Installation
Important: The power supply to the appliance must be
cut off before any adjustments or maintenance work is
done on it.
Unpacking
560 mm.
Remove the outer packing from the oven. Open the door
outwards and remove packing from the shelves.Take out
the plastic envelope containing instruction book, guarantee
card and 4 fixing screws.
Installation of Built-in Ovens
In order to insure that the built-in appliance functions
properly, the cabinet containing it must be appropriate.
The figure below gives the dimensions of the cutout for
installation under the counter or in a cabinet wall unit.
To fasten the oven to the cabinet, open the door of the
oven and fasten it by inserting the 4 wood screws into the
4 holes locate on the perimeter of the frame.
The panels of the adjacent cabinets must be made of
heat resistant material.In particular, cabinets with a veneer
exterior must be assembled with glues able to withstand
temperatures of up to 100°C.
Once the appliance has been installed, the electrical parts
must be totally protected from all contact, according to
current safety regulations.
All protecting parts should be firmly fixed and should
require the use of a tool for removal.
When installing below a built-in hob, ensure that there are
air inlets and outlets for ventilating the interior of the cabinet
adequately. Assembly examples are given in figs.
Electrical connection
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.
In order to ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of
the cabinet must be removed.Installing the oven so that it
rests on two strips of wood is preferable.In the case where
the oven rests on a continuous, flat surface, there must
be an aperture of at least 45 x 560 mm.
Two types of connection are provided:
Connection n° 1
Connecting the power supply cable to the mains.
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-
4
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 tem-
perature by 50°C at any point of its length. Before making
the connection check that:
Connect Green &Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or
or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” or coloured
Red.Connect Blue wire to terminal marked “N”or coloured
Black. If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is used it must be fitted
with a 13 amp fuse.
A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp fuse, either
in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.If you
are in any doubt about the electrical supply to your
machine, consult a qualified electrician before use.

Instructions for use
The different functions offered by the oven are selected
3.The grill
by operating the controls and devices situated on the oven
panel.
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: Max
The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red ray grill.
The rather high and direct temperature of the grill permits
browning the outside of meats immediately thus keeping
in the juices and assuring tenderness.
Attention: before using the oven and grill for the first time,
turn the oven on for approximately one half hour. Make
sure that the oven is empty, the thermostat on high, the
door open, and the room properly ventilated. The odor
which can be detected at times is due to the evaporation
off the substances used to protect the oven and the grill
during the period between the and installation of the
appliance.
4.The double grill
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: Max
The oven light turns on and so does the double heating
element of the grill. This grill is larger than the average
and has a completely new design: cooking performance
is increased 50%. The double grill makes sure that even
the corners are touched by heat.
Attention: Only use the bottom shelf of the oven when
using the rotisserie to cook (where present). For all other
types of cooking, never use the bottom shelf and never
place anything on the bottom of the oven when it is in
operation because this could damage the enamel.Always
place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc. etc.) on
the grate provided with the appliance inserted especially
along the oven guides.
The oven-operating pilot lamp (G)
Signals when the oven is heating.It switches off when the
temperature inside the oven reached the temperature
selected by the knob. At this point the alternate turning on
and turning off of this light indicates that the thermostat is
operating correctly to keep the oven temperature constant.
The oven knobs
With these two controls you can select the different
functions of the oven and choose the cooking temperatu-
re suitable for the food you are preparing. The different
cooking functions are set up by operating the two knobs:
Handle
Attention: when the oven is on steam escapes from the
slot on the right end of the handle. Keep hands away from
this area.For ovens with tubular handles, there is a special
protective device which is fitted during cooking to keep
steam away from the front of the cooker.
E - the selection knob (identified by the symbol
)
F - the thermostat knob (identified by the symbol
) on
the oven panel.
For any selection-knob setting different from idle, identified
1
by the “0”, the oven light turns on;the knob setting marked
permits turning on the oven light without any heating
element being switched on.

1. Coventional
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: anywhere between 60°C and Max
The oven light turns on and the top and bottom heating
elements (resistors) switch on.The temperature, fixed by
the thermostat knob, is reached automatically and kept
constant by the thermostat control. This function permits
cooking and type of food thanks to excellent temperature
distribution.
Forced Air Ventilation
In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven,
some models have been equipped with a cooling fan which
comes on when the "E" knob is turned to a cooking setting.
The fan remains on during the cooking process and a flow
of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the
control panel.
2. Pastry
- Knob “E” setting:
- Knob “F” setting: anywhere between 60°C and Max
Note: When cooking is over, the fan remains on for a few
minutes, in order to enable the oven to cool down quickly.
The oven light turns on and so does the bottom heating
element. The temperature, fixed by the thermostat knob,
is reached automatically and kept constant. This setting
is recommended for finishing the cooking of foods (placed
in pans) that are well done on the outside but still not done
inside or for desserts covered with fruit or jam which require
a light browning on top. Note that this function does not
permit reaching the maximum (250°C) temperature inside
for cooking foods always on this oven setting unless the
foods are cakes which only require temperatures below
or equal to 180°C.
3rd glass-door
You can buy a special kit to reduce door temperature when
the oven is on and save energy. If there are little children
in the house, this kit is a must. The kit code number is
074657 and it may be purchased for installation from an
authorised dealer or aTechnical Assistance Service centre
indicated in the list included with the appliance documents.

Recommendations for baking in the oven
When using the oven, only one rack or dripping-pan should
Pastry is too dark on top
be used at a time.The rack or pan should be inserted into
the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food
needs more heat from the top or bottom.
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required
for leavened foods), we recommend using the
"conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to
reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After
the oven has been preheated, the red indicator light (G)
will turn off. At this point, you can select the most suitable
setting to cook the dish.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from
drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use
low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat
that should be well done on the outside while tender and
juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high

the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then
turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the
roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat
on the centre of the rack and place the dripping pan
beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
Using the Grill
The oven allows you to use two different grilling methods.
Use the
“grill” setting for small portions. Energy
consumption for this feature is only 1200 W; however, it is
ideal for grilling small dishes or portions, e.g. toast,
frankfurters, etc.
Place the food in the centre of the grill, as only the centre
of the heating element is turned on.Food in the corners of
the oven will not be cooked.
Cooking Pastries
Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not
open the door in order to prevent the pastry from dropping.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the
cooking time is not excessive. In general:
The
“double grill” setting allows you to grill along the
entire surface area of the grill itself.Use this feature when
you have food distributed uniformly beneath the grill.
Important:grilling must be done with the door partially
open to avoid increasing the grilling time.
When using the grill settings, it is recommended that the
thermostat be set to maximum, as this is the optimal setting
for the grill, which utilizes radiation produced by infrared
rays.However, this does not mean that lower temperature
settings cannot be used when necessary.
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels
(see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and prevent
smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.

thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
·
·
·
Unplug the oven from the mains;
Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;
Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to
high temperatures (300°C) with the following
characteristics:
·
·
·
the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substance which could ruin them;
the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time.After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
