Steam cooking How to use the water tank 1. Select the “steam” function . 2. Begin extracting the tank in the direction shown in Fig. 22. Fig. 22 3. Continue to extract it as far as it will come (Fig. 23). Fig. 23 4. Fill the tank with water until the “Tank full warning light” comes on. Then start to close the tank by pressing on the centre of the lid (Fig. 24). 5. To close the tank, press it down until it returns to its original position. Fig.
Tank full light Indicates that the oven is ready for steam cooking. Tank empty light Indicates that the tank is empty and that therefore steam cooking cannot be done. How to prepare the oven for steam cooking For steam cooking it is essential to fill the water tank. To fill it, pull out the water loading draw (follow the instructions on page 17) and pour water into the tank with a graduated jug (Fig. 25) until the “tank full” light comes on.
How to use steam cooking ) For steam cooking, proceed as follows: 1. Before every steam cooking, fill the tank as shown on page 17. The amount of 800 cc (0,8 lt) of water is enough for about 40/45 of cooking time. 2. Then prepare the food in pots suitable to be used in the oven, position them on the grill (Fig. 27) at the height suggested in the cooking tables. The 2° level from the bottom usually gives the best results. 3. Select the “steam” function . 4. Select a temperature between 130°C and 230°C.
Accessories for steam cooking The accessories for steam cooking (available for purchase in a separate kit) offer the opportunity to expand the field of steam cooking, allowing you, for example, to experiment with specific ways of cooking vegetables, fish, etc. The accessories include: - a dietary baking-pan consisting of two half-shells made out of special glass with a recess for the passage of a steam injector (Fig.
Advice on usign the oven Oven levels The side walls of the oven have LEVELS for adjusting the shelf height (Fig. 31). 4 3 Take care not to damage the enamelled parts of the oven when inserting and removing the drip-tray and shelf. Always cook with the oven door closed. • • • 2 1 Fig. 31 Always use oven gloves to remove and place food in the oven. The oven cooks at temperatures of 30°C to 250°C. Therefore, use recipients able to withstand such temperatures (e.g.
• • 22 Never place objects on the bottom of the oven or cover it with aluminium foil while cooking, since this may damage the enamel and spoil the food being cooked. Always place recipients, ovenware and aluminium foil on the grill specially inserted on the oven guides. When cooking with fats or oils (e.g. fried foods), make sure the sauces do not overheat: in fact, these substances can catch fire if brought to high temperatures.
Advice for cooking meat and fish Meat can be arranged in oven-proof cookware, or placed directly on the grill. In the latter case, ALWAYS pour a little water in the drip-tray and insert it on the guides under the grill. The drip-tray will collect the fats melted during cooking, and the water prevents the fats from burning and producing unpleasant odours or smoke.
Fan Cooking The air inside the oven is heated by the element around the fan situated behind the back panel. The fan circulates hot air to maintain an even temperature inside the oven. The advantages of cooking with this function are: - Faster Preheating As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5-7 minutes on cooking times.
Top Heat This function is suitable for finishing cooked dishes, e.g. lasagne, shepherds pie, cauliflower cheese etc. Bottom Heat This function is particularly useful when blindbaking pastry. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked through. Grilling - Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air and to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
1. Switch the oven ON. 2. Select the Thermal Grill Oven Function by pressing the Oven Function control button until the symbol appears on the display. 3. If necessary, press “ “ or “ “ buttons. to adjust the temperature setting. 4. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food and follow the instructions for grilling.
Shelf supports Replaceable telescopic runners Place the telescopic runner with the locking system on the chosen level as shown in the side pictures. The „stop elements“ at the extremities of the runner MUST face upwards. It is possible to buy telescopic runners separately. 1 Each level can be fitted with telescopic runners to allow for an easier operation when inserting or removing the shelves. - Pull the right and left hand telescopic shelf - supports completely out, as shown in the picture.

Tank cleaning As with all apparatus that use water (for example, irons), it is entirely normal that lime deposits should form in your oven. After having used it for steam cooking a number of times, the lime deposits inside the tank and may cause a reduction of the steam itself. After about 6 months of operation it is likely that a certain quantity of lime will have deposited. It is therefore advisable to proceed with a thorough cleaning of the parts of the oven that generate the steam.
What to do if something does not work Some operating problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, and can easily be fixed without calling out a service engineer. SYMPTOM THE OVEN DOES NOT WORK. SOLUTION Make sure you have paid great attention to the oven use instructions. or Check the electrical system safety switches (“protection switch”).

All the parts ensuring protection, and also a possible covering panel (e.g.
Fixing to the cabinet • Insert the appliance in the compartment. • Open the oven door and fix the oven body to the cabinet with four wood screws (B - see fig. 36) suitable for the holes specially provided in the external trim, inside which you will have inserted the spacers provided (A - see fig. 36). When also inserting a cooktop, the electrical connection of the top and the oven must be carried out separately, for electrical reasons and to facilitate possible removal of the oven from the cabinet.
Replacing the power cable The replacement of the power cable must be carried out exclusively by the service agent or personnel with similar qualifications. In case of replacement, only use cables of type H07 RN-F, H05 RN-F, H05 RR-F, H05 VV-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90), H05 BB-F (section 3 x 1.5 mm2), suitable for the load and the working temperature. Also, the yellow/green earth wire must be approx. 2 cm longer. than the phase and neutral wires.
Technical assistance and spare parts If the checks suggested in the previous section “What to do if something doesn’t work” are not useful for solving the problem, contact the nearest authorised Technical Assistance Centre, specifying the type of fault, appliance model (Mod.), the product number (Prod. no.) and serial number (Ser. no.), which are displayed on the oven dataplate.
