IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS IS PARAMOUNT This manual and the appliance itself provide important safety warnings, to be read and observed at all times. This is the danger symbol, pertaining to safety, which alerts users to potential risks to themselves and others. All safety warnings are preceded by the danger symbol and the following terms:

DANGER Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will cause serious injury.

WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could cause serious injury.

All safety warnings give specific details of the potential risk present and indicate how to reduce risk of injury, damage and electric shock resulting from improper use of the appliance. Carefully observe the following instructions: The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any installation work. Installation and maintenance must be carried out by a qualified technician, in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and local safety regulations. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual. Regulations require that the appliance is earthed. The power cable must be long enough for connecting the appliance, once fitted in its housing, to the power supply socket. For installation to comply with current safety regulations, an all-pole disconnect switch with minimum contact gap of 3 mm must be utilized. Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads. Do not pull the power supply cable in order to unplug the appliance. The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation. Do not touch the appliance with any wet part of the body and do not operate it when barefoot. This appliance is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance for cooking food. No other type of use is permitted (e.g.: heating rooms). The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate use or incorrect setting of the controls. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with any physical, sensory or mental impairment, or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed in its use by those responsible for their safety. The accessible parts of the appliance may become very hot during use. Young children should be kept away from the appliance and supervised to ensure that they do not play with it. During and after use, do not touch the heating elements or interior surfaces of the appliance - risk of burns. Do not allow the appliance to come into contact with cloths or other flammable materials until all the components have cooled sufficiently. At the end of cooking, exercise caution when opening the appliance door, letting the hot air or steam exit gradually before accessing the oven. When the appliance door is shut, hot air is vented from the aperture above the control panel. Do not obstruct the vent apertures. Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, taking care not to touch the heating elements. Do not place flammable materials in or near the appliance: a fire may break out if the appliance is inadvertently switched on. Do not heat or cook sealed jars or containers in the appliance. The pressure that builds up inside might cause the jar to explode, damaging the appliance. Do not use containers made of synthetic materials. Overheated oils and fats catch fire easily. Always remain vigilant when cooking foods rich in fat and oil. Never leave the appliance unattended during food drying. If alcoholic beverages are used when cooking foods (e.g. rum, cognac, wine), remember that alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. As a result, there is a risk that vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical heating element.

RECOMMENDED USE AND TIPS How to read the cooking table The table indicates the best function to use for any given food, to be cooked on one or more shelves at the same time. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding pre-heating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are purely for guidance and will depend on the amount of food and type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended values to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then move on to higher values. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark coloured metal cake tins and oven trays. You can also use pans and accessories in pyrex or stoneware, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer. To obtain best results, carefully follow the advice given in the cooking table for the choice of accessories (supplied) to be placed on the various shelves.

Cooking different foods at the same time Using the “FORCED AIR” function, you can cook different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), using different shelves. Remove the food which requires less cooking time and leave food which requires longer cooking time in the oven.

Cook delicate desserts with the conventional function on one shelf only. Use dark coloured metal cake tins and always position them on the wire shelf supplied. To cook on more than one shelf, select the forced air function and stagger the position of the cake tins on the shelves, aiding optimum circulation of the hot air. To check whether a raising cake is cooked, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. If using non-stick cake tins, do not butter the edges as the cake may not rise evenly around the edges. If the cake “sinks” during cooking, set a lower temperature the next time, perhaps reducing the amount of liquid in the mixture and mixing more gently. For sweets with moist fillings (cheesecake or fruit pies) use the “CONVECTION BAKE” function”. If the base of the cake is soggy, lower the shelf and sprinkle the bottom of the cake with breadcrumbs or biscuit crumbs before adding the filling.

Use any kind of oven tray or pyrex dish suited to the size of the piece of meat being cooked. For roast joints, it is best to add some stock to the bottom of the pan, basting the meat during cooking for added flavour. When the roast is ready, let it rest in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or wrap it in aluminium foil. When you want to grill meat, choose cuts with an even thickness all over in order to achieve uniform cooking results. Very thick pieces of meat require longer cooking times. To prevent the meat from burning on the outside, lower the position of the wire shelf, keeping the food farther away from the grill. Turn the meat two thirds of the way through cooking. To collect the cooking juices it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water directly under the grill on which the meat is placed. Top-up when necessary.

Turnspit (if present) Use this accessory to evenly roast large pieces of meat and poultry. Place the meat on the spit rod, tying it with string if chicken, and check that it is secure before inserting the rod in the seat located on the front wall of the oven and resting it on the respective support. To prevent smoke and to collect cooking juices, it is advisable to place a drip-tray with half a litre of water on the first level. The rod has a plastic handle which must be removed before starting to cook, and used at the end of cooking to avoid burns when taking the food out of the oven.

Pizza Lightly grease the trays to ensure the pizza has a crispy base. Scatter the mozzarella over the pizza two thirds of the way through cooking.
