CANDY OVENS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

During cooking, moisture may condense inside the oven cavity or on the glass of the door. This is a normal condition. To reduce this effect, wait 1015 minutes after turning on the power before putting food inside the oven. ln any case, the condensation disappears when the oven reaches the cooking temperature.
Cook the vegetables in a container with a lid instead of an open tray.
Avoid leaving food inside the oven after cooking for more than 15/20 minutes.
WARNING: the appliance and accessible parts become hot during use. Be careful not to touch any hot parts.
WARNING: the accessible parts can become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept at a safe distance.
WARNING: ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the bulb, to avoid the possibility of electric shocks.
WARNING: in order to avoid any danger caused by the accidental resetting of the thermal interruption device, the appliance should not be powered by an external switching device, such as a timer, or be connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off.
Children under 8 should be kept at a safe distance from the appliance if not continuously supervised.
Children should not play with the appliance.
The appliance can be used by those aged 8 or over and by those with limited physical, sensorial or mental capacities, without experience or knowledge of the product, only if supervised or provided with instruction as to the operation of the appliance, in a safe way with awareness of the possible risks.
Cleaning and maintenance should not be carried out by unsupervised children.
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glasses, as they can scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter.
The oven must be switched off before removing the removable parts. After cleaning, reassemble them according the instructions.
Only use the meat probe recommended for this oven.
Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning operations.
Connect a plug to the supply cable that is able to bear the voltage, current and load indicated on the tag and having the earth contact. The socket must be suitable for the load indicated on the tag and must have ground contact connected and in operation. The earth conductor is yellow-green in colour. This operation should be carried out by suitably qualified professional. ln case of incompatibility between the socket and the appliance plug, ask a qualified electrician to substitute the socket with another suitable type. The plug and the socket must be conformed to the current norms of the installation country. Connection to the power source can also be made by placing an omni polar breaker between the appliance and the power source that can bear the maximum connected load and that is in line with current legislation. The yellow-green earth cable should not be interrupted by the breaker. The socket or omni polar breaker used for the connection should be easily accessible when the appliance is installed.
The disconnection may be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
lf 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. The type of power cable must be H05V2V2-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.
A long power supply failure during an occurring cooking phase may cause a malfunction of the monitor. ln this case contact customer service.
The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating.
When you place the shelf inside, make sure that the stop is directed upwards and in the back of the cavity. The shelf must be inserted completely into the cavity.
WARNING: Do not line the oven walls with aluminum foil or single-use protection available from stores. Aluminum foil or any other protection, in direct contact with the hot enamel, risk melting and deteriorating the enamel of the insides.
WARNING: Never remove the oven door seal
CAUTION: Do not refill the cavity bottom with water during cooking or when the oven is hot.
No additional operation/setting is required in order to operate the appliance at the rated frequencies.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic components (which can be reused). It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

WEEE shall not be treated as household waste.
WEEE shall be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.
When you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

ENERGY SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Where possible, avoid pre- heating the oven and always try to fill it. 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 in 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 to start at the reduced tariff time slot.

GENERAL WARNINGS

Thank you for choosing one of our products. To get the most out of your oven we recommend that you:

Read the notes in this manual carefully: they contain important instructions on how to install, use and service this oven safely.
Keep this booklet in a safe place for easy, future reference. All accessible parts are hot when the appliance is in operation, take care to not touch these elements. When the oven is first switched on it may give out acrid smelling fumes. This is because the bonding agent for insulating panels around the oven has been heated up for the first time. This is a completely normal, if it does occur you merely have to wait for the fumes to clear before putting the food into the oven. An oven by its very nature becomes very hot. Especially the glass of the oven door.

DECLARATION OF COMPLIANCE

By placing the mark on the appliance, we are confirming compliance to all relevant European safety, health and environmental requirements which are applicable in legislation for this product.
When you have unpacked the oven, make sure that it has not been damaged in any way. If you have any doubts at all, do not use it: contact a professionally qualified person. Keep packing materials such as plastic bags, polystyrene, or nails out of the reach of children because they are dangerous for children.

