200°C?

Preheating typically takes about 15 minutes for the main oven and 10 minutes for the secondary oven. The temperature can be checked with the internal oven thermometer or an external oven thermometer for accuracy.

Is it safe to use metal scouring pads on the hob?

No, metal pads can damage the enamel surface of the hob. Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm soapy water. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive paste cleaner and avoid getting liquid into the burner ports.

Is the D3VR 908 DF suitable for installation in a cabinet?

No, this is a freestanding cooker. It must not be placed inside a cabinet. However, it can be fitted between cabinets as long as there is a minimum gap and the anti-tilt chain is properly installed.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Turn off the appliance and allow it to cool. Remove the protective glass cover by turning it counterclockwise. Unscrew the old bulb (E14, 15-20 W, high temperature) and replace it with a new one. Refit the cover and reconnect the electricity before use.

What does catalytic cleaning mean and how often do I need to do it?

Catalytic cleaning is a chemical process that uses special absorbent liners to break down grease at high temperatures. You do not need to run a separate cycle—just cook at normal high heat occasionally. Wipe away any ash residue afterwards. This type of cleaning reduces the need for manual oven scrubbing.

USE OF THE APPLIANCE, ENERGY SAVING TIPS

OVEN

• Check the oven door always closes properly and the door gasket is clean and in order. During use, open the oven door only when strictly necessary to avoid heat losses (for some functions it may be necessary to use the oven with the door half-closed, check the oven operating instructions).
• Turn off the oven 5-10 minutes before the end of the theoretical cooking time to recuperate the stored heat.
• We recommend using oven proof dishes and adjusting the oven temperature during cooking if necessary.

HOB

GAS FIRED BURNERS

• It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the size of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste. A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.
• Avoid keeping a burner on without something on it (without pot).

Turning the knob, so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel, achieves the following functions:

- symbol

closed valve

- symbol

maximum

aperture or flow

- symbol

minimum

aperture or flow

√ The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
√ To reduce the gas flow to minimum rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
√ Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the maximum aperture and closed positions.

NOTE:

The knob and symbols may vary.

Caution!
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.

N.B. When the cooker is not being used, set the gas knobs to their closed positions.

Caution!

The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:

1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise (fig. 3.2) to the
   full flame position marked by the symbol (fig. 3.1); hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.

In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.

1. Wait for a few seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go of the knob (valve activation delay).

2. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas flow.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed “●” position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.

If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.

DEEP FAT FRYING

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than one third full of oil.

DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off the control knobs.

Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving the pan.

DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER

On the control panel, near every knob there is a diagram that indicates which burner is controlled by that knob.

The suitable burner must be chosen according to the diameter and the capacity used.

The burners and pans must be used in accordance with the following instructions:

DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE BURNERS

BURNERS MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Auxiliary 12 cm		14 cm
Semi-rapid 16 cm		24 cm
Rapid	24 cm	26 cm
Double-ring compact	26 cm	28 cm
Wok	max 36 cm

do not use pans with concave or convex bases

It is important that the diameter of the pot be suitable to the potentiality of the burner so as not to compromise the high output of the burners and therefore energy waste. A small pot on a large burner does not give you a boiling point in a shorter amount of time since the capacity of heat absorption of a liquid mass depends on the volume and the surface of the pot.

CAUTION: Make sure the pans are central to the burner for maximum stability and greater efficiency.

Make sure the pans are not in contact with the control knobs, otherwise the flame could overheat the knobs and permanently damage them.

Fig. 3.3

CORRECT USE OF THE DOUBLE-RING COMPACT BURNER

Only flat bottom pans of the correct size are to be placed on the pan support above the Double-ring compact burner.

When using a WOK, the supplied wok stand must be placed onto the pan stand to avoid any faulty operation of the double-ring burner (fig. 3.4a). The wok should not be placed directly onto the pan support without the use of the supplied wok stand (fig. 3.4b).

IMPORTANT:

When using the wok stand it MUST ONLY BE PLACED over the pan support for the double-ring compact burner (fig.3.4a). Under no circumstances should the wok stand be placed under the pan supports (figs 3.5a - 3.5b). Incorrect placement of the wok stand in this manner may impinge the flame resulting in incomplete combustion and give rise to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO).

4 - HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION BOTTOM MAIN OVEN

Attention: the oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

GENERAL FEATURES

As its name indicates, this is an oven that presents particular features from an operational point of view.

In fact, it is possible to insert 7 different programs to satisfy every cooking need. The 7 positions, thermostatically controlled, are obtained by 4 heating elements which are:

• Bottom element
• Top element
• Grill element
• Circular element

NOTE:

Upon first use, it is advisable to operate the oven for 30 minutes in the position ☐ and 🔒 to eliminate possible traces of grease on the heating elements.

Repeat the operation for another 15 minutes with the grill element on.

Smells and fumes produced during this burn off process are not a cause of alarm. Adequate ventilation should however be provided in the room where the appliance is installed, e.g. by opening a window.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

ATTENTION - MOST IMPORTANT

Pay special attention not to touch the hot heating element inside the oven cavity.

