HOOVER OVEN USER INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Indications

• When opening the door after cooking, a few drops of water may emerge.
• Moisture condensation inside the oven cavity or on the door glass during cooking is normal. Wait 10-15 minutes after turning on the power before cooking to reduce this effect. Condensation disappears when the oven reaches cooking temperature.
• Cook vegetables in a lidded container instead of an open tray.
• Avoid leaving food inside the oven for more than 15/20 minutes after cooking.
• ⚠️ WARNING: The appliance and accessible parts become hot during use. Be careful not to touch hot parts.
• ⚠️ WARNING: Accessible parts can become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept at a safe distance.
• ⚠️ WARNING: Ensure the appliance is switched off before replacing the bulb to avoid electric shocks.
• ⚠️ WARNING: To avoid danger from accidental resetting of the thermal interruption device, do not power the appliance via an external switching device (e.g., timer) or connect it to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off.
• Children under 8 should be kept at a safe distance if not continuously supervised.
• Children should not play with the appliance.
• The appliance can be used by those aged 8 or over and by individuals with limited physical, sensorial, or mental capacities, or lack of experience/knowledge, only if supervised or instructed on safe operation and potential risks.
• Cleaning and maintenance should not be carried out by unsupervised children.
• Do not use rough, abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers on oven door glasses, as they can scratch and shatter the glass.
• The oven must be switched off before removing removable parts. Reassemble according to instructions after cleaning.
• Only use the meat probe recommended for this oven.
• Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning.
• Connect the power cable to a plug bearing the correct voltage, current, and load, with an earth contact. The socket must be suitable for the indicated load and have a functional earth connection (yellow-green conductor). This should be done by a qualified professional. If the socket is incompatible, have it substituted by a qualified electrician. The plug and socket must comply with current norms of the installation country. Connection can also be made via an omnipolar breaker suitable for the load and legislation. The earth cable must not be interrupted by the breaker. The socket or breaker should be easily accessible.
• Disconnection can be achieved via an accessible plug or a switch in the fixed wiring, according to wiring rules.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a cable or bundle from the manufacturer or customer service. The cable type must be H05V2V2-F and replacement by a qualified professional. The earth conductor (yellow-green) should be approx. 10 mm longer. For repairs, contact Customer Care and request original spare parts.
• Failure to comply can compromise safety and invalidate the guarantee.
• Remove excess spilled material before cleaning.
• A prolonged power supply failure during cooking may cause monitor malfunction; contact customer service.
• The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door to avoid overheating.
• When placing a shelf, ensure the stop is directed upwards and at the back of the cavity. The shelf must be inserted completely.
• ⚠️ WARNING: Do not line oven walls with aluminium foil or single-use protection. Direct contact with hot enamel risks melting and deteriorating the enamel.
• ⚠️ WARNING: Never remove the oven door seal.
• ⚠️ CAUTION: Do not refill the cavity bottom with water during cooking or when the oven is hot.
• No additional operation/setting is required for the appliance to operate at rated frequencies.
• ⚠️ WARNING: Before initiating the automatic cleaning cycle: Clean the oven door; Remove large/coarse food residues with a damp sponge (no detergents); Remove all accessories and sliding rack kit; Do not place tea towels.
• For ovens with a meat probe, close the hole with the provided nut before the cleaning cycle. Always close the hole when the meat probe is not used.
• During pyrolytic cleaning, surfaces heat up more than usual; children must be kept at a safe distance.

General Instructions

Thank you for choosing one of our products. For the best results with your oven, read this manual carefully and retain it for future reference. Before installing, note the serial number for customer service. After unpacking, check for transport damage. If in doubt, do not use the oven and consult a qualified technician. Keep packaging material out of reach of children. When first switched on, the oven may emit smoke due to insulation panel glue heating up; this is normal. Wait for smoke to dissipate before cooking. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage from non-observance of instructions.

? NOTE: Oven functions, properties, and accessories may vary by model.

1.1 Safety Indications

Use the oven only for its intended purpose (cooking food). Any other use (e.g., as a heat source) is improper and dangerous. The manufacturer is not liable for damage from improper use.

General electrical safety rules:

• Do not pull the power cable to disconnect the plug.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.
• Avoid using adaptors, multi-sockets, and extension cables.
• In case of malfunction, switch off the appliance and do not tamper with it.

1.2 Electrical Safety

ENSURE THAT AN ELECTRICIAN OR QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MAKES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. The power supply must conform to laws in force in the country of installation. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage from non-compliance. The oven must connect to an earthed wall outlet or a multi-pole disconnector. The supply should be protected by suitable fuses, and cables must have adequate cross-section.

CONNECTION: The oven has a power cable for connection to a 220-240 Vac supply. Check:

• Power voltage.
• Disconnector setting.

The grounding wire must connect to the power supply's earth terminal.

⚠️ WARNING: Before connecting, have a qualified electrician check the continuity of the power supply's earth terminal. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents due to improper or defective earth connections.

? NOTE: Keep another wall socket available for maintenance. The power cable must only be substituted by technical service staff or qualified technicians.

1.3 Recommendations

Minimal cleaning after each use helps maintain cleanliness. Do not line oven walls with aluminium foil or store-bought protection, as it can melt and damage the enamel. To prevent excessive dirt and smells, avoid very high temperatures; extend cooking time and lower temperature instead. Use dishes and baking moulds resistant to high temperatures.

1.4 Installation

The manufacturer is not obligated to perform installation. Assistance for faults from incorrect installation is not covered by warranty. Follow installation instructions for qualified personnel strictly. Incorrect installation can cause harm. The oven can be placed high, in a column, or under a worktop. Ensure good ventilation in the oven space for cooling and internal part protection. Make specified openings as per fitting type.

1.5 Waste management and environmental protection

This appliance is labelled according to European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE). WEEE contains pollutants and reusable elements. Specific treatments are required for proper disposal and material recovery. Individuals play a role in preventing WEEE from becoming an environmental problem by following basic rules:

• WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste.
• Take WEEE to designated collection points managed by the town council or a registered company.

For large WEEE, home collection services may be available. When buying a new appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor free of charge if it's of equivalent type and function.

SAVING AND RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT: Avoid pre-heating the oven and try to fill it. Open the door as infrequently as possible. Switch off the oven 5-10 minutes before the end of cooking and use residual heat. Keep seals clean to avoid heat dispersal. Use the "delayed cooking" program for energy saving with hourly tariffs.
