Water filling 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 (approximately 4 cups/ 1L) and introduce it into the slot located above the cavity. If the indication “rES” appears, it means that the water tank was not properly inserted.

Water level indication The water tank level is indicated in four levels: “-L0-“ 0%-20% “-L1-“20%-60% “-L2-“60%-100% These indications are shown in the leftmost display. Remark: To fill up take the water tank completely off. Wait approximately > 20seconds before reinstate the full water tank. 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 this is signalled by the message “- L0 -” meaning that the water tank is empty. Warning! Only fill the water tank up to a maximum of 2 cups to ensure that the water does not overflow when it is pumped back to the water tank. RISK OF OVERFLOW. Water tank message When the water tank is removed or misplaced, the Water Level display shows the message “RES”. To clear the message, correctly insert the water tank. 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 167º F 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.18

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

To restart the process, close the door and press the Start key. Altering parameters The operating parameters (time and temperature) can only be altered 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. 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 “PUMP” (you might hear the pumps during this process, because they will be pulling the water back into the water tank). 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.19

When the oven is working... 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. 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.20

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.

To remove the rack, lift it upwards slightly at the front when the safety notches connect with the sides of the oven (see illustration).

We recommend using the rack together with the baking tray when cooking items on the rack which might drip.21

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, Jena glass 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

level. One example: Vegetables, potatoes and fish. Place the vegetables and potatoes in any suitable container on the rack inserted in the 2

level. Insert the fish in the 1

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.24

Cooking with the grill For good results with the grill, use the grid iron supplied with the oven. IMPORTANT POINTS:

1. When the grill is used for the first time there will

be some smoke and a smell coming from the oils used during oven manufacture.

2. The oven door window becomes very hot when

the grill is working. Keep children away.

3. When the grill is operating, the cavity walls and

the grid iron become very hot. You should use oven gloves.

4. If the grill is used for extended period of time it is

normal to find that the elements will switch themselves off temporarily due to the safety thermostat.

5. When the grill is used it is possible that some

splashes of fat may go onto the elements and be burnt. This is a normal situation and does not mean there is any kind of operating fault.

6. After you have finished cooking, clean the

interior and the accessories so that cooking remains do not become encrusted. Type of food Quantity Time (min.) Instructions Fish Bass Sardines/gurnard

6-8 fish. 18-24 15-20 Spread lightly with butter. After half of cooking time turn and spread with seasoning. Meat Sausages 6-8 units 22-26 Prick after half cooking time and turn. Frozen hamburgers 3 units 18-20

Spare rib (approx. 3 cm thick)

25-30 After half of cooking time, baste and turn. Others Toast 4 units 1½-3 Watch toasting. Toasted sandwiches 2 units 5-10 Watch toasting.

Heat up the grill beforehand for 2 minutes. Unless indicated otherwise, use the grid iron. Place the grid on a bowl so that the water and the fat can drop. The times shown are merely indicative and can vary as a function of the composition and quantity of the food, as well as the final condition wished for. Fish and meat taste great if, before grilling, you brush them with vegetable oil, spices and herbs and leave to marinate for a few hours. Only add salt after grilling. Sausages will not burst if you prick them with a fork before grilling. After half the grilling time has passed, check on how the cooking is going and, if necessary, turn the food over. The grill is especially suitable for cooking thin portions of meat and fish. Thin portions of meat only need to be turned once, but thicker portions should be turned several times.25

Advice for roasting meat Turn the pieces of meat halfway through the cooking time. When the roasted meat is ready you should let it stand for 10 minutes in the oven with this switched off and closed. This will ensure the juices in the meat are well distributed. Add 2 to 3 soup spoons of gravy or similar liquid to lean meat and 8 to 10 soup spoons to stews, depending on the amount of meat in question. The roasting temperature and time required depends on the type and amount of meat being cooked. If the weight of the meat to be roasted does not appear on the table choose the settings for the weight immediately below and extend the cooking times. Advice on ovenware Check that the ovenware fits inside the oven. Hot glass containers should be put on a dry kitchen cloth. If such containers are put on a cold or wet surface the glass may crack and break. Use oven gloves to take the ovenware out of the oven.

