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.
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to
avoid damaging the enamel coating.
GB
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
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.

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 "Light/defrost" 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.

existing legislation when disposing of the old appliance.
•
When the appliance is in use, the heating
elements and some parts of the oven door
become extremely hot. Make sure you don't
touch them and keep children well away.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in
the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
• Ensure that the power supply cable of other electrical
appliances does not come into contact with the hot parts
of the oven.
• The openings used for ventilation and dispersion of heat
must never be covered.
• Always grip the oven door handle in the centre: the ends
may be hot.
• Always use oven gloves to place cookware in the oven or
when removing it.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
• Do not place flammable materials in the oven: if the
appliance is switched on by mistake, it could catch fire.
• By using the appliance in the hours between late afternoon
and early morning, you can help reduce the work load
placed on electrical companies.
• Always make sure the knobs are in the “l”/“¡” position
when the appliance is not in use.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure
they are free of debris so that they stick properly to the
door and do not allow heat to disperse.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from
the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

products. After cleaning, rinse and dry
To replace the oven light bulb:
thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
• 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.
• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery (even in your dishwasher).

2. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar
one: Wattage 25 W, cap E 14.
Cleaning the oven door
3. Replace the glass cover (see diagram).
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. Open the oven door fully (see diagram).
2. Lift up and turn the small levers located on the
two hinges (see diagram).
