USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
- Put the shelf and the tray in the oven.
- Switch the oven on when it is empty (on any cooking function – NOT SELF CLEANING) at
maximum power for about 2 hours to remove traces of grease and smells from the com-
ponents.
- When the oven has cooled down and the appliance, unplugged clean the inside of the oven
with a cloth soaked in water and neutral detergent and dry it completely.
WARNING:
The door is hot, use the handle.
NOTES ON OVEN WORKING
A cooling fan starts automatically when selecting a cooking or self cleaning mode.
It stops when turning the selector knob to OFF or light or defrosting position and
th inside oven cavity temperature drops below 100 °C (212 °F).
The purpose of this fan is to reduce the temperature inside/outside the appliance.
Note: The first time the oven is used or after a black-out the program must be started
by pressing keys 2 and 3 simultaneously. See the section on the use of the electronic
programmer.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
Heating and cooking in the multifunction self cleaning oven takes place as follows:
by normal convection
The heat is produced by the upper and lower heating elements.
by forced convection
The heat produced by the circular element is distributed throughout the oven by the
fan.
by radiation
The heat is radiated by the infra red broil element.
by radiation and fan
The radiated heat from the infra red broil element is distributed throughout the oven
by the fan.
by double radiation and fan
The fan distributes the heat radiated by the broil heating element and the upper heat-
ing element in the oven.
by ventilation
The food is defrosted by using the fan only function without heat.
by self cleaning
The heat produced by the heating elements cleans the internal oven cavity removing
all residue of grease.
THIS IS NOT A COOKING FUNCTION
GENERAL FEATURES
The oven has special operating features.
Five different functions can be used to satisfy all cooking needs; it also has a self clean-
ing function which can clean the oven cavity at high temperature, a defrost function and
an oven light function.
These functions are managed by an electronic programmer which keeps the tempera-
ture set constant by means of a probe inside the oven cavity.
The oven has the following heating elements:
- Lower heating element (double) 500 + 1300 W
- Upper heating element 1000 W
- Grill heating element 2000 W
- Circular heating element 2200 W
Attention: the oven door becomes
very hot during operation.
Keep children away.
VERY IMPORTANT
The oven shall be used always
with the door closed.
WHEN THE SELF CLEANING
MODE HAS BEEN COMPLETED:
• do not start immediately a new
self cleaning cycle: LET THE
OVEN TO COOL DOWN.
