Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.

FITTING THE SLIDING RUNNERS (IF PRESENT)

Remove the shelf guides from the oven and remove the protective plastic from the sliding runners. Fasten the upper clip of the runner to the shelf guide and slide it along as far as it will go. Lower the other clip into position. To secure the guide, press the lower portion of the clip firmly against the shelf guide. Make sure that the runners can move freely.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

.HEAT THE OVEN

A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal. Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odours.

Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it.

Heat the oven to 250^ for about one hour, preferably using the "Convection bake" function. The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.

Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

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 a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use steam cleaners.

Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

Wear protective gloves. The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.

• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, let the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.

• Activate the "Diamond Clean" function for optimum cleaning of the internal surfaces. (If present).

• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.

• The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.

ACCESSIONS

• Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS

(ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

This oven could be equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-cleaning coating, which is highly porous and able to absorb grease and grime. These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: When repositioning and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.

To make best use of the catalytic panels' self-cleaning properties, we recommend heating the oven to 200^ for around one hour using the "Convection Bake" function. The oven must be empty during this time. Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food residues using a non-abrasive sponge.

Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes, pan scourers or oven sprays could damage the catalytic surface and compromise its self-cleaning properties. Please contact our After-sales Service if you require replacement panels.

REPLACING THE LAMP

1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
2. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.
3. Reconnect the oven to the power supply.

Please note: Only use 20-40 W/230 ~ V type G9, T300°C halogen bulbs. The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.

• If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover has been refitted.

LOWER THE TOP HEATING ELEMENT (ONLY IN SOME MODELS)

1. Remove the lateral shelf guides.

1. Pull the heating element out a little and lower it.

1. To reposition the heating element, lift it up, pulling it slightly towards you, making sure it comes to rest on the lateral supports.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

1. To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position.

1. Close the door as much as you can.

Take a firm hold of the door with both hands - do not hold it by the handle.

Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards at the same time until it is released from its seating. Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.

1. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.
2. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them down completely.

Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position (only in some models).

1. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above: The door could become damaged if it does not work properly.
