Overview

This document provides user instructions for Candy ovens, covering safety, product description, usage, cleaning, maintenance, troubleshooting, and installation.

Safety Indications

The oven is designed for cooking food. Any other use, such as a heat source, is considered improper and potentially dangerous. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage resulting from improper, incorrect, or unreasonable use.

During cooking, moisture may condense inside the oven cavity or on the door glass, which is normal. To reduce this, preheat the oven for 10-15 minutes before placing food inside. Condensation will disappear once the oven reaches cooking temperature. Cook vegetables in a lidded container instead of an open tray to minimize condensation. Avoid leaving food inside the oven for more than 15-20 minutes after cooking.

WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Exercise caution and avoid touching hot surfaces. Accessible parts can also become hot when the grill is in use; keep children at a safe distance. Ensure the appliance is switched off before replacing the bulb to prevent electric shocks. To avoid hazards from accidental resetting of the thermal interruption device, the appliance should not be powered by an external switching device (e.g., a timer) or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off.

Children under 8 years old should be kept away from the appliance unless continuously supervised. Children should not play with the appliance. The appliance can be used by individuals aged 8 or older, and by those with limited physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only if supervised or instructed on safe operation and aware of potential risks. Cleaning and maintenance should not be performed by unsupervised children.

Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass, as these can scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter. The oven must be switched off before removing removable parts. Reassemble them according to instructions after cleaning.

Only use the meat probe recommended for this oven. Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning.

Electrical Safety

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in accordance with local laws. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused by failure to follow these instructions. The oven must be connected to an earthed wall outlet or a disconnector with multiple poles, protected by suitable fuses. Cables used must have a transverse section adequate for the oven's power supply.

The appliance should be connected via a suitable cable to a 220-240V AC power supply. Before connection, check the oven's maximum output on the rating plate and ensure a correctly rated circuit breaker/fuse. The grounding wire connected to the oven's earth terminal must be connected to the power supply's earth terminal.

WARNING: Before connecting, a qualified electrician should check the continuity of the power supply's earth terminal. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents or problems caused by failure to connect to the earth terminal or by a defective earth connection.

It is advisable to keep another wall socket available for maintenance. The power cable should only be replaced by technical service staff or similarly qualified technicians.

Recommendations

After each use, a minimum of cleaning helps maintain the oven's cleanliness. Do not line oven walls with aluminum foil or single-use protection, as direct contact with hot enamel risks melting and deteriorating it. To prevent excessive dirt and strong smells, avoid using the oven at very high temperatures. Extending cooking time and lowering the temperature slightly is recommended. Use only dishes and baking molds resistant to very high temperatures.

Installation

Manufacturers are not obligated to carry out installation. Assistance for faults due to incorrect installation is not covered by warranty. Installation instructions for qualified personnel must be followed. Incorrect installation can cause harm to people, animals, or property, for which the manufacturer is not responsible.

The oven can be installed high in a column or under a worktop. Ensure good ventilation in the oven space for proper air circulation, which is needed for cooling and protecting internal parts. Make openings as specified on the last page according to the fitting type.

Waste Management and Environmental Protection

This appliance is labeled according to European Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE). WEEE contains polluting substances and base elements that can be reused. Specific treatments are required to remove pollutants and recover materials. Individuals play a crucial role in preventing WEEE from becoming an environmental problem by following basic rules: WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste and should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by local councils or registered companies. In many countries, domestic collections are available for large WEEE. When purchasing a new appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor free of charge, provided it is of an equivalent type and has similar functions.

Saving and Respecting the Environment

Where possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and try to fill it. Open the oven door as infrequently as possible, as heat disperses each time it is opened. For significant energy saving, switch off the oven 5-10 minutes before the planned end of cooking time and use residual heat. Keep seals clean to avoid heat dispersal. If you have an hourly tariff electric contract, the "delayed cooking" program simplifies energy saving by moving cooking to reduced tariff times.

Declaration of Compliance

By placing the CE mark, the manufacturer confirms compliance with all relevant European safety, health, and environmental requirements applicable to this product.

Product Description

The oven features a control panel, shelf positions (with lateral wire grids if included), metal grill, drip pan, fan (behind a steel plate), and an oven door.

Accessories:

  • Metal grill: Holds baking trays and plates.
  • Drip tray: Collects residues from grilled foods. Used with Grill, Rotisserie, or Fan Assisted Grill; remove for other cooking methods. Never use as a roasting tray, as this creates smoke and fat splatter.
  • Lateral wire grids: Located on both sides of the oven cavity, holding metal grills and drip pans.
  • Grill pan set: The simple shelf holds molds and dishes. The tray holder shelf is ideal for grilling and should be used with the drip tray. A handle is included for safe movement of accessories; do not leave the handle inside the oven.

First Use

Preliminary Cleaning: Clean the oven before first use. Wipe external surfaces with a damp soft cloth. Wash all accessories and wipe inside the oven with a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. Set the empty oven to maximum temperature and leave it on for about 1 hour to remove any lingering smells of newness.