SAFETY HINTS

The oven must be used only for the purpose for which it was designed: it must only be used for cooking food. Any other use, e.g. as a form of heating, is an improper use of the oven and is therefore dangerous.
The manufacturers cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by improper, incorrect or unreasonable use. When using any electrical appliance you must follow a few basic rules.
- Do not pull on the power cable to remove the plug from the socket.
– Do not touch the oven with wet or damp hands or feet.
– Do not use the oven unless you are wearing something on your feet.
– It is not generally a good idea to use adapters, multiple sockets for several plugs and cable extensions.
If the oven breaks down or develops a fault switch it off at the mains and do not touch it. ·If the cable is at all damaged it must be replaced promptly. When replacing the cable, follow these instructions. Remove the power cable and replace it with one of the H05RRF, H05VV-F, H05V2V2-F type. The cable must be able to bear the electrical current required by the oven. Cable replacement must be carried out by properly qualified technicians. The earthing cable (yellow-green) must be 10 mm longer than the power cable.
Use only an approved service centre for repairs and ensure that only original parts are used. If the above instructions are not adhered to the manufacturers cannot guarantee the safety of the oven.
Do not line the oven walls with aluminum foil or single-use protection available from stores. Aluminum foil or any other protection, in direct contact with the hot enamel, risks melting and deteriorating the enamel of the insides.

INSTALLATION

Installation is the customer’s responsibility. 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 personal must be followed. Incorrect installation may cause harm or injury to people, animals or belongings. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for such harm or injury.

FITTING THE OVEN INTO THE KITCHEN UNIT

Fit the oven into the space provided in the kitchen unit; it may be fitted underneath a work top or into an upright cupboard. Fix the oven in position by screwing into place, using the four fixing holes in the frame. (Fig.on last page). To locate the fixing holes, open the oven door and look inside.To allow adequate ventilation, the measurements and distances indicated in the diagram on last page must be adhered to when fixing the oven. Note: For ovens that are combined with a hob unit the instructions contained in the manual for the hob unit must be followed.

IMPORTANT

If the oven is to work properly, the kitchen housing must be suitable. The panels of the kitchen unit that are next to the oven must be made of a heat resistant material. Ensure that the glues of units made of veneered wood can withstand temperatures of at least 120 °C. Plastics or glues that cannot withstand such temperatures will melt and deform the unit. Once the oven has been lodged inside the unit, the electrical parts must be completely insulated. This is a legal safety requirement. All guards must be firmly fixed into place so that it is impossible to remove them without using special tools. Remove the back of the kitchen unit to ensure an adequate current of air circulates around the oven. The hob must have a rear gap of at least 45 mm.

CONNECTING TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Plug into the power supply. Ensure first that there is a third contact that acts as earthing for the oven. The oven must be properly earthed.
If the model of oven is not fitted with a plug, fit a standard plug to the power cable. It must be able to bear the power supply indicated on the specifications plate. The earthing cable is yellowgreen. The plug must be fitted by a properly qualified person. If the socket and the plug are incompatible the socket must be changed by a properly qualified person. A properly qualified person must also ensure that the power cables can carry the current required to operate the oven. An ON/OFF switch may also be connected to the power supply. The connections must take account of the current supplied and must comply with current legal requirements. The yellow-green earthing cable must not be governed by the ON/OFF switch. The socket or the ON/OFF switch used for connecting to the power supply must be easily accessible when the oven has been installed.

The oven complies with safety standards set by the regulatory bodies. The oven is safe to use only if it has been adequately earthed in compliance with current legal requirements on wiring safety. You must ensure that the oven has been adequately earthed.
The manufacturers cannot be held responsible for any harm or injury to persons, animals or belongings caused by failure to properly earth the oven. WARNING: the voltage and the supply frequency are showed on the rating plate (fig. on last page).
The cabling and wiring system must be able to bear the maximum electric power required by the oven. This is indicated on the specifications plate. If you are in any doubt at all, use the services of a professionally qualified person.

OVEN EQUIPMENT (according to the model)

It is necessary to do an initial cleaning of the equipment before the first use of each of them. Wash them with a sponge. Rinse and dry off.
The simple shelf can take moulds and dishes.
The tray holder shelf is especially good for grilling things. Use it with the drip tray.

The special profile of the shelves means they stay horizontal even when pulled right out. There is no risk of a dish sliding or spilling.