Advice on cake baking ware The most commonly used type of baking ware is black metal tins. Advice on how to bake cakes Different amounts and types of pastry require different temperatures and baking times. Try low settings first of all and then, if necessary, use higher temperatures next time. A lower temperature will result in more uniform baking. Always put the cake tray in the centre of the turntable. Baking suggestions How to check if the cake is properly cooked Start sticking a tooth pick in the highest part of the cake 10 minutes before the end of the baking time. When no dough sticks to the tooth pick the cake is ready. If the cake is very dark on the outside Next time choose a lower temperature and let the cake bake for a longer time. If the cake is very dry Make small holes in the cake with a tooth pick after baking has finished. Then sprinkle the cake with some fruit juice or alcoholic drink. Next time increase the temperature by about 10º and reduce the baking time. If the cake does not come free when turned Let the cake cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after baking and it will come out of the tin more easily. If the cake still does not come free run a knife carefully around the edges. Next time grease the cake tin well.26

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

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

2. Insert 2 pins inside the holes in the hinges.

3. Close the appliance door just enough that it can

4. To reassemble, push the hinges into the holes

Care and maintenance Descaling 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 descaling 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 hardness Descale after about Very soft 18 months Medium 9 months Very hard 6 months The appliance automatically detects when descaling 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 descaling solutions For descaling, use and adequate descaling solution. Warning! Do not use vinegar or vinegar-based products as they can cause damage to the oven’s internal circuit. Traditional descaling solutions are not appropriate because they can contain foaming agents.28

Care and maintenance Descaling procedure

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. If the microwave is not kept clean its surfaces may deteriorate, reducing the oven’s working life and possibly resulting in a dangerous situation. 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. For your safety, never turn on the oven if the back panel that covers the fan is not in place. 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 non- aggressive 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. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. 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.30

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 G9 230V/25W halogen bulb. Follow the lamp manufacturer’s instructions. - Screw the glass light cover into place (1). - Connect the oven again to the power supply.31

Technical characteristics Specifications

Installation instructions Before installation Check that the input voltage indicated on the rating plate is the same as the voltage of the power outlet you are going to use. The rating plate is located on the front part of the cavity and it is only visible after opening the door. If required by the National Electrical Code (or Canadian Electrical Code), this appliance must be installed on a separate branch circuit. Installer – show the owner the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference. Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel. Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned ON accidentally. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Installation, electrical connections and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. Open the oven door and take out all the accessories and remove the packing material. Warning! The front surface of the oven may be wrapped with a protective film. Before using the oven for the first time, carefully remove this film, starting on the inside. Make sure that the oven is not damaged in any way. Check that the oven door closes correctly and that the interior of the door and the front of the oven opening are not damaged. If you find any damage contact the Technical Assistance Service. DO NOT USE THE OVEN if the metal conduit is damaged, if the oven does not function correctly or if it has been damaged or dropped. Contact the Technical Assistance Service. Place the oven on a flat and stable surface. The oven must not be put close to any sources of heat, radios or televisions. Electrical supply Before installing the oven have a qualified electrician verify that your home is provided with adequate electrical service and that the addition of the oven will not overload the branch circuit on which it is to be installed. A separate three-wire or four-wire single phase, 240 Volt, 60 Hz, branch circuit is required. For hook-up of the oven you will need to have an approved junction box installed where it will be easily reached through the front of the cabinet where the oven will be located. The oven has 3 feet of conduit. Allow two to three feet of slack in the line so that the oven can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. DO NOT shorten the flexible conduit. Wiring requirements When making the wire connections, use the entire length of the conduit provided (3 feet). The conduit must not be cut. Before making connections make sure the power is off and read and observe the following:
