Water feeding

Filling the water tank

All functions require the water tank to be full.

Fill the water tank up to the "MAX" mark with cold, fresh drinking water and introduce it into the slot located above the cavity (approximately 1L).

If the indication "rES" appears, it means that the water tank was not properly inserted.

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Filling the water tank - 1

Refilling the water

The contents of the water tank normally suffice for one cooking session of 50-60 minutes.

If, however, the water tank needs to be refilled, the Water refill light switches on.

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Refilling the water - 1

Only fill the water tank up to a maximum of 0.5 litres to ensure that the water does not

overflow when it is pumped back to the water tank. RISK OF OVERFLOW.

Emptying the water tank

When the appliance is switched off, the residual water is pumped back into the water tank.

While the water is being pumped the display shows "PUMP".

This message stays on until the temperature of the water reaches 75^ before it can be pumped back to the water tank.

Warning: the water in the tank may be hot. Danger of burns!

After the water is pumped back to the water tank, the display will show the message "DEP" requiring the following actions:

  1. Remove and empty the water tank.
  2. Dry the water tank and introduce it back into the slot located above the cavity. Clean and dry the cooking space.
  3. Leave the appliance door open so that the cooking space can cool down and dry completely.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is advisable to remove the water tank and empty it after a cooking cycle. This prevents the formation of bacteria and limestone inside the appliance.

If the water tank has not been removed from the oven and a new cooking cycle is started, the oven displays the warning "DEP".

This warning can be cleared by pressing the Stop key and proceed with the new cooking cycle without removing and emptying the water tank.

EN When the oven is working...

Interrupting a cooking cycle

You can stop the cooking process at any time by pressing the Stop key once.

The oven incorporates a steam-reduction function that is activated when the Stop key is pressed to gradually release the steam from the cavity, so that there is no sudden rush of steam when the appliance door is opened.

This function takes around 3 minutes and during it the display shows the word "VAP".

Warning! When opening the door during or upon completion of the cooking cycle, be careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back or to the side to avoid burns.

At this point:

  • The steam generation is interrupted.
  • The cavity walls and the water tank are still very hot. Danger of burning!
  • The timer stops and the display shows the remaining operating time (if this has been set).

If you wish, at this point you can:

  1. Turn or stir the food to ensure it will be evenly cooked.
  2. Change the cooking parameters.

To restart the process, close the door and press the Start key.

Altering parameters

The operating parameters (time and temperature) can be altered when the oven is operating or when the cooking process has been interrupted by proceeding as follows:

  1. To alter the time, press "+" and "-" keys. The new time defined is immediately valid.
  2. To alter the temperature, press the Temperature Selection key and the display and respective light start to flash. Alter the parameter by pressing the "+" and "-" keys and confirm by pressing the Temperature Selection key again.

Cancelling a cooking cycle

If you wish to cancel the cooking process, press the Stop key twice.

You will then hear 3 beeps and the message "End" will appear on the display.

When the oven is working…

End of a cooking cycle

At the end of the set duration or when you press the Stop key to finish the cooking cycle the oven starts the steam-reduction function.

This function gradually releases the steam from the cavity, so that there is no sudden rush of steam when the appliance door is opened.

This function takes around 3 minutes and during it the display shows the word "VAP".

At the end of this process you will hear three beeps and the display will show the word "End".

Warning! When opening the door during or upon completion of the cooking cycle, be careful of the flow of hot air and/or steam coming out of the cooking chamber. Step back or to the side to avoid burns.

The beeps are repeated every 30 seconds until the door is opened or the Stop key is pressed.

The cooling fan can continue to run for a certain length of time after the appliance has been switched off. This is a normal function that is meant to reduce the temperature inside the oven.

When the display shows the word "DEP", this means that the water was pumped and that the water tank can be removed.

Remove the water tank and dry it thoroughly. Let the cooking space cool down for a moment and then clean

and dry it with a cloth. The door should be left open for some time so that the appliance can dry completely.

Steam Flow

It is normal to have an intermittent steam flow, coming out from the oven front.

This is especially noticeable in winter time or in high moisture environments.

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Steam Flow - 1

Residual water in the oven

To reduce the residual water in the oven, it is recommended to insert a tray in the bottom rack level. The condensation released from the food begins to drip on the tray. The remaining residual water can be easily dried with a cloth.

