Start-up and use ! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away. ! Before operating the product, remove all plastic film from the sides of the appliance. Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob. A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see Oven cooking advice table). During cooking it is always possible to:
- Change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
- Change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
- Set the total cooking time and the cooking end time (see below).
- Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position. ! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when cooking with the rotisserie spit. ! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided. THERMOSTAT indicator light When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the temperature at a constant level. Oven light This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting
, with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated. ! When inserting the shelf make sure the backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see image).18
Only available in certain models. Cooking modes ! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and Max, except for the following modes
- GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level).
- FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL (recommended: do not exceed 200°C). DEFROSTING mode The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.
STATIC OVEN mode Both the top and bottom heating elements will be activated. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use only one rack at a time, otherwise the heat will not be distributed evenly. FAN OVEN mode The top and bottom heating elements will switch on and the fan will begin to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
GRILL mode The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.
DOUBLE GRILL mode The top heating element and the rotisserie spit will be activated. This provides a larger grill than the normal grill setting and has an innovative design that improves cooking efficiency by 50% and eliminates the cooler corner areas. Use this grilling mode to achieve a uniform browning on top of the food. FAN ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL mode The top heating element and the turnspit are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This prevents the food from burning on top by enabling heat to penetrate into the food more effectively; it is therefore an ideal way of cooking food quickly under the grill or for grilling large pieces of meat without having to use the turnspit. ! The GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut. ! When using the GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/ or grease). When using the FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues. Electronic timer This function displays the time and works as a timer which counts down to zero. ! All functions will be implemented approximately 7 seconds after they have been set. Resetting the clock After the appliance has been connected to the power supply, or after a power cut, the clock display will begin to blink, showing the figure: 0:00
to set the exact time. Press and hold the buttons to quicken the count upwards. Any necessary modifications can be made by repeating the above process.GB
Timer* To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction for
almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction
to set the desired length of time. Rotisserie To operate the rotisserie (see diagram) proceed as follows:
1. Place the dripping
support in position 4 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.
3. Activate the rotisserie
by selecting with the SELECTOR knob. Lower compartment* There is a compartment underneath the oven that may be used to store oven accessories or deep dishes. To open the door pull it downwards (see gure). ! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven compartment. ! The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may become hot.
Only available in certain models. Cooking on several shelves simultaneously If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN OVEN cooking mode , as this is the only cooking mode suited to this type of cooking. We also recommend that:
- Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
- Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that requires more heat is placed on the rack in position
- When cooking foods that require different cooking times and temperatures, set a temperature that is halfway between the two recommended temperatures (see Oven cooking advice table) and place the more delicate food on the rack in position
4. Remove the food that requires a shorter cooking
- When cooking pizzas on several racks with the temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated for 15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on the rack in position 4 takes longer: we recommend that the pizza cooked on the lowest rack position is removed first, followed by the pizza cooked in position 4 a few minutes later.
- Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top. Timer feature This function may be accessed by pressing the
button, after which the display will show the symbol . Every time the
button is pressed it corresponds to a time increase of 10 seconds, until it reaches 99 minutes and 50 seconds. After this point, each press of the button represents an increase of one minute, up to a maximum of 10 hours. Pressing the
button reduces the time. After the time period has been set, the timer will begin to count down. When the timer reaches zero, the buzzer will sound (this may be stopped by pressing any button). The time may be displayed by pressing the
symbol indicates that the timer function has been set. After approximately 7 seconds, the display will automatically revert to the timer.20

Using the glass ceramic hob ! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special non- abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. Switching the cooking zones on and off To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction. To switch it off again, turn the knob in an anticlockwise direction until it is in the “0” position. If the ELECTRIC HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit, this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is switched on. Cooking zones The hob is equipped with electric radiant heating elements. When they are in use the following items on the hob become red. A. The cooking zone. B. The residual heat indicator light: this indicates that the temperature of the corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C, even when the heating element has been switched off but is still hot. Cooking zones with radiant heating elements They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to actually see the power they are providing. Turn the corresponding knob in a clockwise direction, to a position between 1 and 6. Practical advice on using the hob
- Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
- Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the heat produced.
- Always make sure that the base of the pan is completely clean and dry: this ensures that the pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and that both the pans and the hob last for a longer period of time.
- Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may have warped the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
- Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone to become damaged.

- When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
- Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
- If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact Assistance.
- Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door. Disposal
- When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
- The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product. All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances. Respecting and conserving the environment
- You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning.
- Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL modes: This will achieve better results while saving energy (approximately 10%).
- Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.GB
Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. ! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. Cleaning the oven
- The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.
- The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.
- The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
- Dirt and grease should be removed from the control panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth. Inspecting the oven seals Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After- sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced. Replacing the oven light bulb
1. After disconnecting the oven from the electricity mains,
remove the glass lid covering the lamp socket (see gure).
2. Remove the light bulb and replace
it with a similar one: voltage 230 V, wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
3. Replace the lid and reconnect the
oven to the electricity supply. Cleaning the glass ceramic hob ! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.
- It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
- If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
- To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper (this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
- If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally been melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
- Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
- Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes. Cleaning stainless steel Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus. We recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed well then dried thoroughly. Assistance Please have the following information handy:
- The appliance model (Mod.).
- The serial number (S/N). This information can be found on the data plate located on the appliance and/or on the packaging.

Catalitic Cleaning* In some models, the most exposed internal vertical sides of the oven are coated with porous enamel, which is called catalytic enamel. When heated, this enamel destroys fat particles given off by the food. This „oxidation” of the fat particles occurs when the temperature of the sides exceeds 170°C. The porous quality of the catalytic enamel increases the surface area where the exchange vital to the oxidation of the fats takes place. If there is still grime on the catalytic surfaces after the cooking programme has ended, leave the empty oven on with the door shut, turning the temperature adjustment knob to its maximum setting. Leave the oven like this for a period of time between 60 and 90 minutes, according to how much dirt was left inside. The cleaning process for more stubborn food residues may be quickened by using hot water and a soft brush.
