   For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only. It is best to use the 2nd shelf.

4. DIAMOND CLEAN
   The action of the steam released during this special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200 ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and use the function for 35’ at 90°C. Activate the function when the oven is cold and let it cool down for 15′ once the cycle ends.

   For defrosting food more quickly.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

HEAT THE OVEN

• A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal.
• Before starting to cook food, we, therefore, recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odours.
• Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it.
• Heat the oven to 250° C for about one hour, preferably using the “Convection bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.
  Notes: it is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

DAILY USE

1. SELECT A FUNCTION
   To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require:

3. DIAMOND CLEAN
   To activate the “Diamond Clean” cleaning function, pour 200 ml of drinking water into the bottom of the oven, then turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the icon. It is best to use the function for 35’.

4. PREHEATING
   Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signalling that the preheating process has begun.
   At the end of this process, the LED thermostat switches off indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: at this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking.
   Please note: Placing the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result.

5. SETTING THE TIMER
   This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to use the display as a timer, both while a function is active and when the oven is off.
   To activate the timer, turn the timer knob to the desired length of time: an acoustic signal will warn you when the count-down is finished.

COOKING TABLE

• Turn food halfway through cooking
• Turn food two-thirds of the way through cooking (if necessary).
• Switch levels halfway through cooking.
• Estimated length of time: dishes can be removed from the oven at different times depending on personal preference. Switch shelves two-thirds of the way through cooking, if necessary.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

COOKING DIFFERENT FOODS AT THE SAME TIME
Using the “Convection Bake” function, you can cook different foods simultaneously (for example: fish and vegetables), on different levels. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
• Use protective gloves during all operations.
• Carry out the required operations with the oven cold.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
• Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

EXTERIOR SURFACES

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, let the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
• Activate the “Diamond Clean” function for optimum cleaning of the internal surfaces.
• The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate the cleaning of the glass.
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
• The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven.