EN Usage, tables and tips

Use of accessories

The perforated container is suitable for cooking fresh or deep frozen vegetables, meat and poultry. In this case it is important that the non-perforated container is introduced into the first level. This way, dripping liquids are collected and the appliance does not get dirty. The perforated container with the food should be inserted into the second level.

The non-perforated container is used to steam sensitive foods, e.g. compotes and dumplings.

The rack is used when cooking with small containers, as for example, dessert bowls and to regenerate plate dishes.

For more precise information refer to the tables.

The suggested times and temperatures are guideline values. The actual cooking time can vary according to the type and quality of the foods.

Two level cooking

Some suggestions:

When cooking with two levels the grill always belongs to the 2nd or 3rd level of insertion from the bottom to the top.

This way the usual vessels of porcelain, Jenaglass or of stainless steel can be put inside the oven.

The container of cooking perforated or not, will be inserted in the 1st level from the bottom. It can also be cooked with two grills.

Different cooking times are controlled this way:

Foods that need a longer cooking time should be placed in the upper area of the oven. Foods with a shorter cooking time should be placed on the 1^st level.

One example: Vegetables, potatoes and fish.

Place the vegetables and potatoes in any suitable container on the rack inserted in the 2 nd or 3^rd level.

Insert the fish in the 1^st level.

When using the perforated tray to cook fish, the non-perforated tray must be inserted in the bottom of the appliance to collect liquid dripping from the fish. This way the appliance is kept clean.

Time: Vegetables and potatoes 25-35 Min.

Time: Fish - depending on type - 15-25 Min.

Select the longest cooking time. Because of the different levels the food is ready at the same time, without any over cooking.

Care and maintenance

Cleaning the cooking space

Avoid using abrasive cleaners such as scouring pads, steel wool, etc. as they can damage the surface.

Wipe the cooking space clean using a damp cloth whilst the appliance is still warm. Finish off by drying the cooking space.

For ease of cleaning, the shelf guides can be removed (see the following chapter).

Removing the shelf guides

Unscrew and remove the knurled nuts 1 in the front of the shelf guides in an anti-clockwise direction.

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Removing the shelf guides - 1

Unscrew and loosen the knurled nuts 2 in the back of the shelf guides in an anti-clockwise direction. Do not completely remove these nuts.

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Removing the shelf guides - 2

Pull the shelf guides to the inside of the cavity and remove from the front.

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Removing the shelf guides - 3

To put them back, insert the shelf guides into the knurled nuts 2 in the back and position on the screws in the front. Screw the knurled nuts 1 and 2 in a clockwise direction till tight.

EN Care and maintenance

Removing the appliance door

  1. Open the appliance door as far as it will go.

  1. To reassemble, push the hinges into the holes from the front.

  2. Open the appliance door as far as it will go and remove the pins.

Care and maintenance

Dscaling

Whenever steam is produced, irrespective of the hardness of the local water supply (i.e. the limescale content of the water), limescale is deposited inside the steam generator.

The time interval between descending depends on the hardness of the water and frequency of use. If steaming 4 × 30 minutes per week, the appliance must be descaled (depending on water hardness) roughly as follows:

Water hardnessDescale after about
Very soft18 months
Medium9 months
Very hard6 months

The appliance automatically detects when descending is necessary and when this happens the Descale light stays on. If the Descaling procedure is not performed, some cooking cycles after the Descale light starts to flash. If once again the Descaling procedure is not performed, some cooking cycles after the oven functioning is blocked, the Descale light stays on and the display shows "CAL" blinking.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Failure to descale the appliance will likely impair the functioning of or cause damage to the appliance.

Suitable descending solutions

For descending, use the descending solution "durgol". This solution allows a professional and careful descending of your appliance. Available at Customer Care Centres.

Warning! Do not use vinegar or vinegar-based products as they can cause damage to the oven's internal circuit.

Traditional descending solutions are not appropriate because they can contain foaming agents.

EN Care and maintenance

Dscaling procedure

BERTAZZONI F45CONVAPX - Dscaling procedure - 1

Warning: For safety reasons, the descending process cannot be interrupted.

The appliance can be descaled with the appliance door open or closed. The appliance must be in idle state prior to starting the descending cycle.

