! Ovens with a three-pole power supply cable are
designed to operate with alternated current at the
supply frequency and voltage indicated on the data
plate (at the bottom of the oven dashboard). The
earthing conductor of the cable is the yellow-green
conductor.

Fit a normalized plug to the cable, which corresponds
to the load indicated on the data plate; if the cooker is
connected directly to the mains, an omnipolar circuit-
breaker with a minimum opening of 3 mm between the
contacts, suitable for the load indicated and
complying with current directives, must be installed
between the appliance and the mains (the earthing
wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker).
The power supply cable must be positioned so that it
does not exceed room temperature by 50°C at any
point of its length. Before making the connection
check that:
• the circuit breakers or fuses of the home system
can support appliance load (see data plate);
• the power supply system has an efficient earthing
connection which complies with the provisions of
current regulations and the law;

Start-up and use
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may
produce a slightly unpleasant odour caused by the
burning away of protective substances used during
the manufacturing process.
Cooling ventilation
GB
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that
blows out air between the control panel and the oven
door.
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling
fan remains on until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Starting the oven
Oven light
with the SELECTOR
It goes on when selecting
knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the VARIABLE
GRILL knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking
modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see
Cooking Modes).
3. When preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT
indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR
knob.
How to use the timer
*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise
almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the knob with the
indicator on the control panel.
3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected
time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.
- change the temperature by turning the VARIABLE
GRILL knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to
avoid damaging the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Practical cooking advice
GB
! GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
Thermostatically controlled oven (Fan Assisted
Mode)
! In the GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping pan
in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or
grease).
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol
the fan and oven light
will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen
food. Rotating further to the complete range of
temperatures shown on the dial you can choose
which is most suitable for the food you are going to
cook. The temperature is reached automatically and
controlled by the oven thermostat (from 60°C to
MAX).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power
level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional VARIABLE
GRILL knob must be set with “MAX” in line with the
reference mark on the control panel.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
GRILL mode
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan
(prevents crust from forming by extending cooking
time).
The top heating element comes on. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high temperature on the surface: such as
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode
with the oven door partially open.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
To operate the grill:
1. Turn the oven SELECTOR knob clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on
the control panel. The element is now “on”.
2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated
to select the required heat.

Maintenance and care
Switching the appliance off
3. Grip the door on the two
external sides and close it
approximately half way. Then
pull the door towards you
lifting it out of its seat (see
diagram).
GB
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
To replace the door, reverse
this sequence.
• The stainless-steel or enamel-coated external
parts as well as the rubber seals may be cleaned
using a sponge that has been soaked in
lukewarm water and neutral soap. If these stains
are difficult to remove, use only specialised
products. After cleaning, rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
Inspecting the seals
Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
After-sales Service Centre (see Assistance). We
recommend not using the oven until the seals have
been replaced.
• Ideally, the inside of the oven should be cleaned
after each use, when it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
Replacing the light bulb
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).
To replace the oven light bulb:
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
Cleaning the oven door
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
To clean more thoroughly, you can remove the oven
door.
1. Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.
2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar
one: Wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
1. Open the oven door fully
(see diagram)
3. Replace the glass cover (see diagram).
