USEFUL TIPS
If the walls of the oven are so thickly coated in grease that the
catalytic lining is no longer effective remove surplus grease with
a soft cloth or sponge soaked in hot water.
The lining must be porous for self-cleaning to be effective.
N.B.: All catalytic linings currently on the market have a working
life of about 300 hours. They should therefore be replaced after
about 300 hours.
SHELF SAFETY SYSTEM
The oven features a new shelf
safety system.
This allows you to pull out the
oven shelves when inspecting
the food without danger of food
spillages or shelves falling
accidentally out of the oven.
To remove the shelves pull out
and lift.
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 on the proportions of the food (see fig.
page 11).
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.
COOKING TIME
For recommended cooking times and temperatures the first time
you use the oven, refer to the tables on pages 11, 12. You may
then wish to vary these times and settings in the light of your own
experience.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the stainless steel and enamelled surfaces with warm,
soapy water or with suitable brand products. On no account use
abrasive powders that may damage surfaces and ruin the oven’s
appearance. It is very important to clean the oven each time that
it is used. Melted fat is deposited on the sides of the oven during
cooking. The next time the oven is used this fat could cause
unpleasant odours and might even jeopardise the success of the
cooking. Use hot water and detergent to clean; rinse out thoroughly.
To make this chore unnecessary all models can be lined with
catalytic self-cleaning panels: these are supplied as an optional
extra (see the section SELF-CLEANING OVEN - CATALYTIC
LINING).
Use detergents and abrasive metal pads like «brillo pads» for the
stainless steel grills.
The glass surfaces as the top, oven door and warming compartment
door must be cleaned when they are cold. Damage that occurs
to them because this rule was not adhered to are not covered by
the guarantee.
To replace the interior light: switch off the mains power supply and
unscrew bulb. Replace with an identical bulb that can withstand
very high temperatures.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN - CATALYTIC LINING
Special self-cleaning panels covered in a micro-porous coating
are available as optional extras for all models. If they are fitted,
the oven no longer needs to be cleaned by hand.
The fat that is splattered onto the sides of the oven during roasting
is eliminated by the microporous coating which breaks the fat
down by catalysis and transforms it into gas.
Excessive splattering may nevertheless block the pores and
therefore hinder self-cleaning. The self-cleaning capacity may be
restored by switching on the empty oven to maximum for about
10-20 minutes.
Do not use abrasive products, metal cleaning wads, sharp objects,
rough cloths, or chemical products and detergents that may
permanently damage the catalytic lining.
It is a good idea to use deep roasting trays to roast fatty foods
such as joints of meat etc. and to put a tray underneath the grill
to catch surplus fat.
FOLD DOWN GRILL
NB: For cleaning instructions please refer to the section entitled
cleaning and maintenance.
WARNING: the oven must only be used when the grill in its correct
position.
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
(see fig. on last page).
The oven is supplied with a guarantee certificate that ensures that
it will be repaired free of charge by the Service Centre.
For routine cleaning access can
be gained to the upper parts of
the oven by removing the screw
and washer (A) from the middle
of the grill element and then
gently tilting the element in a
downward direction.
Once cleaned the grill can be
returned to the correct position
by reversing the above procedure.
