The number and type of accessories may vary depending on which model is purchased. Other accessories can be purchased separately from the After-sales Service.

INSERTING THE WIRE SHELF AND OTHER ACCESSORIES

• Insert the wire shelf onto the level you require by holding it tilted slightly upwards and resting the raised rear side (pointing upwards) down first. Next, slide it horizontally along the shelf guide as far as possible.

• The other accessories, such as the baking tray, are inserted horizontally by sliding them along the shelf guides.

• The shelf guides can be removed to facilitate the oven cleaning: pull them to remove from their seats.

FUNCTIONS

• OFF: For switching off the oven.
• LIGHT: For switching on the light in the compartment.
• CONVENTIONAL: For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only. It is best to use the 2nd shelf.
• DIAMOND CLEAN: The action of the steam released during this special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200 ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and use the function for 35' at 90°C. Activate the function when the oven is cold and let it cool down for 15' once the cycle ends.
• CONVECTION BAKE: For baking cakes with juicy fillings on a single shelf. This function can also be used for cooking on two shelves. Switch the position of the dishes to cook food more evenly.
• GRILL: For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of drinking water.
• TURBO GRILL: For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef, chicken). We recommend using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.
• DEFROSTING: For defrosting food more quickly.
• LOWER HEATING: Useful for browning the base of the dish. This function is recommended also for slow-cooking, for finishing the cooking of juicy dishes, and making sauce concentrates.
• FORCED AIR: For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to another.
• BREAD: To bake different types and sizes of bread. It is best to use the 2nd shelf.

USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

HEAT THE OVEN

A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal. Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odours.

Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it.

Heat the oven to 250° C for about one hour, preferably using the “Convection bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.

Notes: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time.

DAILY USE

1. SELECT A FUNCTION
To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require.

2. ACTIVATE A FUNCTION

MANUAL
To start the function you have selected, turn the thermostat knob to set the temperature you require. To interrupt the function at any time, switch off the oven, turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to 0 [OFF symbol].

DIAMOND CLEAN
To activate the “Diamond Clean" cleaning function, pour 200 ml of drinking water into the bottom of the oven, then turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the [DIAMOND CLEAN symbol]. It is best to use the function for 35'.

3. PREHEATING

Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signalling that the preheating process has begun. At the end of this process, the LED thermostat switches off indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: At this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking.

Please note: Placing the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result.

SETTING THE TIMER

This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to use the minute minder both while a function is active and when the oven is off. To activate the timer, turn the timer knob right round in a clockwise direction and then turn it back in the opposite direction to the desired duration: An acoustic signal will warn you when the countdown is finished.

USEFUL TIPS

HOW TO READ THE COOKING TABLE

The table lists the best function, accessories and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment the 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

Using the "Forced Air" function, you can cook different foods which require the same cooking temperature at the same time (for example: fish and vegetables), on different levels. Remove the food which requires a shorter cooking time and leave the food which requires a longer cooking time in the oven.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Do not use steam cleaning equipment.

Carry out the required operations with the oven cold.

Use protective gloves during all operations. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance.

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 of these 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 any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, allow the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
• Activate the "Diamond Clean" function for optimum cleaning of the internal surfaces.
• The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate cleaning of the glass. [WWW symbol]
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
• The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven.

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.

LOWERING THE UPPER HEATING ELEMENT

1. Extract the heating element from its seating, then lower it. [Diagram showing heating element being lowered]

2. To return the heating element to its position, lift it up, pull it slightly towards you and make sure that the tab support is in its proper seating. [Diagram showing heating element being returned to position]

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

1. To remove the door, open it fully and lower the catches until they are in the unlock position. [Diagram showing door catches being lowered]

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 (a) at the same time until it is released from its seating (b). [Diagram showing door removal]

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. [Diagram showing door refitting]

4. Lower the door and then open it fully. Lower the catches into their original position: Make sure that you lower them down completely. [Diagram showing catches being secured]

5. Try closing the door and check to make sure that it lines up with the control panel. If it does not, repeat the steps above.

CLICK & CLEAN - CLEANING THE GLASS

1. After removing the door and resting it on a soft surface with the handle downwards, simultaneously press the two retaining clips and remove the upper edge of the door by pulling it towards you. [Diagram showing glass removal clips]

2. Lift and firmly hold the inner glass with both hands, remove it and place it on a soft surface before cleaning it. [Diagram showing inner glass removal]

3. To reposition the internal glass properly, be sure that the "R" can be seen in the left corner. First insert the long side of the glass indicated by "R" into the support seats, then lower it into position. [Diagram showing inner glass repositioning]

4. Refit the upper edge: A click will indicate correct positioning. Make sure the seal is secure before refitting the door. [Diagram showing upper edge refitting]