Do not line the oven walls or base with aluminium foil. Do not place baking trays or the drip tray on the base of the oven chamber.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heating and cooking in the MULTIFUNCTION oven are obtained in the following ways:

a. by normal convection

The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.

b. by forced convection

A fan draws in the air contained in the oven, which circulates it through the circular heating element and then forced back into the oven by the fan. Before the hot air is drawn back again by the fan to repeat the cycle, it envelops the food in the oven, provoking a complete and rapid cooking. It is possible to cook several dishes simultaneously.

c. by semi-forced convection

The heat produced by the upper and lower heating elements is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

d. by radiation

The heat is radiated by the infra red grill element.

e. by radiation and ventilation

The radiated heat from the infra red grill element is distributed throughout the oven by the fan.

f. by ventilation

The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.

Before introducing the food, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.

For a correct preheating operation, it is advisable to remove the tray from the oven and introduce it together with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.

Check the cooking time and turn off the oven 5 minutes before the theoretical time to recuperate the stored heat.

Fig. 4.1

Fig. 4.2
NOTE: The knob and symbols may vary.

TEMPERATURE KNOB (fig. 4.2)

To turn on the heating elements of the oven, set first the function selector to the required setting and then the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

To set the temperature, line up the temperature knob indicator with the required temperature.

The elements will turn ON or OFF automatically according to the energy need which is determined by the thermostat.

The operation of the heating elements is signalled by a light placed on the control panel.

FUNCTION SELECTOR KNOB (fig. 4.1)

Rotate the knob clockwise to set the oven for one of the following functions:

OVEN LIGHT

By setting the knob to this position, only the oven light comes on. The light remains on whilst any of the cooking modes are selected.

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION COOKING

The heat coming from the top and bottom is diffused by forced convection.

The temperature must be regulated between 50 °C and the maximum temperature with the thermostat knob.

Recommended for:

For foods of large volume and quantity which require the same internal and external degree of cooking; for ie: rolled roasts, turkey, legs, cakes, etc.

NB DO NOT place food, trays or silver foil directly onto the base of the oven as this may damage the enamel coating of the oven.

5 - HOW TO USE THE TOP SMALL GRILL

Attention: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children away.

SWITCH AND TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

Turn the selector knob (fig. 5.1) to the required function.

OFF - as per fig. 5.1

The oven light is switched on. The indicator light close to the control knob is alight.

MIN-MAX

The oven light is switched on. The electric grill is controlled by a thermostat which allow to maintain the temperature constant.

The control of the temperature is assured by a thermostatic probe positioned inside the oven.

The probe must be always kept in its housing, in a clean condition, as an incorrect position or encrustment may cause an alteration in the control of the temperature.

To switch on the grill turn the control knob clockwise and set the knob to the required temperature between MIN and MAX.

The oven door may be opened briefly to check the cooking; however it must be closed immediately to proceed with the grilling.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

USE OF THE GRILL

With the oven door closed, preheat the oven at MAX setting for about 2 minutes.

For a correct preheating it is advisable to remove the shelves from the oven and reintroduce then, with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.

Introduce the food to be cooked, position the rack in the most suitable position for the type of food being cooked (for the best result, we suggest the bottom 2 levels). After the preheating time, set the knob to position ☐ (do not use on higher settings.

The drip pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.

Grill with the oven door closed.

Do not grill for longer than 30 minutes at any one time (Grilling for longer than the recommended time may mean the appliance overheats).

The oven light is switched on. The fan operates without the heating element, this function can be used for defrosting. The indicator light close to the control knob is alight.

To keep hot cooked food at serving temperature.

To warm the plates (at about 60 °C) before serving dinner. For correct use see the chapter "USE OF SPECIAL DISH RACK".

50-MAX

The oven light is switched on. The oven temperature can be set between 50 °C - MAX. Several different meals may be cooked simultaneously on various shelves, as the heated air circulates evenly throughout the oven.

The hot air system cooks more quickly than conventional static system, therefore the temperature should be set 10°C - 20°C below the values recommended in your recipe books.

The oven door may be opened briefly while cooking to check on the food, as any heat losses are quickly recovered when the door is closed.

COOKING WITH FORCED AIR

Preheat the oven at the desired temperature, the set value is reached when the temperature indicator light goes off.

For a correct preheating it is advisable to remove the shelves from the oven and reintroduce then, with the food, when the oven has reached the desired temperature.

We suggest not to use more than three shelves at the same time. For best cooking results, the top and bottom shelves should not be used.

Fan cooking is more economical and quicker than cooking in a conventional oven.

The moving hot air surrounds the food and penetrates it more quickly than in a conventional oven.

Cooking yeast based dishes is also speeded up this way. If the oven door has been opened, the oven quickly regains its temperature once the door is closed.

WARNING:

The door is hot, use the handle.

During use the appliance becomes hot. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements inside the oven.

This special shelf can be used as dish rack or turning over, as normal shelf for oven cooking. It must be inserted between the guides of the lateral racks.

Slide in the shelf on the guides, on the lower level of the lateral raks.

The prongs where the plates are to be inserted, must be turned upwards.

The shelf must be fitted so that the safety catch, which stops it sliding out, faces the bottom of the oven (see detail of figure 6.2).

The plates must be positioned as indicated in figure 6.2.

To facilitate this operation, pull the special rack up to the safety lock.

KEEP ATTENTION: Plates are hot after warming. It is advisable to handle the plates using oven gloves.

USING THE SPECIAL RACK FOR NORMAL COOKING

Slide in the shelf on the guides: the safety catch must be turned toward the oven base (see detail of figure 6.3).

The flat surface can be used to put cooking pans or food directly on the rack - the dripping pan should be placed under the rack to catch the cooking juices and fats.
