Instructions for the installer (qualified professional)

The cooker is manufactured to work with three-phase alternating current (400V3N~50Hz). Remember that the connection wire should match the connection type and the power rating of the cooker. The connection cable must be secured in a strain-relief clamp. The ground wire must be connected to the marked clamp of the terminal. The electric supply of the appliance must be equipped with an emergency switch with a distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm which disconnects the entire appliance from the mains in a case of emergency. Read the information on the rating label and the connection diagram before connecting the appliance to the mains.
When the socket is not accessible for the user or a fixed electrical connection of the appliance is required, an all-pole disconnecting device must be incorporated during installation. Disconnecting devices are switches with a contact opening distance of at least 3 mm. These include LS-switches, fuses and protectors (EN 30335).

Remove all packaging material.
Clean the oven inside from all protective agents.
Take out the supplied accessories and clean them with warm water and washing-up liquid.
Switch on the room ventilation or open a window.
Let the oven operate (250ºC) for 30 minutes. Now a little bit of smoke and odour may be generated for approx. 15 minutes. This is normal. They are generated by the substance, that protects your appliance against damage caused by the shipment from the manufacturer’s works.

The oven can be switched off by setting both of these knobs to position “0”.

Two signal lights (red and green) indicate that the oven is operating.

The red light indicates that the oven is heating.
When the red light goes off the oven has reached the temperature you preset.
If a recipe recommends to place dishes in a warmed-up oven, place the dishes in the oven after the red light has gone off for the first time.
While the oven is used, the red light will go off and on temporarily to maintain the preset temperature.
The green light indicates that the oven is operating.

3.6 Helpful hints

We recommend to use the supplied baking tray provided with your appliance.
It is also possible to bake in cake tins and trays bought somewhere else. For baking it is better to use black trays which conduct heat better and shorten the baking time.
Shapes and trays with bright or shiny surfaces are not recommended when using the conventional heating method (top and bottom heaters).The use of such tins can result in under-cooking the base of cakes.
Before you take a cake out of the oven, check that it is ready using a wooden stick (when the cake is ready the stick should come out dry and clean after having been inserted in the cake).
When switching off the oven leave the cake inside for about 5 minutes.
Cook meat with a weight of more than 1 kg in the oven. Cook smaller pieces of food on the hob.
Use oven-proof cookware only. Check that their handles also are oven-proof.
When you cook meat on a grillage, insert a drip tray with a small amount of water in the oven (minimum rack height).
Turn over meat at least once.
Never pour cold water on the meat.

3.7 Saving of energy

Do not open the oven door unnecessarily often.
Switch off the oven in good time and make use of the residual heat.
Only use the oven when cooking larger dishes.
Meat of up to 1kg can be cooked more economically in a pan on the hob.
If the cooking time takes longer than 40 minutes switch off the oven 10 minutes before.
Make sure the oven door is closed properly.
Heat can escape through spillages on the door seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker near of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise the energy consumption increases unnecessarily.
