Energy saving

• Only pre-heat the oven if specified in the cooking table of the Product Description Sheet or in your recipe.

• Use dark, black enamelled baking moulds as they absorb heat very well.

• The oven door must close properly. The door seals must be kept clean.

• Do not pour water directly into the inside of a hot oven. The enamel coating could be damaged.
• Fruit juice drippings from the baking tray may leave permanent stains. We recommend the oven be cleaned before reusing it.
• Never drag pots and pans across the bottom of the oven to prevent the coating from being scratched.

• Residual condensation after cooking could damage the oven and surrounding kitchen units in time. We recommend that you:

• set the lowest temperature;

• cover food;
• remove food from the oven;

• dry the wet parts when the oven is cool.

• The front panel and the handle of the oven door warm up when the appliance is switched on for a long time at high temperatures.

• Never touch the oven with any wet part of the body and do not operate it with bare feet.
• Do not pull the appliance or the power supply cable to disconnect them from the electrical supply.

- Do not allow children to touch:

• the oven and its controls, especially when in operation and immediately afterwards to avoid injury.
• packaging (bags, polystyrene, metal parts, etc.)

• an oven to be scrapped.

• Make sure that the electrical cables of other appliances used near the oven do not touch hot parts and are not trapped in the oven door.

• Some oven models are equipped with an air cooling system to prevent the front of the oven and cabinet cavity from reaching excessively high temperatures.

Attention: Steam and smoke are vented through an opening located between the control panel and the oven door. Do not obstruct the vent opening.

• Do not place inflammable material in the oven or nearby: a fire may break out if the oven is inadvertently switched on.

• Use oven gloves to remove pans and accessories, when the oven is hot.

• If alcoholic beverages are added when roasting or cooking cakes and sweets (for example, rum, cognac, wine, etc.) remember that alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. It may happen that vapours released by the alcohol can catch fire when they are in contact with the electric heating element.

• Do not heat or cook sealed jars or containers in the oven. The pressure that develops inside the packaging might cause it to explode, damaging the oven.
• Do not use containers made of synthetic material for cooking (except for packages specifically designed for this purpose; see the manufacturer's instructions). They could melt at high temperatures.
  • Always keep a watch on pans when cooking with oil and grease. Oil and fat can overheat and catch fire!
• Never pull out fully loaded shelves. Use extreme caution.

- Remove the accessories from the oven and heat it 200°C for about an hour to eliminate the smell of the protective grease and insulating materials. Keep the window open during this operation.

- Before use, remove:

• stickers on the front and oven door, except for the rating plate;
• cardboard protection and protective plastic film from the front panel controls and other parts of the oven;
• any sticky labels from the accessories (for example, under the drip tray).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Important: never clean the appliance with high pressure water or steam cleaning equipment.

Exterior of the oven

• Clean with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing up detergent to the water. Wipe with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents, which dull the surface. In the event that one of these products comes into contact with the oven, immediately clean it using a damp cloth.
• Slight differences in colour on the front of the appliance are determined by the different materials used, such as glass, plastic and metal.

Ovens with aluminium front panel

• Clean using a delicate detergent and a soft window cleaning cloth or a microfibre cloth that does not leave fibres on the surface. Wipe horizontally, without exerting pressure.
• Do not use corrosive products, hard sponges or rough cloths. Clean the aluminium surfaces with a dry cloth.

Accessories

- Soak the accessories in water with washing up detergent immediately after use. Food residues can be easily removed using a brush or sponge.

Self-cleaning function (pyrolysis) Your oven is self-cleaning

It does this by burning off the fat spatters produced inside the oven during cooking, at a temperature of approx. 500 °C. At this high temperature, the deposits turn into a light ash which can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth, when the oven is cool.

• It is not necessary to select the pyrolytic function after every use, only when the oven is very dirty.
• If the oven is fitted under a hob, make sure that during the self-clean cycle (pyrolisis) all burners or electric hotplates are turned off.

• Remove all accessories before running the pyrolytic function.

• For optimal door cleaning results, wipe away any large deposits with a damp sponge before running the pyrolitic function.
  • To make this function more efficient, the oven has 2 pyrolytic cleaning cycles:

• an energy saving one (PYRO EXPRESS) which consumes 25% less energy than the standard cycle. Used after the second or third time you cook meat, this feature will ensure the oven remains clean.

• a standard one (PYRO), suitable for cleaning a very dirty oven.

6th Sense models automatically detect how dirty the inside of the oven is and set the ideal cleaning time.

- As a safety measure, the oven door locks automatically after selecting the pyrolytic cycle. Due to the very high temperature inside the appliance during the self-cleaning cycle, the oven door will not open even by turning the selector to 0.

When to clean by pyrolysis

If your oven smokes during pre-heating or if there is a lot of smoke during a cooking cycle, run the pyrolytic cycle. You can also use this function if there is an unpleasant smell after cooking various foods (lamb, fish, grilled food...).

FOOD WITH LITTLE SPATTERING	Biscuits, legumes, sweets, quiches, soufflés.Foodstuffs that do not spatter.
FOOD THAT SPATTERS	Meat, fish (in a heat-resistant dish), stuffed vegetables.
FOOD THAT SPATTERS BADLY	Large pieces of meat on the spit.
