Caution! Do not use abrasive cleaning products on the glass front panel.

Replacement of the Oven Light Bulb

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before any maintenance. Allow the oven and heating elements to cool.

• Unscrew the protective cover. Wash and dry the glass cover.
• Carefully remove the old bulb and insert a new G9 fitting bulb (220-240V, 50Hz, 25W) suitable for high temperatures (300°C).
• Refit the protective cover.

IMPORTANT: Use only your hand to remove the light cover. Never use screwdrivers or other utensils. Replace the bulb with clean hands or gloves.

Note: Bulb replacement is not covered by the warranty.

Door Removal

To facilitate cleaning, the oven door can be removed.

• Tilt the safety catch part of the hinge upwards.
• Close the door lightly, lift, and pull it towards you.
• To refit, reverse the process, ensuring the hinge notch is correctly placed on the hinge holder. Lower the safety catch carefully. Failure to set the safety catch may damage the hinge when closing the door.

Removal of the Internal Glass Panel

Unscrew and unfasten the plastic latch at the top corner of the door. Remove the glass panel from the blocking mechanism. After cleaning, reinsert and secure the glass panel and blocking mechanism.

Diagrams show the removal process for different model series.

Operation in Case of Emergency

In an emergency:

• Switch off all working units of the oven.
• Call the service center.

Refer to the table for minor faults:

Baking in the Oven

Baking Pastry

The most appropriate position is with upper and lower heater, or hot air. Baking parameters are approximate and can be adjusted based on experience.

Warning! If a specific cake type is not listed, use information for the closest similar type.

Baking with upper and lower heaters

• Use a single guide level.
• This position is suitable for dry pastry, bread, and teacakes. Use dark baking pans for better browning.
• Always place baking pans on the grid rack. Remove the grid only for baking in the flat biscuit tray.
• Preheating shortens baking time. Do not place the cake in the oven until the proper temperature is obtained.

Baking Tips

• Is pastry baked? Pierce with a wooden peg. If dough doesn't stick, it's baked. You can switch off the oven and use residual heat.
• Pastry has fallen: Check the recipe. Use less fluid next time and follow mixing times.
• Pastry is too light below: Use a dark baking pan, place the pan one level lower, or switch on the lower heater briefly before completion.
• Cheesecake is undercooked: Reduce baking temperature and extend baking time.

Warnings Regarding Baking Tables

• Tables indicate temperature ranges; always select the lower temperature first.
• Baking times are indicative and may vary.
• An asterisk (*) indicates that the oven requires preheating.

Baking Table

Roasting in the Oven

Roasting

Best results are obtained with upper and lower heating. The best heating mode for each type of roasting pan is indicated in the Roasting Tables.

Tips Regarding Roasting Pans

• Use light enamel pans, temperature-resistant glass pans, clay dishes, or wrought iron dishes.
• Stainless steel dishes are not recommended as they reflect heat excessively.
• Cover your roast or wrap it in foil to preserve juices and keep the oven cleaner.
• Leaving the pan uncovered will cook the roast faster. Roast large chunks of meat directly on the grid, with an intercepting pan underneath.
• Never leave the roast to cool in the oven, as this can cause dew and corrosion.

Attention When Roasting!

• Roasting tables suggest temperatures, guide levels, and roasting times. Roasting time varies with meat type, size, and quality.
• Roasting large meat chunks may cause steaming and dew formation on the oven door, which is normal. Wipe the oven door and glass after roasting.
• Roasting red meat, poultry, and fish is recommended for pieces exceeding 1kg.
• Add sufficient liquid to prevent burning of juices. Monitor the roast and add liquid as needed.
• Turn the roast halfway through, especially if using a deep roast dish.
• When roasting on the grill grid, place the grid in the deep roasting pan and insert into the sliding guide. The bottom pan will catch dripping fat.
