General Warnings

Read carefully all the instructions contained in this booklet. It provides you with important information regarding the safe installation, use and maintenance of the appliance as well as useful advice for getting the best out of your oven. Keep this booklet in a safe place for future reference. After removing the packing, check that the appliance is not damaged in any way.

Be careful not to leave the packing materials (plastic sheeting, expanded polystyrene etc.) where children can get at them, as they can be dangerous.

IMPORTANT: do not use the oven door handle to move the appliance, such as to remove it from the packaging.

Attention

The oven is an appliance which, for its nature, becomes hot, especially in correspondence of the glass door. It is therefore a good rule that children do not approach the oven when it is functioning, particularly when the grill is used.

The first time you switch the oven on, acrid smelling smoke may appear. This is caused by the heating of the adhesive used on the insulation panels surrounding the oven. There is nothing unusual about this. If it happens, simply wait until the smoke disappears before putting any food in the oven. Never roast or bake on the oven base.

Indicator Lights

The indicator lights situated above the control panel go on and off when the heating elements are inserted or removed. During the thermostatic functioning of the oven, the neon light remains on until the pre-chosen temperature is reached and when it goes out, this is a sign that the temperature has been reached. When the oven cools, the thermostat determines the re-insertion of the heating elements with consequent re-lighting of the indicator lights. In models, the internal oven light, which is always on when any function is in operation, is considered as an operating warning light.

Installation

IMPORTANT: Unplug your oven before performing installation or maintenance!

Installation should be carried out according to the instructions by a professionally qualified person.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to persons, animals or things due to a wrong installation.

Fitting the Appliance

Fit the appliance into its surround (beneath a work-top or above another appliance) by inserting screws into the 4 holes that can be seen in the frame of the oven when the door is open.

For the most efficient air circulation, the oven should be fitted according to the dimensions shown in figures 1 and 2.

The rear panel of the cabinet must be removed so that air can circulate freely. The panel to which the oven is fitted should have a gap of at least 70 mm at the rear.

Openings at least 50mm deep must be cut both in the bottom and in the top of the unit to ensure adequate ventilation (see figure 1 for essential dimensions).

NB: where ovens are to be matched with hobs, it is essential to follow the instructions contained in the booklet supplied with the other appliance.

The oven must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating.

Oven Functions

Control Panel

The control panel features settings for the top oven and main oven, offering 4 functions for the top oven and 8 functions for the main oven (without rotisserie).

Top Oven Functions

The oven offers a basic choice between two types of cooking:

A) Conventional oven cooking

B) Grill (infrared radiant heat)

Selector functions: Please read functions according to your oven model.

• Top outside+bottom heating element: Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together. This is traditional cooking, very good for roasting joints, ideal for biscuits, baked apples, and crisping food. You obtain very good results when cooking on one shelf.
• Bottom heating element: This function is particularly indicated for cooking from the bottom, warming up food, or sterilizing glass jars. It is also indicated for food requiring long and slow cooking, i.e., casserole. This function can be used between 50 and MAX°C.
• Top outside heating element: It is indicated for warming up pre-cooked food when placing the grid on the second shelf from the top, or for defrosting pastry placing the grid on the first shelf from the bottom. This function can be used between 50 and MAX°C.
• Top outside+inside heating element: It is indicated for grilling and gratinating traditional food. This function must always be used with a half-open door and control protection in position.

Main Oven Functions

The oven offers a basic choice between two types of cooking:

A) Conventional oven cooking

B) Grill (infrared radiant heat)

Selector functions: Please read functions according to your oven model.

• Light in the oven: Operates the internal oven light.
• Fan defrost: The air at ambient temperature is distributed inside the oven for defrosting food more quickly and without proteins adulteration.
• Top outside heating element+bottom heating element: Both the lower and upper heating elements operate together. This is traditional cooking, very good for roasting joints, ideal for biscuits, baked apples, and crisping food. You obtain very good results when cooking on one shelf.
• Fan+circle heating element: Both the fan and the circular heating element operate together. The hot air, adjustable between 50 and MAX°C, is evenly distributed inside the oven. This is ideal for cooking several types of food (meat, fish) at the same time without affecting taste and smell. It is indicated for delicate pastries.
• Top inside heating element: It is indicated for grilling and gratinating small quantities of traditional food. This function can be used with a closed door for very short times (5-10 minutes). For longer times, this function must always be used with a half-open door and control protection in position.
• Top inside+outside heating element: It is indicated for grilling and gratinating traditional food. This function must always be used with a half-open door and control protection in position.
• Top inside+outside heating element+fan: The air, which is heated by the grill heating element, is circulated by the fan and so helps to distribute the heat between 50 and 200°C. This function can be used for sterilizing glass jars.
• Bottom heating element + fan: The air, which is heated by the lower heating element, is circulated by the fan and so helps to distribute the heat between 50 and 200°C. This function can be used for sterilizing glass jars.

In heating system with top and bottom heaters operating. It is recommended to preheat the oven 10 min.

Cooking Table for the Top Oven with Infrared Heater Operating

Grilling is carried out at the door closed. 5 minutes oven preheating is recommended. Setting possibility from 50 - max (250)°C. Food is placed on the backing pan grid.

Cooking Table for the Main Oven with Infrared Heater Operating

Grilling is carried out at the door closed. 5 minutes oven preheating is recommended. Setting possibility from 50 - max (250)°C. Food is placed on the backing pan grid.

Using the Ovens

Set the selector for the type of cooking required. Preheat the oven, setting the thermostat to the required temperature. Once the oven has heated to the selected temperature, the orange warning light will go out. This same light will appear again automatically during operation of the oven to indicate that the heating elements are on.

Remove the drip tray when using the oven for conventional baking, roasting etc. The tray should be left in place only when using the grill, as its purpose is to catch falling droplets of fat. Food should be placed in oven dishes with raised edges and positioned centrally under the grill. If fan-forced operation is selected, foods of different types can be cooked simultaneously (e.g. meat and fish), although in this case the respective cooking time must be observed.

If selecting the [specific cooking position symbol] position, temperatures must be set 10 to 20°C lower than indicated in the table.

Cooking Temperatures and Times

Roasting Guide

Frozen meat should be thoroughly thawed before cooking. For large joints, it is advisable to thaw overnight.

Frozen poultry should be thoroughly thawed before cooking; the time required depends on the size of the bird, e.g., a large turkey may take up to 48 hours to thaw.

Adjust the shelf position so the meat or poultry will be in the centre of the oven.

The TIMES given in the ROASTING GUIDE are only approximate because the size and age of the bird will influence cooking times, as will the shape of a joint and the proportion of bone.

Notes:

• If you are cooking a very large turkey, e.g., over 141lb., it is recommended that it is turned around halfway through cooking, so that both legs will be cooked evenly.
• Remove any excess fat from the tin before turning, to prevent any fat splashing.
• When cooking stuffed meat or poultry, calculate the cooking time from the total weight of the meat plus the stuffing.
• For joints cooked in foil or covered roasters, and for lidded casseroles, add 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) to the calculated cooking time.
• Smaller joints weighing less than 1.25 k.g. (2 lb.) may require 5 minutes per 450g (1lb) extra cooking time.

Maintenance and Care

How to Keep Your Oven in Shape
