OVENS USER INSTRUCTIONS
General warnings Thank you for choosing one of our products. To get the most out of your oven we recommend that you: Read the notes in this manual carefully: they contain important instructions on how to install, use and service this oven safely. Keep this booklet in a safe place for easy, future reference. When the oven is first switched on it may give out acrid smelling fumes. This is because the bonding agent for insulating panels around the oven has been heated up for the first time.
USEFUL TIPS Grilling Grilling makes it possible to give food a rich brown colour quickly. For browning we recommend that you insert the grill onto the fourth level, depending in the proportions of the food (pag. 8). Almost all food can be cooked under the grill except for very lean game and meat rolls. Meat and fish that are going to be grilled should first be lightly doused with oil.
Service centre Before calling the Service Centre If the oven is not working, we recommend that: — you check that the oven is properly plugged into the power supply. If the cause of the fault cannot be detected: disconnect the oven from the mains, do not touch the oven and call the after sales service. Before calling the Service Centre remember to make a note of the serial number on the serial number specifications plate.

IMPORTANT If the oven is to work properly, the kitchen housing must be suitable. The panels of the kitchen unit that are next to the oven must be made of a heat resistant material. Ensure that the glues of units made of veneered wood can withstand temperatures of at least 120 °C. Plastics or glues that cannot withstand such temperatures will melt and deform the unit. Once the oven has been lodged inside the unit, the electrical parts must be completely insulated. This is a legal safety requirement.
- Operations to be carried out to make the connection: • Open the cover located behind the oven • The oven must be in situation as shown: • Choose the supply cord in accordance with the recommendations in the table • Pass the supply cord into the clamp. • Strip the end of each conductor of the supply cord a 10 mm length, by taking in account the cord for the connection on the terminal block. • According to the installation, fix the conductor as shown on the chart.
COOKING TIPS Temperatures and cooking times are given for information only to facilitate using the oven. Personal experience should then let you adapt these settings to your taste and habits. Remember that cooking at higher temperatures causes more spattering, and the oven can become dirty and smoky. It is better to slightly reduce the cooking temperature, even if it means increasing the cooking time. The sides of the oven are equipped with different positions numbered from the bottom.
COOKING TIPS MEAT It is better not to salt meats until after cooking as salt encourages the meat to spatter fat. This will dirty the oven and make a lot of smoke. Joints of white meat, pork, veal, lamb and fish can be put into the oven cold. The cooking time is longer than in a preheated oven, but it cooks through to the centre better as the heat has more time to penetrate the joint. Correct preheating is the basis of successful red meat cookery.

Avoid using shiny tins, they reflect the heat and can spoil your cakes. If your cakes brown too quickly, cover them with grease-proof paper or aluminium foil. Caution: the correct way to use foil is with the shiny side in towards the cake. If not the heat is reflected by the shiny surface and does not penetrate the food. Avoid opening the door during the first 20 to 25 minutes of cooking: soufflés, brioches, sponge cakes, etc. will tend to fall.
