GENERAL NOTES ON SAFETY

• Do not leave the oven unattended during baking. Ensure that children do not play with the appliance.

• Always grip the centre of the oven door when opening. DO NOT practice excessive pressures on the

door when it is open.

• Do not worry if condensation forms on the door and on the inside walls of the oven during use. This

does not affect its working order.

• Mind hot steam when opening the oven door

• The appliance becomes very hot during use. Do not touch the heating elements inside the oven. Wear

oven gloves when placing or removing pans from the oven.

• In placing foods into or removing them from the oven, make sure sauces do not drip to the hot plate

of the oven (overheated oils and fats can easily ignite).

• Use only ovenware resistant to the temperatures indicated on the thermostat knob.

• During baking, avoid cover the bottom plate of the oven or its grills with tin foil or other material. Pans,

moulds, etc., must always be placed on the oven shelf.

• When using the grill, always place the dripping plate to collect sauces and fats as suggested in the

“USEFUL COOKING TIPS” section.

• After use of the appliance, make sure that all the controls are set to the off position and closed.

• IMPORTANT WARNING: During and after use the oven crystal door and all surfaces may be very hot.

Keep children away from the oven!

IMPORTANT!! The oven door must stay closed when using both the oven and the grill.

HOW TO USE THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before cooking for the fi rst time, make sure the cooking programme is set to manual mode, then heat the

empty oven at maximum temperature for 2 hours, door closed, to allow dispersion of all packaging smells. During

this time do not stay in the room and keep windows open.

When done, leave the oven to cool down and then clean its interior with hot water and a mild detergent. All

accessories should be washed prior to use (grill, tray, drip pan, spit..).

Before proceeding with any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the mains.

HOW TO USE THE MULTIFUNCTION OVEN

DEFROSTING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

Turn the selector knob (B) to the symbol

and place the food you want to defrost inside the oven.

The length of time required depends on the quantity and type of food. Selecting this function will only activate the

fan. Mild air circulation around frozen food will slowly defrost it. It is particularly suitable for fruit and cakes.

TRADITIONAL COOKING

Turn the selector knob (B) to the symbol

and set the thermostat knob (A) to the desired temperature.

If pre-heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow led turns off before placing foods inside the oven.

This option turns on both bottom and top heating units, evenly distributing heat on your foods.

This type of cooking is ideal for all kind of foods (meats, fi sh, bread, pizzas, cakes..).

COMBINED TRADITIONAL + FAN COOKING

Turn the selector knob (B) to the symbol

and set the thermostat knob (A) to the desired temperature. If

pre-heating is recommended wait till the thermostat yellow led turns off before placing foods inside the oven. This

option turns on both bottom and top heating units, and heat is distributed by fan ventilation.

This combination is suitable for rapid cooking and allows for the use of more plates positioned on the different

levels of the oven (fi g. 5).

DEFROSTING + WARM UP BY HOT AIR (only for ovens with 8 functions)

Turn the selector knob (B) to the symbol

and set the thermostat knob (A) to the desired temperature,

then place the food inside the oven. Selecting this function will activate the bottom heating unit and its heat is

distributed by the fan. This function is particularly recommended to defrost and warm up ready-made meals.

FAN + REAR HEATING COMBINED COOKING (only for ovens with 8 functions)

Turn the selector knob (B) to the symbol

and set the thermostat knob (A) to the desired temperature, then

place your food the oven. If oven needs pre-heating wait till the thermostat yellow led turns off before placing

foods inside it. This function activates the rear heating unit and the fan distributes the heat produced. This

combination allows for a fast and even cooking of several different foods placed on the diverse levels of the

oven (fi g. 5).

CONVETIONAL GRILL COOKING

Turn the selector knob (ref. B) to the symbol

and set the thermostat knob (ref. A) to the desired temperature.

Selecting this function the top central heating element turns on and heat is distributed directly on food surface (fi g.

6). Apart from grilling, this function is ideal to add a golden roast to your recipes or to toast bread slices.

When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath it to collect any sauce dripping, as

suggested in the “COOKING TIPS “ section.

FAN GRILL COOKING

Turn the selector knob (ref.B) to the symbol

and set the thermostat (ref. A) to the desired temperature.

Selecting this function the top central heating element turns on and heat is distributed by the fan. This procedure

mitigates the direct heat on food surface and uses milder temperatures. It is therefore recommended for an even

golden and crispy fi nish touch, ideal for whole fi sh and poultry.

When you use the grill, do not forget to place the drip pan beneath it to collect any sauce dripping, as

suggested in the “COOKING TIPS “ section.