To run a descending cycle proceed as follows:

  1. Press the Descale and the Clock/Duration key at the same time. The display shows "CAL" and there is an intermittent beep.
  2. Press the Start key.
  3. When the display shows "0.5L", remove the water tank.
  4. Pour 0.5 litres of an adequate descaling solution into the water tank and put the water tank back.
  5. Press the Start key. The Descale cycle is initiated and takes about 30 minutes.

  6. When the Descale display shows "1.0L" flashing and the oven emits a beep, remove and empty the water tank.

  7. Fill the water tank with 1.0 litres of cold water and put the water tank back.
  8. Press the Start key. The first rinsing cycle starts.
  9. When the Descale display shows again "1.0L" flashing and the oven emits a new beep, remove and empty the water tank.
  10. Fill the water tank with 1.0 litres of cold water and put the water tank back.
  11. Press the Start key. The second rinsing cycle starts.
  12. When the rinsing cycle has finished the display shows "End".
  13. Remove, empty and dry the water tank.

Oven cleaning

Warning! Cleaning should be done with the oven power switched off. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven's power circuit.

Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning products, scourers that scratch surfaces or sharp objects, since stains may appear.

Do not use high pressure or steam jet cleaning appliances.

Front surface

Normally you just need to clean the oven with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to the cleaning water. Afterwards, wipe the oven with a dry cloth.

In an oven with an aluminium front, use a mild glass cleaning product and a soft cloth that does not release any fibres or threads. Wipe from side to side without exerting any pressure on the surface.

Immediately remove limescale, fat, starch or egg white stains. Corrosion can occur under these stains.

Do not let any water get inside the oven.

Oven interior

After use, remove any water on the bottom of the cooking space with a soft cloth. Leave the appliance door open so that the cooking space can cool down.

To remove dirt that is harder to shift, use a nonaggressive cleaning product. Do not use oven sprays or other aggressive or abrasive cleaning products.

Always keep the door and the oven front very clean to ensure that the door opens and closes properly.

Make sure water does not enter the oven ventilation holes.

The glass lamp cover is located on the oven ceiling and can be removed easily for cleaning. For this you just need to unscrew it and clean it with water and dishwashing liquid.

Accessories

Clean the accessories after each use. If they are very dirty, soak them first of all and then use a brush and sponge. The accessories can be washed in a dish washing machine.

EN What should I do if the oven doesn't work?

WARNING! Any type of repair must only be done by a specialised technician. Any repair done by a person not authorised by the manufacturer is dangerous.

You do not need to contact Technical Assistance to resolve the following questions:

  • The display is not showing! Check if:
  • The time indication has been switched off (see section on Basic Settings).
  • Nothing happens when I press the keys! Check if:
  • The Safety Block is active (see section on Basic Settings).
  • The oven does not work! Check if:
  • The plug is correctly fitted in the socket.
  • The oven's power is switched on.
  • When the oven is operating I can hear some strange noises! This is not a problem.
  • It has to do with the operating noises that can occur during the cooking process, e.g., by the water pumps in the steam generator.
  • The steam inside the cavity produces a pressure build-up and sometimes the cavity walls may produce noise when they react to the pressure.
  • This noises are normal, there is no problem.
  • The food doesn't heat up or heats very slowly! Check if:
  • You have selected the correct operating times and temperature setting.
  • The food you have put inside the oven is a larger amount or colder than you usually put in.
  • If the message "Err_" appears in the display, please contact the Customer Care.

  • The appliance still makes a noise after the cooking process is finished! This is not a problem.

  • The cooling fan keeps on working for some time. When the temperature has dropped sufficiently, the fan will switch itself off.
  • The oven switches on but the interior light does not go on!
  • If all the functions work properly it is probable that the lamp has blown. You can keep on using the oven.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the light bulb, proceed as follows:

  • Disconnect the oven from the power supply. Take the plug out of the socket or switch off the oven's power circuit.
  • Unscrew and remove the glass light cover (1).
  • Remove the light bulb (2). Warning! The bulb may be very hot.
  • Fit a new E14 230-240V/15W bulb. Follow the lamp manufacturer's instructions.
  • Screw the glass light cover into place (1).
  • Connect the oven again to the power supply.
