INSTALLATION

• After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is intact; if in doubt, do not use it and call in qualified staff. Packaging components (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails, etc.) must not be left within reach of children since they are potentially hazardous; dispose of them in accordance with the current law.

Warning: any stickers or advertising leaflets applied to the door, or protective film, must be removed before the appliance is used.

• Before connecting the appliance, check that the voltage values marked on the nameplate are the same as those of the electrical mains, and that the power socket is properly earthed (the manufacturer declines all responsibility arising from failure to comply with this rule). If the appliance's plug is not compatible with the socket, have the socket replaced with another of suitable type by qualified staff, who must ensure that the socket's wire gauge is suitable for the appliance's power draw. Check that there are no other appliances drawing large amounts

of power on the electrical line, to avoid overloads and fire risks. In general, the use of adapters and/or extension leads is not recommended; if their use is unavoidable, they must comply with current safety regulations and their current rating (amps) must be no lower than the maximum current draw of the appliance.

• Before each use, check that the appliance is in good condition and ensure that the power cord is not damaged and do not switch it on unless certain it is intact: if in doubt, call in qualified staff.

• Place the appliance:

• well away from other heat sources (e.g. other ovens, gas hob, etc.), flammable materials (upholstery, etc.), explosive materials (spray cans) and materials which may warp in heat

• on a firm, horizontal worktop with a heat-resistance, sufficiently strong surface, in a position where it cannot be knocked, and far enough from the edge of the unit to ensure that it cannot fall off

• well away from containers holding liquids, such as sinks, etc. If it accidentally gets wet or is immersed in a liquid, first deactivate the power socket by turning off the switchboard switch, and only then remove the plug from the power socket at once, leave it to cool, dry it carefully and check that the electrical parts are not wet; if in doubt, call in qualified staff at a height of at least 85cm , out of reach of children

• Gaps of at least 35cm above the appliance, 10cm behind it and 20cm at its sides must be ensured.

• Never place anything on top of the oven and do not obstruct the ventilation grilles: obstructing the grilles may cause the appliance to overheat.
  The oven is not made for storing food.
• Make sure that the cable is correctly positioned and is not in contact with hot parts or sharp edges, or wound around the appliance or twisted, and does not become entangled, to prevent the appliance from falling. Check that no-one can trip over it, to avoid accidental falls or injuries.
• In case of a fault or malfunction, switch the appliance off and have it checked by qualified staff.

USE

The appliance has the following regulator devices:

Thermostat knob (1). This sets the temperature inside the oven (max 230^ approx.): turn the knob to the temperature value required and the heating elements will switch on, switching off when the set temperature is reached, and back on again when it decreases.

Selector knob (2). This selects the oven's cooking mode and operates the top and/or bottom heating elements or both.

In detail:

OFF

Heating elements: off

Bottom element: cooks foods mainly on the bottom + inside ventilation

Top + bottom element: uniform cooking + inside ventilation

Top element: cooks foods mainly on the top

Bottom element: cooks foods mainly on the bottom

Top + bottom element: uniform cooking

Timer knob (3). This sets the oven's operating time (max 60 minutes). Turn the knob clockwise to the time value required: when the set time ends, the oven switches off, the knob gradually returns to the "0" position (also sounding a beeper) and the internal fan and light also go out. To stop the cycle, simply turn the knob anticlockwise to the "0" setting. The oven will not come on with the knob turned to "0". To use the oven without the timer, turn the timer anticlockwise to the manual

position "t, to switch off the oven, turn the knob to "0" (off).

Internal light and signal lamp: they are always on when the oven is in function

The oven is also complete with the following accessories:

• handle (4) for the oven tray and shelf
• stainless steel shelf (5): fit into the runners at the appropriate height If the shelf is hot, use the handle provided or oven gloves when removing it.
  oven tray (6): fits into the runners; use the handle provided or oven gloves when removing the tray. If containers are used, ensure that they are heat-proof: do not use containers which may become misshapen, catch fire or contaminate foods.
• crumb tray (7): fit this underneath the bottom heating elements; if it is not fitted or incorrectly positioned, the worktop underneath will overheat. This tray collects crumbs or any overflows of liquids. Do not use the oven unless the crumb tray is in place.

First use

Operate the oven empty, to burn off the "new smell" and any oils left by the production process. Wash and dry the shelf, oven tray and crumb tray and fit them in place.

Connect the plug to the power socket and set:

the selector knob on " ", the thermostat knob on "230" and the timer knob on "20". If necessary, repeat this operation a second time. At the end of the operating cycle, before removing the accessories remove the plug from the power socket and wait for the oven to cool.

Use

For some foods, the oven should be preheated to the chosen temperature. Cooking times depend on the type and quantity of foods, their temperature and personal preferences. When cooking frozen foods, refer to the recommended times on the product packs.
