Accessories:

• Not all accessories are included with all models.
• Accessories in contact with food comply with current legislation.
• Original accessories can be ordered from authorized assistance centers.
• Boiling rod: For use when heating liquids to prevent delayed boiling. Use only with Microwave functions.
• Rack: Supports food containers during cooking.
• Glass dish: For all types of cooking and collecting fat. Suitable for microwave cooking when placed on the lowered pan stand.
• Tray rack: Placed above the glass dish to collect drips.
• Deep tray: Collects fat and is suitable for pies, pizzas, and desserts. Can be used for combined microwave cooking but not for microwave-only cooking.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the appliance:

• Cleaning the surfaces: Clean regularly after use and cooling. Use specific non-abrasive products. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
• Food stains or residues: Do not use steel sponges or sharp scrapers. Use normal non-abrasive products and wooden/plastic tools. Rinse and dry. Do not let sugary residues dry, as they can damage the enamel.

Cleaning the oven cavity:

• Clean regularly after cooling. Avoid letting food residue dry. Remove all removable parts (door, rack/tray support frames) for easier cleaning.
• Run the oven at maximum temperature for 15-20 minutes to eliminate residues if using specific cleaning products.

Drying:

• After cooking, let the appliance cool, remove dirt, dry the interior with a soft cloth, and leave the door open to dry completely.

Removing rack/tray support frames:

To clean the sides more easily, remove the frames by unscrewing the front fixing pin, unhooking the frame from the front housing, and removing it from the rear pin. Refit by reversing the process.

Special cleaning functions:

• Vapor Clean (on some models only): An assisted cleaning procedure that softens dirt with heat and water vapor.

Preliminary operations for Vapor Clean:

• Remove all accessories, temperature probe, and self-cleaning panels.
• Pour approx. 120 cc of water into the oven floor.
• Spray a water and detergent solution inside the oven, avoiding self-cleaning deflectors.
• Wash removed self-cleaning panels separately.

Vapor Clean cycle setting:

Select the Vapor Clean function. The duration and temperature cannot be changed. Press the start button. An acoustic signal indicates the end. Turn the function knob to 0 to exit.

Programmed Vapor Clean cycle: The start time can be programmed similarly to cooking functions.

Vapor Clean End: Turn the function knob to 0. Wipe away dirt with a microfibre cloth. Use a non-scratch sponge for hard deposits. Use specific oven cleaners for grease. Remove residual water. Replace panels and frames. For hygiene, dry the oven with a fan-assisted function at 160°C for 10 minutes, or use a catalytic cycle if self-cleaning panels are fitted. Wear rubber gloves.

INSTALLATION
