  • Put the plug into a socket equipped with a third contact which corresponds to the earth and which must be connected and in operation. For models without a plug, attach a standard plug to the cable that is able to bear the load indicated on the tag. The earth conductor is yellow-green in colour. This operation should be carried out by a suitably qualified professional. In case of incompatibility between the socket and the appliance plug, ask a qualified electrician to substitute the socket with another suitable type. Connection to the power source can also be made by placing an omnipolar breaker between the appliance and the power source that can bear the maximum connected load and thatisin line with current legislation. The yellow-green earth cable should not be interrupted by the breaker. The socket or omnipolar breaker used for the connection should be easily accessible when the applianceisinstalled.

  • If the power cable is damaged, it should be substituted with a cable or special bundle available from the manufacturer or by contacting the customer service department.
    If the cable is damaged, replace it promptly in accordance with the followinginstructions:
    -open the cover of the terminal block;
    – remove the power cable and substitute it with a similar cable which is compatible with the appliance (type HO5VV-F, HO5V2V2-F).

  • This operation should be carried out by a suitably qualified professional. The earth conductor (yellow-green) must be approximately 10 mm longer than the other conductors. For any repairs, refer only to the Customer Care Department and request the use of original spare parts.

  • Failure to comply with the above can compromise the safety of the appliance and invalidate the guarantee.

  • Any excess of spilled material should be removed before cleaning.

  • During the pyrolytic cleaning process, surfaces can heat up more than usual, children should therefore be kept at a safe distance.

General Instructions

We thank you for choosing one of our products. For the best results with your oven, you should read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference.
Before installing the oven, take note of the serial number so that you can give it to customer service staff if any repairs are required. Having removed the oven from its packaging, check that it has not been damaged during transportation.
If you have doubts, do not use the oven and refer to a qualified technician for advice.
Keep all of the packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene, nails) out of the reach of children. When the oven is switched on for the first time, strong smelling smoke can develop, which is caused by the glue on the insulation panels surrounding the oven heating for the first time. This s absolutely normal and, if it occurs, you should wait for the smoke to dissipate before putting food in the oven. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility in cases where the instructions contained in this document are not observed. NOTE : the oven functions, properties and accessories cited in this manual will vary, depending on the model you have purchased.
1.1 Safety Indications
Only use the oven for its intended purpose, that is only for the cooking of foods; any other use, for example as a heat source, is considered improper and therefore dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable usage The use of any electrical appliance implies the observance of some fundamental rules: -don ot pull onthe power cable to disconnect the plug from the socket; – do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet;
-ingeneral the use of adaptors, multiple sockets and extension cables is not recommended;
-in case of malfunction and/or poor operation, switch off the appliance and do not tamper withe it.
1.2 Electrical Safety
ENSURE THAT AN ELECTRICIAN OR QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MAKES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. The power supply to which the oven is connected must conform with the laws in force in the country of installation. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by the failure to observe these instructions. The oven must be connected to an electrical supply with an earthed wall outlet or a disconnector with multiple poles, depending on the laws in force in the country of installation. The electrical supply should be protected with suitable fuses and the cables used must have a transverse section that can ensure correct supplyto the oven.
CONNECTION
The oven is supplied with a power cable that should only be connected to an electrical supply with 220- 240 Vac 50 Hz power between the phases or between the phase and neutral. Before the oven is connected to the electrical supply, it is important to check:
– power voltage indicated on the gauge;
-the setting of the disconnector.
The grounding wire connected to the oven’s earth terminal must be connected to the earth terminal of the power supply.
WARNING
Before connecting the oven to the power supply, ask a qualified electrician to check the continuity of the power supply’s earth terminal. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any accidents or other problems caused by failure to connect the oven to the earth terminal or by an earth connection that has defective continuity.
NOTE: as the oven could require maintenance work, itis advisable to keep another wall socket available 5o that the oven can be connected to this if it is removed from the space in which it is installed. The power cable must only be substituted by technical service staff or by technicians with equivalent qualifications.
1.3 Recommendations
After each use of the oven, a minimum of cleaning will help keep the oven perfectly clean.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminium foil or single-use protection available from stores. Aluminium foil or any other protection, in direct contact with the hot enamel, risks melting and deteriorating the enamel of the insides. In order to prevent excessive dirtying of your oven and the resulting strong smokey smells, we recommend not using the oven at very high temperature. It is better to extend the cooking time and lower the temperature a little. In addition to the accessories supplied with the oven, we advise you only use dishes and baking moulds resistant to very high temperatures.
1.4 Installation
The manufacturers have no obligation to carry this out. If the assistance of the manufacturer is required to rectify faults arising from incorrect installation, this assistance is not covered by the guarantee. The installation instructions for professionally qualified personnel must be followed. Incorrect installation may cause harm or injury to people, animals or belongings. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for such harm orinjury.
The oven can be located high in a column or under a worktop. Before fixing, you must ensure good ventilation in the oven space to allow proper circulation of the fresh air required for cooling and protecting the internal parts. Make the openings specified on last page according to the type of fitting.
1.5 Waste management and environmental protection
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU regarding electric and electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contain both polluting substances (that can have a negative effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be reused). It is important that the WEEE undergo specific treatments to correctly remove and dispose of the pollutants and recover all the materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that the WEEE do not become an environmental problem; it is essential to followa few basic rules
~the WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
– the WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a registered company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a new appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor who must accept it free of charge as a one-off, as longas the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions s the purchased appliance.
SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try tofillit. Open the oven door as infrequently as possible, because heat from the cavity disperses every time it is opened. For a significant energy saving, switch off the oven between 5 and 10 minutes before the planned end of the cooking time, and use the residual heat that the oven continues to generate. Keep the seals clean and i order, to avoid any heat dispersal outside of the cavity.
If you have an electric contract with an hourly tariff, the “delayed cooking” programme makes energy saving more simple, moving the cooking process o start at the reduced tariff times slot.
1.6 Declaration of compliance
The parts of this appliance that may come into contact with foodstuffs comply with the provisions of EEC Directive 89/109
By placing the  **** mark on this product, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.

