06 GB SELF-CLEANING OVEN WITH CATALYTIC CLEANING THE DOOR GLASS Special self-cleaning panels covered in a micro-porous coating are available as optional extras for all models. If they are fitted, the oven no longer needs to be cleaned by hand.
The fat that is splattered onto the sides of the oven during roasting is eliminated by the microporous coating which breaks the fat down by catalysis and transforms it into gas. Excessive splattering may nevertheless block the pores and therefore hinder self-cleaning. The self-cleaning capacity may be restored by switching on the empty oven to maximum for about 10-20 minutes. Do not use abrasive products, metal cleaning wads, sharp objects, rough cloths, or chemical products and detergents that may permanently damage the catalytic lining. It is a good idea to use deep roasting trays to roast fatty foods such as joints of meat etc. and to put a tray underneath the grill to catch surplus fat.If the walls of the oven are so thickly coated in grease that the catalytic lining is no longer effective remove surplus grease with a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water. The lining must be porous for self-cleaning to be effective.
Internal door glass of this oven can be removed and cleaned.
In order to clean the internal glass follow these instructions;
• Open the door of the oven.
• Lock the hinges as shown in Picture
2 before starting the cleaning operation. Unlock the hinges when the cleaning operation is finished. (Picture 2)
N.B.: All catalytic linings currently on the market have a working life of about 300 hours. They should therefore be replaced after about 300 hours.
OVEN LIGHTING Disconnect the power supply from the oven before cleaning or replacing the lamp. The bulb and its cover are made of material resistant to high temperatures.
• Remove the screws as shown in
• Remove the top metallic cover by pulling it upwards. (Picture 4

4.5 HOW TO USE THE OVEN
• COOKING MODE All cooking should be carried out with the door closed.
It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the meat to spatter fat. This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke.
BOTTOM + FAN - The combination of the bottom heating element and fan is ideal for fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pastries. It prevents food from becoming too dry and encourages bread dough to rise. Place the shelf in the bottom position in the oven.
Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven cold. The cooking time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks through to the centre better as the heat has more time to penetrate the joint.
Correct preheating is the basis of successful red meat cookery.
BOTTOM - Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry based dishes. Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pâté and any cooking that needs more heat from below.
• Before loading the grill: Remove the meat from the refrigerator a few hours before grilling. Lay it on several layers of kitchen paper. This improves seizing, making it tastier and avoids it staying cold at the centre. Add pepper and spices to the meat before grilling, but add any salt after cooking. This way it will seize better and stay juicy. Baste all the food to be cooked with a little oil. This is best done with a wide flat basting brush.Then sprinkle with more pepper and herbs (thyme, etc.). • During cooking: Never pierce the food during cooking even when you turn it. This lets the juice out and it becomes dry.
BOTTOM + TOP - Both top and bottom heating elements are in use. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking.When cooking red meat, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread or foil wrapped foods.
BOTTOM + TOP + FAN - Both top and bottom heating elements are used in conjunction with the fan, which circulates hot air throughout the oven.We recommend this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables. By using this method better heat penetration is achieved and cooking and preheating times are also reduced. The fan cooking option allows you to cook different foods together at different positions in the oven all at the same time, providing even heat distribution but without the risk of mingling tastes and smells. When cooking different foods at the same time allow a further 10 minutes.
BAKING Avoid using shiny tins, they reflect the heat and can spoil your cakes. If your cakes brown too quickly, cover them with greaseproof paper or aluminium foil.
Caution: The correct way to use foil is with the shiny side in towards the cake. If not the heat is reflected by the shiny surface and does not penetrate the food. Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of cooking: Soufflés, brioches, sponge cakes, etc. will tend to fall.You can check if cakes are done by pricking the centre with a knife blade or metal knitting needle. If the blade comes out nice and dry, your cake is ready and you can stop cooking. If the blade comes out moist or with bits of cake attached, continue baking but slightly lower the thermostat so that it is finished off without burning.
CIRCULAR HEATING ELEMENT + FAN - Air that has been heated is blown by the fan onto the different levels. It is ideal for cooking different types of food at the same time (e.g. Meet and fish) without mixing tastes and smell. It cooks very gently and is ideal for sponge cakes, pastries, etc.
GRILL - Using the top heating element. Success is guaranteed for mixed grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. The grill should be pre-heated to a high temperature for 5 minutes. White meats should always be placed at some distance from the grill element, the cooking time is slightly longer but the meat will be more succulent. Red meat and fish fillets can be placed directly onto the shelf with the drip tray placed beneath on lower shelf position.
5. SERVICE CENTRE Before calling the Service Centre.
If the oven is not working, we recommend that: •Check that, if the oven is properly plugged into the power supply. If the cause of the fault cannot be detected: •Disconnect the oven from the mains, do not touch the oven and call the after sales service. Before calling the Service Centre remember to make a note of the serial number on the serial number specifications plate. The oven is supplied with a guarantee certificate that ensures that it will be repaired free of charge by the Service Centre whilst under guarantee.
GRILL + FAN - The top heating element is used in conjunction with the fan which circulates the hot air around the oven. Pre heating is recommended for red meats but is not necessary for white meats.
Grilling is ideal for cooking thicker food items such as pork or poultry. Food to be grilled should be placed directly at the centre of the middle shelf. By sliding the drip tray underneath the shelf it will ensure that any juices are collected. For best results always make sure that the food is not too close to the grill element and turn the food over half way through the cooking time.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be reused). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules: • WEEE shall not be treated as household waste. • WEEE shall be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present. • When you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.
GRILL + TURNSPIT + FAN - The advantage of using the top oven element at the same time as the fan and rotisserie is that the food is evenly cooked, preventing it from becoming dry and tasteless. The rotisserie is programmed to continue rotating for approximately five minutes after cooking, making full use of the residual oven heat.No preheating is required for rotisserie cooking.
DEFROST - When the dial is set to this position. The fan circulates hot air around the frozen food so that it defrosts in a few minutes without the protein content of the food being changed or altered. The temperature is preset in 40°C constant, no regulation is possible. KEEP WARM - This is recommended to reheat precooked foodstuff, positioning the shelf on the second level from top, or to defrost bread pizza or pastry by positioning the shelf on the lower level. The temperature is preset in 60°C constant, no regulation is possible. PIZZA - With this function hot air circulated in the oven to ensure perfect result for dishes such as pizza or cake.
ENERGY SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as infrequently as possible, because heat from the cavity disperses every time it is opened. For a significant energy saving, switch off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the planned end of the cooking time, and use the residual heat that the oven continues to generate. Keep the seals clean and in order, to avoid any heat dispersal outside of the cavity. If you have an electric contract with an hourly tariff, the "delayed cooking" programme makes energy saving more simple, moving the cooking process to start at the reduced tariff time slot.
SOFT COOK - Soft cook is the function for the confectionery and the bread. Thanks to its reduced fan speed, this function increases oven internal damp. The increased damp creates the ideal conditions of cooking for those foods that need to maintain an elastic consistence while they are cooking (ex. cakes, bread, biscuits) avoiding surface breakages.
* Tested in accordance with the CENELEC EN 60350-1 used for definition of energy class.
