USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Carry out an ”empty” cooking cycle so as to remove any smell and smoke from the protective coat-

ings applied to metal parts:

- switch on the oven by turning the dial to the symbol ; set the temperature to the maximum and

the timer to 15 minutes;

- leave the appliance to operate with the door open in a well-aired environment.

During this operation, it is usual for smoke to come off metal parts and side openings. After this

operation, ventilate the room.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

ATTENTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICITY MAINS BEFORE

FITTING OR REMOVING SINGLE ATTACHMENTS OR BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.

- Prepare the foods for cooking by placing them on the grill (C) or inside the drip pan (D).

- Plug the appliance into the mains power and use the function select dial (H) to select the type of

cooking required:

top cooking (for gratin);

bottom cooking;

cooking at full power (top and bottom at the same time).

- Turn the dial of the thermostat (G) and set the required cooking temperature.

- Place the grill (C) or the drip pan (D) with the previously prepared foods inside the oven at the

cooking level (E) required (Fig. 2).

When cooking foods on the grill (C), also insert the drip pan (D) at a lower level (E) than the grill

(C) so as to collect any cooking fat (Fig. 3). We recommend pouring two glasses of water in the

drip pan (D) to prevent smoke, unpleasant odours and build up.

IMPORTANT: Place foods at a minimum distance of 2 cm from the top heating element.

- Use the dial (L) to set the timer for the required cooking time.

At this point, the oven will commence cooking and the On indicator light (I) will switch on: it

switches off when the set cooking time has stopped automatically or if the dial (L) is reset to “0”.

When the oven is switched on, according to the type of cooking selected, the fan will start up auto-

matically. Hot ventilated air guarantees even temperature distribution for even cooking on several

levels, without mixing odours.

IMPORTANT: Keep an eye on the food while it is cooking.

- At the end of the cooking time, the oven will switch off automatically.

- Unplug the appliance from the mains power, open the door and to avoid the risk of burning your-

self, remove the grill (C) or the drip pan (D) with special oven gloves for the grill or the special fork

(N), provided, for the pan (Fig. 4).

CLEANING

ATTENTION: NEVER PLACE THE APPLIANCE BODY, PLUG OR POWER CORD IN WATER OR

OTHER LIQUIDS; ALWAYS WIPE CLEAN WITH A DAMP CLOTH.

ATTENTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE ELECTRICITY MAINS BEFORE

FITTING OR REMOVING SINGLE ATTACHMENTS OR BEFORE CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.

- Frequent cleaning prevents the formation of smoke and unpleasant odours during cooking.

- Use the special oven gloves to remove the crumb tray (M) and proceed to clean. Return it to the

inside of the appliance, taking care to position it correctly under the heating elements (B) (Fig. 5).

- The drip tray (D), grill (C) and crumb tray (M) can be washed in warm, soapy water, or in the top

rack of the dishwasher.

- Always wipe the outside clean with a damp sponge.

Do not use abrasive products that can damage the paintwork.

- Never use products that might corrode aluminium (spray detergents) to clean the inside surfaces

and never scrape the sides with sharp or pointed objects. Wipe with a damp sponge at the end of

each use, when the oven has completely cooled.