The drip tray catches the juices from grilled foods. It is only used with the Grill, Rotisserie, or Fan Assisted Grill ; remove it from the oven for other cooking methods.

Never use the drip tray as a roasting tray as this creates smoke and fat will spatter your oven making it dirty.

The pizza set is designed for pizza cooking. In order to obtain the best results the set must be used together with Pizza function.
The tray holder

The tray holder shelf is ideal for grilling. Use it in conjunction with the drip tray. A handle is included to assist in moving the both accessories safely. Do no leave the handle inside the oven.

Lateral wire grids
It located at both sides of the oven cavity. It holds metal grills and drip pans

Removing and cleaning wire racks

Remove the wire racks by pulling them in the direction of the
arrows (see below)
To clean the wire racks either put them in the dishwasher or use
a wet sponge, ensuring that they are dried afterwards.
After the cleaning process install the wire racks in reverse order.

USEFUL TIPS

SHELF SAFETY SYSTEM

The oven features a new shelf safety system.
This allows you to pull out the oven shelves when inspecting the food without danger of food spillages or shelves falling accidentally out of the oven.
To remove the shelves pull out and lift.

GRILLING

Grilling makes it possible to give food a rich brown colour quickly. For browning we recommend that you insert the grill onto the fourth level, depending on the proportions of the food (see fig. page 7). Almost all food can be cooked under the grill except for very lean game and meat rolls. Meat and fish that are going to be grilled should first be lightly doused with oil.

The U•COOK MODELS

U•COOK Ovens have an electronic control of the fan speed, called and patented VARIOFAN. During the cooking, this system changes automatically the speed of the fan (in multifunction mode) in order to optimize the air flow and the internal temperature in the cavity of the
oven.

All U•COOK ovens feature the function. This allows a management of the distribution of moisture and temperature. It reduces the loss of humidity of the 50 %, which guarantees the food remains tender and tastes better. This a delicate cooking is recommended for the baking of the bread and pastry.

It reduces the time of preheating of ovens: only 8 minutes to reach 200 degrees Celsius.

It gives the possibility of setting level and intensity of grilling, up to 50 % more power in comparison with a traditional multifunction oven.

Some ovens are equipped with the new doors which has a bigger window area, this allows better maintenance and a improved thermal insulation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never use abrasive cleaners, wire wool or sharp objects to clean the glass oven door.
Clean the stainless steel and enamelled surfaces with warm, soapy water or with suitable brand products. On no account use abrasive powders that may damage surfaces and ruin the oven’s appearance. It is very important to clean the oven each time that it is used. Melted fat is deposited on the sides of the oven during cooking. The next time the oven is used this fat could cause unpleasant odours and might even jeopardise the success of the cooking. Use hot water and detergent to clean; rinse out thoroughly.
To make this chore unnecessary all models can be lined with catalytic self- cleaning panels: these are supplied as an optional extra (see the section SELF-CLEANING OVEN WITH CATALYTIC LINING). Use detergents and abrasive metal pads like «brillo pads» for the stainless steel grills.
The glass surfaces as the top, oven door and warming compartment door must be cleaned when they are cold. Damage that occurs to them because this rule was not adhered to are not covered by the guarantee. To replace the interior light:

switch off the mains power supply and unscrew bulb. Replace with an identical bulb that can withstand very high temperatures

SERVICE CENTRE

Before calling the Service Centre
If the oven is not working, we recommend that:
you check that the oven is properly plugged into the power supply. If the cause of the fault cannot be detected: disconnect the oven from the mains, do not touch the oven and call the after sales service.
Before calling the Service Centre remember to make a note of the serial number on the specifications plate (see fig. On last page). The oven is supplied with a guarantee certificate that ensures that it will be repaired free of charge by the Service Centre

TIMER

USING THE MINUTE TIMER

To set the cooking time, turn dial one complete revolution and then position the index to the required time. When the time has lapsed, the signal will ring for a few seconds.

USING THE END OF COOKING TIMER

This control enables to set the desired cooking time (max. 120 min.) the oven will automatically switch off at the end of the set time. The timer will count down from the set time return to the O position and switch off automatically. For normal use of oven set the timer to the position.
To set the oven ensure the timer is not on the O position.
