4. USE OF THE OVEN

4.1Warnings and general advice

Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum temperature (250^) long enough to burn off any manufacturing oily residues which could give the food a bad taste.

During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the enamel coating. If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.

To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

4.2 Cooling system (certain models only)

The oven is equipped with a cooling system which automatically comes on when the oven is turned on.

Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which exits at the bottom part of the oven front which may continue for a brief period of time even after the oven has been turned off.

4.3 Oven light

To turn on the oven light in models with static oven, rotate the temperature knob clockwise to the first setting aligned with the lamp symbol (The light will remain on throughout the entire cooking operation.

In the multifunction models, the inside oven light may be turned on by simultaneously rotating the function selector knob and the timer knob. When the oven is not working, the light comes on by simply opening the door.

5. AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES

Instructions for the user

6. COOKING HINTS

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40^ above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking

6.1 Traditional cooking (multifunction models)

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

$$ 5 0 \div 2 5 0 ^ {\circ} \mathrm {C} $$

This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to preheat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need to take is to set the temperature about 20^ lower and cooking time about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

6.2 Fan cooking (multifunction models)

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

$$ 5 0 \div 2 5 0 ^ {\circ} \mathrm {C} $$

This system is suitable for cooking on several levels, including different types of food (fish, meat etc.), without the tastes and smells mingling. Air circulation in the oven ensures a uniform distribution of heat.

Multiple cooking is possible as long as the cooking temperature of the different foods is the same.

6.3 Grill cooking

FUNCTION SWITCH

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

Permits rapid browning of foods. You are advised to place the pan in the highest position. When cooking small items for a short time the pan should be in the highest position. For larger items requiring longer cooking times, the pan should be lowered to avoid food being burned on top before being thoroughly cooked.

Grill function must be used only with the door closed.

Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of operation.

6.4 Fan grilling (multifunction models)

FUNCTION SWITCH

200

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

Ensures uniform heat distribution with greater heat penetration into the food. Food will be lightly browned on the outside and remain soft inside.

Keep the oven door closed during cooking. Heating up time must not exceed 60 minutes.

Keep the oven door closed during grilling. Grilling with the door open could permanently damage the oven and affect safety of operation.

6.5 Delicate cooking (in some models only)

Ideal for pastries and cakes with a liquid surface and little sugar and moist desserts in moulds. Excellent results can also be achieved in completing cooking at the base and with dishes requiring heat in the lower area in particular. The pan is best inserted in the lowest position.

6.6 Defrosting (multifunction models)

The flow of air produced by the fan ensures quicker defrosting. The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature.

The advantage of defrosting at room temperature is that it does not alter the taste and appearance of the food.

6.7 Spit roasting (models with static oven)

THERMOSTAT SWITCH

Prepare the food on the spit rod and block fork screws A. Insert the frame B in the third level from the bottom. Remove handle D and position the spit rod with the handle holder E in the guide on frame B. Completely fit frame B until the tip of the spit rod fits into hole C on the back wall of the oven. Place an oven dish F on the bottom guide and pour in a little water to prevent smoke from forming.

It is normal for the thermostat light to flash during cooking. This indicates the temperature inside the oven is regular.

6.8 Recommended cooking table

Cooking times, especially meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste.

Instructions for the user

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NEVER USE A STEAM JET TO CLEAN THE APPLIANCE.

Before carrying out any maintenance, switch off the power supply to the machine.

7.1 Cleaning stainless steel

To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly after use. Let it cool first.

7.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning

To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or leather.

7.1.2 Food stains or residues

Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will damage the surface.

Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or plastic tool if necessary.

Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or leather.

Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the oven.

7.2 Cleaning of the oven (without self-cleaning panels)

For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take out all removable parts.

Instructions for the user

• Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Rinse and dry.
• The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 15/20 minutes after using specific products, to eliminate the residues deposited inside the oven.
  For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see P. 8.2)

7.3 Self-cleaning liners (only on some models)

The oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners.

These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over time.

7.3.1 Using the self-cleaning liners

Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at temperatures of not less than 200^ for a time varying from 30 to 60 minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a damp sponge

7.3.2 Looking after the self-cleaning liners

The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners.

7.3.3 Assembling the self-cleaning liners

1. Remove all accessories from the oven; Remove the side supports (fig.1);
2. Extract the side liners "F" and "G"(fig. 2);
3. Remove the back panel "A" after undoing the threaded ring-nut "C" (fig. 2).
4. Incorrect installation of the rear panel can lead to uneven cooking

7.4 Door glass

The door glass should always be kept clean. Use absorbent kitchen paper to clean. In case of tough spots, clean with a damp sponge using regular detergent.

8. ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE

The oven may require additional maintenance or replacement of parts subject to wear such as seals, bulbs, and so on. The following instructions describe how to carry out these minor maintenance operations.

Before any intervention, disconnect the power supply.

8.1 Replacement of light bulb

Remove the bulb protector A by turning anticlockwise and change bulb B (in the 8-function model with front glass panel change the halogen bulb C) with a similar one. Re-fit the bulb protector A.

Only use oven bulbs (T300^)

8.2 Removing the door

Raise levers on each hinge A to lock the hinges before attempting to remove the door. Hold the door on both sides with both hands near hinges B. Lift up the door forming an angle of about 45^ and remove. To refit, slide the hinges A into slots in oven frame. Locate the grooves (figure C) over frame of oven in hinge cut out, lower the door and release the locking levers (figure B).

8.3 Oven door seal

To permit thorough cleaning of the oven, the seal may be removed. Before removing the seal, take off the door as described above. Once the door has been taken off, lift the tabs at the corners as shown in the figure.

After cleaning, refit the seal with the longer side horizontal and insert the tabs into the appropriate holes starting from the top ones.
