REMOVING AND REFITTING THE SHELF GUIDES
1. To remove the shelf guides, firmly grip the external part of the guide, and pull it towards you to extract the support and the two internal pins from the lodging.
2. To reposition the shelf guides, position them near the cavity and initially insert the two pins into their lodgings. Next, position the external part near its lodging, insert the support, and firmly press towards the wall of the cavity to make sure the shelf guide is properly secured.

USING THE GRILLING ACCESSORY Grilling Accessory is compatible with Grill and Turbogrill functions, enabling you achieve the best results grilling a variety of foods. For optimal performance, refer to the cooking table. Arrange food in a single layer inside each grill basket. Insert the lid at the back of the basket, placing it at the appropriate height (depending on the food thickness), then adjust it at the front. Consider a possible shrinkage during cooking, to keep the food stable while turning the grill baskets. Insert the designated frame within the oven (at level 4), then place the grill baskets on the frame. To avoid smoke and to collect residual fat, pour 200 ml of water in a baking tray and place it within the oven (at level 1). Halfway through cooking, turn the grill baskets using the handle provided. When cooking is about to end, check the food. If needed, you can turn the food again, as many times as necessary, until it reaches the desired degree of doneness and browning.

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, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge. · The door can be easily removed and refitted to facilitate cleaning of the glass.
· Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
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.

REMOVING AND REFITTING THE DOOR

a

1. To remove the door, open

it fully and lower the

b

catches until they are in the

unlock position.

~15°

2. Close the door as much

as you can. Take a firm hold b of the door with both hands

­ do not hold it by the

handle. Simply remove the

a

door by continuing to close

it while pulling it upwards

at the same time until it is

released from its seating. 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.

a

4. Lower the door and then

b

open it fully. Lower the catches into their original

position: Make sure that

you lower them down

completely.

Apply gentle pressure to check that the catches are in the correct position.
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: The door could become damaged if it does not work properly.

REPLACING THE LAMP 1. Disconnect the oven from the power supply. 2. Unscrew the cover from the light, replace the bulb and screw the cover back on the light. 3. Reconnect the oven to the power supply.

Please note: Use 25 W/230 V type G9, T300 °C halogen lamps. The bulb used in the product is specifically designed for domestic appliances and is not suitable for general room lighting within the home (EC Regulation 244/2009).
Light bulbs are available from our After-sales Service. - Do not handle bulbs with your bare hands as your fingerprints could damage them. Do not use the oven until the light cover has been refitted.

CLEANING OF THE DOOR GLASSES
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.

3. Refit the intermediate pane (marked with "1R")
before refitting the inside pane: To position the panes of glass correctly, make sure that the "R" mark can be seen in the left-hand corner. First insert the long side of the glass marked "R" into the support seats, then lower it into position. Repeat this procedure for both panes of glass.

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

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

CLEANING THE CATALYTIC PANELS

This oven is equipped with special catalytic liners that facilitate cleaning of the cooking compartment thanks to their special self-cleaning coating, which is highly porous and ablt to absorb grease and grime. These panels are fitted to the shelf guides: when repositioning and then refitting the shelf guides, make sure that the hooks at the top are slotted into the appropriate holes in the panels.

To make best use of the catalytic panels self-cleaning properties, we recommend heating the oven to 200 °C for around one hour using the "Convection Bake" function. The oven must be empty during this time. Then leave the oven to cool down before removing any remaining food residues using a non-abrasive sponge.
Please note: Using corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents, stiff brushes, pan scourers or oven sprawys could damage the catalytic surface and compromise its self-cleaning properties. Please contact our After-Sales Service if you require replacement panels.
