4. USE OF THE OVEN  
 
 3 operations are required to switch the oven on: 
1st: make sure that the timer is turned to “”; 
2nd: turn the thermostat; 
3rd: turn the function selector to any function (the “lamp” setting does not 
switch on any heating elements). 
In models equipped with analogue digital timer, the user has only to 
press the central key for 1/2 seconds to enable use of the oven on first 
use or after a power blackout.   
4.1 Warnings and general advice 
Before using the oven for the first time, pre-heat it to maximum 
temperature (250°C) long enough to burn any manufacturing oily 
residues which could give the food a bad taste.  
  
During cooking, do not cover the bottom of the oven with aluminium or 
tin foil and do not place pans or oven trays on it as this may damage the 
enamel coating.  If you wish to use greaseproof paper, place it so that it 
will not interfere with the hot air circulation inside the oven.   
  
 To prevent any steam in the oven creating 
problems, open the door in two stages: half open 
(5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully 
open. To access food, always leave the door 
open as short a time as possible to prevent the 
temperature in the oven from falling and ruining 
the food. 
 
4.2 Cooling system 
The oven features cooling fan which switch on 
together with the oven. 
Fan operation causes a normal flow of air which 
exits at the bottom part of the oven front which 
may continue for a brief period of time even after 
the oven has been turned off. 
  
4.3 Oven light 
On all models, it is switched on by turning the thermostat knob and the 
function selector knob to any function. On some models it also switches 
on when the oven door is opened.

6. COOKING HINTS  
 
 In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above 
the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and 
reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.  
 
 Keep the oven door closed during cooking

50 ÷ 250°C   
 
This traditional cooking method, in which heat comes from above and 
below, is suitable for cooking food on a single level. You have to pre-
heat the oven until the set temperature is reached. Place the food in the 
oven only after the thermostat indicator light has turned off. very fatty 
meats may be put in when the oven is still cold. Put frozen meat in 
immediately, without waiting for it to thaw. The only precaution you need 
to take is to set the temperature about 20°C lower and cooking time 
about 1/4 longer than you would for fresh meat.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE   
  
 Before performing any operations requiring access to powered 
parts, switch off the power supply to the machine. 
 
7.1 Cleaning stainless steel  
  
 To keep stainless steel in good condition it should be cleaned regularly 
after use. Let it cool first. 
 7.1.1 Ordinary Daily Cleaning 
To clean and preserve the stainless steel surfaces, always use only 
specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. 
How to use: pour the product on a damp cloth and wipe the surface, 
rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin.  7.1.2 Food stains or residues 
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers: they will 
damage the surface.  
Use normal non-abrasive products for steel, and a wooden or 
plastic tool if necessary. 
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or deerskin. 
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set 
inside the oven.  If left to set for too long, they might damage 
the enamel lining of the oven. 
 
  
 
7.2 Cleaning of the oven (without self-cleaning panels)   
  
 For best oven upkeep clean regularly after having allowed to cool. Take 
out all removable parts.

Instructions for the user 
 
• DO NOT USE A STEAM JET FOR CLEANING THE INSIDE OF 
THE OVEN. 
• Clean the oven grill and side guides with hot water and non-abrasive 
detergent. Rinse and dry. 
• Clean the internal walls of the oven with a soft ammoniac-soaked 
cloth. Rinse and dry. If there are still stains or drops, place a damp 
ammoniac-soaked cloth on the bottom of the oven, close the door 
and after a few hours wash the oven with hot water and liquid 
detergent. Rinse and dry. 
• The oven should be operated at the maximum temperature for about 
15/20 minutes after using specific products, to eliminate the residues 
deposited inside the oven. 
• For easier cleaning, the door can be removed (see P. 8.2) 
  7.2.1 Self-cleaning liners 
  The oven is equipped with continuous self-cleaning enamelled liners. 
These liners make the oven easier to clean and ensure its efficiency over 
time. 
  7.2.2 Using the self-cleaning liners 
  Periodically, to prevent food residues and unpleasant smells from
accumulating inside the oven, the appliance should be operated empty at
temperatures of not less than 200°C for a time varying from 30 to 60 
minutes, in order to allow the self-cleaning liners to oxidise the residues
present; when the oven has cooled, these will then be removed with a
damp sponge 
  7.2.3 Looking after the self-cleaning liners 
  The liners should not be cleaned with abrasive creams or ordinary
detergents. Use a damp sponge only, so as not to damage the special
characteristics of the enamel which coats the liners. 
  7.2.4 Assembling the self-cleaning liners 
  1. Remove all accessories from the oven; 
2. Remove the side grilles (fig.1); 
3. Extract the side liners “F” and “G”(fig. 2); 
4. Remove the back panel “A” after undoing the threaded ring-nut “C” 
(fig. 2). 
5. Reassemble the panels, restoring them to their original position.
