ACCESSORIES

INSERTING THE WIRE SHELF AND OTHER ACCESSORIES
Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides, making sure that the side with the raised edge is facing upwards.
Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.

FITTING THE SLIDING RUNNERS
Remove the shelf guides from the oven and remove the protective plastic from the sliding runners.
Fasten the upper clip of the runner to the shelf guide and slide it along as far as it will go. Lower the other clip into position.

To secure the guide, press the lower portion of the clip firmly against the shelf guide. Make sure that the runners can move freely. Repeat these steps on the other shelf guide on the same level.

Please note: The sliding runners can be fitted on any level.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES

• To remove the shelf guides, lift them up and pull the lower parts out of their lodgings: The shelf guides can now be removed.
• To refit the shelf guides, first fit them back into their upper seating. Keeping them held up, slide them into the cooking compartment, then lower them into position in the lower seating.

USING THE TURNSPIT

Push the skewer through the centre of the meat (bound with string if poultry) and slide the meat onto the skewer until it is positioned firmly on the fork and cannot move. Push the second fork onto the skewer and slide it on until it holds the meat firmly in place.

Tighten the fixing screw to secure it in position.
Insert the end into the recess provided in the oven’s cooking compartment and rest the rounded part on the relevant support.

Please note: To collect the cooking juices, position the drip tray below and add 500 ml of potable water. To avoid burning yourself when the skewer is hot, only handle it by the plastic handle (which must be removed before cooking).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
Do not use steam cleaners.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.
Wear protective gloves.
The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

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 ofthese 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 anydeposits or stains caused by food residues.
  To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.

• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.

• The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.

ACCESSORIES
Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

CLEANING THE COOKING COMPARTMENT WITH THE PYRO CYCLE

Do not touch the oven during the Pyro cycle.
Keep children and animals away from the oven during and after (until the room has finished airing) running the Pyro cycle.

This function enables you to eliminate cooking spatters using a high temperature. At this temperature, food residues turn into deposits that can be easily wiped away with a damp sponge once the oven has cooled down.
If the oven is installed below a hob, make sure that all the burners or electric hotplates are switched off while running the self-cleaning cycle.
Remove all accessories from the oven before running the Pyro function (including the shelf guides).
For optimum cleaning results, remove excessive residuals inside the cavity and clean the inner door glass before using the Pyro function.
Then oven has two different pyrolytic cleaning functions: The standard cycle (PYRO) provides thorough cleaning if the oven is heavily soiled, while the economic cycle (PYRO EXPRESS) is shorter and consumes less energy than the standard cycle, which makes it suitable for use at regular intervals.
Only run the Pyro function if the appliance contains heavy soiling or gives off bad odours during cooking.
Please note: The oven door cannot be opened while pyrolytic cleaning is in progress. It will remain locked until the temperature has returned to an acceptable level.
Air the room during and after running the Pyro cycle.

REPLACING THE LAMP

1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply.
2. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light.
3. Reconnect the oven to the power supply.

Please note: Only use 25-40W/230V type E-14, T300°C incandescent bulbs, or 20-40 W/230 V type G9, T300 °C halogen bulbs. The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009). Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service.
– If using halogen bulbs, do not handle them with your bare hands as your fingerprints could cause damage. Do not use the oven until the light cover has been refitted.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

1. To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position.

2. Close the door as much as you can.
   Take a firm hold of the door with both hands – do not hold it by the handle.
   Simply remove the door by continuing to close it while pulling it upwards at the same time until it is released from its seating. Put the door to one side, resting it on a soft surface.

3. Refit the door by moving it towards the oven, aligning the hooks of the hinges with their seating and securing the upper part onto its seating.

4. Lower the door and then open it fully.
   Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them down completely. Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE
The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook various 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
The “Forced Air” function enables you to cook different foods (such as fish and vegetables) on different shelves at the same time.
Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.