3.2 Cooking Modes

Function Dial| T °C default| T °C range|

Function (Depends on the oven model)

---|---|---|---
| | | LAMP: Turns on the oven light.
| 40| 40 ÷. 40| DEFROST: When the dial is set to this position. The fan circulates air at room temperature around the frozen food so that it defrosts in a few minutes without the protein content of the food being changed or altered.
| 180
210| 50 ÷ 240
50 + 240| FAN COOKING: We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables. Heat penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and preheating times are reduced. You can cook different foods at the same time with or without the same preparation in one or more positions. This cooking method gives even heat distribution and the smells are not mixed. Allow about ten minutes extra when cooking foods at the same time.
| 220| 50 ÷ 280| CONVENTIONAL COOKING: Both top and bottom heating elements are used. Preheat the oven for about ten minutes. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking. For seizing red meats, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread, foil wrapped food (pa pillotes), flaky pastry. Place the food and its dish on a shelf in mid position.
| 210| 50 ÷ 230| BOTTOM: Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry based dishes. Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pate and any cooking that needs more heat from below.
| 210| 50 ÷ 230| FAN + LOWER ELEMENT: The bottom heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven. This method is ideal for juicy fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pâté.
It prevents food from drying and encourages rising in cakes, bread dough and other bottom-cooked food.
Place the shelf in the bottom position.
| 200| 150 + 220| FAN ASSISTEDGRILL: use the turbo-grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven. Preheating is necessary for red meats but not for white meats. Ideal for cooking thick food items, whole pieces such as roast pork, poultry, etc. Place the food to be grilled directly on the shelf centrally, at the middle level. Slide the drip tray under the shelf to collect the juices. Make sure that the food is not too close to the grill. Turn the food over halfway through cooking.
| L3| LI. t L5| GRILL: use the grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used alone and you can adjust the temperature. Five minutes preheating is required to get the elements red-hot. Success is guaranteed for grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. White meats should be put at a distance from the grill; the cooking time is longer, but the meat will be tastier. You can put red meats and fish fillets on the shelf with the drip tray underneath. The oven has two grill positions: Grill:2140W Barbecue:3340W
| 220| 50 =230| PIZZA-With this function hot air circulated in the oven to ensure perfect result
for dishes such as pizza or cake.
| 190| 50 : 230| The “ECO” function allows you to cook in a healthier way, by reducing the amount of fat or oil required. Thanks to the use of the grill and fan combined with a pulsating cycle of air, it will retain the moisture content of the food, grilling the surface and using a shorter cooking time, without compromising on taste. It is particularly suitable for cooking meat, roasted vegetables and omelettes. The cycle of pulsed air keeps the humidity inside the oven and the moisture content of the food, preserving the nutritional values and ensuring a rapid uniform cooking process.
