Turnthe Minute minder knob clockwise to the maximum time position, then turn it back to the required time. When cooking time is over, an acoustic alarm will sound. The minute minder will not affect in any way the oven operation. The Safety Thermostat This ovenis provided with a safety thermostat. In case of malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Cooling fan The purpose of the fan is to cool the control panel, the knobs and the oven door handle. The air stream flows out between the control panel and the oven door handle. To ensure proper cooling, the fan will continue to ope- rate even after the oven is turned off, until normal temperature levels have been reached. Fig. 3 FO 2456 All cookings must be carried out with the oven door closed When the ovenis first installed Once the oven has been installed: cg a) set the thermostat knob to MAX; b) switch the oven function control knob to conventional cooking @: c) allow the oven to run empty for approximately 45 minutes; d) open a window for ventilation. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be emitted. This is absolutely normal, and is caused by residues of manufacturing. Once this operation is carried out, let the oven cool down, then cleanthe oven cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water. Before cooking for the first time, carefully wash the shelf and the dripping pan. To open the oven door, always catch the handle in its central part (Fig. 4).

Cooking with the multifunction oven Conventional cooking Turnthe oven function control knobtothe relevant symbol (=) andsetthe thermostat knobonthe requiredtempe- rature. If your dish need more heat from the top or from the bottom adjust the shelf level as required (see Fig. 6). The Fan Oven Turnthe oven function control knobtothe relevant symbol (=) and setthe thermostat knob onthe required tempe- rature. The fan situated behindthe back panel circulates heated air into the oven. If you need to cook more than one dish in the fan oven atthe same time, place the shelves on the first and third position from the bottom (See Fig. 5). If you are cooking only one dish in the fan oven, use the lower positions, as this will give you better results. Defrosting Turnthe oven function control knobtothe relevant symbol (=) and set the thermostat knob on the OFF position (symbol : @). The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air, atroomtemperature, insidethe oven. Thisincreases the rate at which defrosting takes place. Grilling Turnthe oven function controlknobtothe relevant symbol ((u)] and setthe thermostat knob onthe requiredtempe- rature. Place the oven shelf as shown in Fig. 6. FO 0061 Fig.5 Î Hints and Tips on Cooking Fish and Meat You can place meatin oven proof dishes, ordirectly onthe oven shelf. In this case, remember to place the dripping panin the first position from the bottom with some water init. The dripping pan will avoid the falling of melted fat on the oven base. White meat, poultry and fish in general, need a medium temperature cooking (between 150 and 175 ° C). If you need to cook red meat (slightly browned on the outside and more gently cooked in the inside), a higher tempe- rature (between 200 and 250 * C) for a short time is recommended. L | Hints and Tips on baking Cakes usually need a medium temperature cooking, between 150 and 200 °C. A short oven pre-heating (about 10 minutes) is recommeded when cooking cakes or baking. Once the cooking has been started, keep the oven door closed during all the cooking time, and check the cooking results through the oven door glass. L | Hints and Tips on grilling Ifyou need to grill meat orfish, place them directly onthe shelf after spreading a little oil on them. In the grill function, heat comes only from the top element. Therefore, youneedto adjustthe cookinglevel depending on meat or fish's thickness. Always remember to place the dripping pan in the lower position with some water in it. Fig. 6

Cleaning and Maintenance General Cleaning Before cleaning, always allowthe ovento cool down. + Whenusing spray cleaning products, be careful not to spread them on the heating elements or on the thermostat sensor. + __ Never use harsh abrasives, steel wool or cleaners with bleach, as they could damage the enamel and the oven door glass. The Oven Cavity The enamelled oven cavityis best cleaned whilstthe oven is still warm. Itis advisabletowipethe oven overwith a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water after each use. However, from time to time, it will be necessary to do a more complete cleaning, using a proper oven cleaner. In case of particularly tough stains, you can use stainless steel cleaning products or some warm vinegar. + fcookingfruits, some over-heated natual acids can squeeze and settle on the oven enamel, causing stains quite difficult to remove. This could affect the enamel brightness, but it will have no consequence on the oven performances. To avoidthese stainsto be burnt out during the next cooking, carefully clean the oven cavity after all fruits cookings. The Oven Door and its gasket Before cleaning the oven door, we recommend you to remove it fromthe oven. Proceed as follows: a) open the oven door completely; Æ Ë) find the hinges linking the door to the oven (fig c) unlock and turn the small levers located onthe two hinges (fig. 7); d)handlethe door byitsleft-andright-hand sides, then slowly turn it towards the oven until it is half- closed; e) gently pull the oven door off its site (fig. 7); f) place it on a steady plan; g) unscrew the two screws marked with lett. A fig.8; h) pull upthe oven doorglass andtake it away from the oven door. Clean the oven door glass with warm water and a softh cloth only. Once the cleaning is carried out, refit the oven door, followingthe procedure in reverse. The correct operation ofthe ovenis ensured by a gasket placed round the edge ofthe oven cavity. + _ Periodically check the condition of this gasket. If necessary, clean it without using abrasive cleaning products. + __Ifthe gasket shows to be damaged, call you local Service Centre. Do not use the oven until it has been repaired. Replacing the Oven Light + Ensure the electricity supply is switched off before carrying out this operation. The oven bulb has to comply to these features: a) resistant to temperatures of 300 °C; b) electric rate: 230 V - 50 Hz; c) electric power rate: 15 W.; d) connection type: E 14. To replace the bulb, proceed as follows (Fig. 9): a) push in and turn the glass lid anticlockwise; b) removetha faulty bulb; c) replace it with a new one; d) refit the glass lid; e) switch on the electricity supply.