Use of the Oven

Display Description: The display includes a timer, cooking time indicator, end of cooking indicator, timer display, LCD display adjustment controls, thermostat knob (upper and lower cavity), function selector knob (upper and lower cavity), and signal lamps for both cavities.

WARNING: The first operation after installation or power interruption (indicated by a pulsating display showing 12:00) is setting the correct time. This is done by pushing the central button 4 times, setting the time with "-" "+" buttons, and then releasing all buttons. The oven will only operate if the clock is set.

Functions:

  • Key Lock: Activated by touching Set (+) for 5 seconds. All other functions are locked, and the display flashes "STOP" and preset time intermittently. Deactivated by touching Set (+) again for 5 seconds.
  • Minute Minder: Push the central button once, then use "-" "+" buttons to set the time. An audible alarm sounds when the time elapses (stops automatically or by pressing SELECT). During the process, the display shows remaining time. This functions as an alarm clock, usable with or without oven operation.
  • Cooking Time: Push the central button twice, then use "-" "+" buttons to set the desired cooking length. The oven switches off automatically when the time elapses. To stop cooking earlier, turn the function selector to 0 or set time to 0:00. This allows presetting cooking time for a recipe. To check remaining time, press SELECT twice. To change time, press SELECT and "-" "+" buttons.
  • End of Cooking: Push the central button three times, then use "-" "+" buttons to set the desired switch-off time. The oven switches off at the set time. To switch off manually, turn the oven function selector to O. This function is typically used with "cooking time." For example, to cook a dish for 45 minutes to be ready by 12:30, set the function, cooking time to 45 minutes, and end of cooking time to 12:30. The oven will start automatically at 11:45 (12:30 minus 45 minutes) and continue until the preset end-of-cooking time, then switch off automatically with an audible alarm. WARNING: If "END of cooking" is selected without setting "cooking time," the oven starts immediately and stops at the set "END of cooking" time.

Cooking Modes (Depends on oven model):

  • LAMP: Turns on the oven light.
  • DEFROST: Fan circulates room temperature air to defrost frozen food quickly without altering protein content.
  • MULTI-LEVEL (180°C, 50 ÷ MAX): Recommended for poultry, pastries, fish, and vegetables. Heat penetrates food better, reducing cooking and preheating times. Allows cooking multiple foods simultaneously with even heat distribution and no mixed smells. Add about ten minutes extra when cooking multiple foods.
  • CONVENTIONAL (210°C, 50 ÷ MAX): Uses both top and bottom heating elements. Preheat for about ten minutes. Ideal for traditional roasting and baking (red meats, roast beef, lamb, game, bread, foil-wrapped food, flaky pastry). Place food on a shelf in mid-position.
  • BOTTOM HEATING + FAN (220°C, 50 ÷ MAX): Uses bottom heating element with fan circulation. Ideal for juicy fruit flans, tarts, quiches, and pâté. Prevents food from drying and encourages rising in cakes and bread. Place shelf in the bottom position.
  • FAN ASSISTED GRILL (210°C, 50 ÷ MAX): Uses the top heating element with fan circulation. Preheating is necessary for red meats but not white meats. Ideal for thick food items and whole pieces (roast pork, poultry). Place food directly on the central shelf. Slide drip tray underneath. Ensure food is not too close to the grill. Turn food halfway through cooking.
  • GRILL (230°C, 50 ÷ MAX): Uses the top heating element alone. Temperature is adjustable. Five minutes preheating is required. Ideal for grills, kebabs, and gratin dishes. White meats should be placed further from the grill for longer, tastier cooking. Red meats and fish fillets can be placed on the shelf with the drip tray underneath. The oven has two grill positions. Grill power: 2140 W.
  • PIZZA (220°C, 50 ÷ MAX): Hot air circulation ensures perfect results for pizza or focaccia.

Oven Cleaning and Maintenance

General Notes on Cleaning: Regular cleaning extends the appliance's lifecycle. Wait for the oven to cool before manual cleaning. Never use abrasive detergents, steel wool, or sharp objects, as they can damage enamelled parts. Use only water, soap, or bleach-based detergents (ammonia).

  • Glass Parts: Clean the glass window with an absorbent kitchen towel after each use. For stubborn stains, use a detergent-soaked sponge, wring it out well, and rinse with water.
  • Oven Window Seal: Clean with a slightly damp sponge if dirty.
  • Accessories: Clean with a wet, soapy sponge, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive detergents.
  • Drip Pan: After grilling, remove the pan, pour hot fat into a container, and wash with hot water, sponge, and washing-up liquid. For greasy residues, immerse the pan in water and detergent. Alternatively, wash in the dishwasher or use a commercial oven detergent. Never put a dirty pan back into the oven.

Maintenance:

  • Removal and Cleaning of Side Racks:
    1. Pull the wire racks in the direction of the arrows to remove them.
    2. Clean them in the dishwasher or with a wet sponge, ensuring they are dried afterwards.
    3. Install the wire racks in reverse order after cleaning.
  • Removal of the Oven Window:
    1. Open the front window.
    2. Open the clamps of the hinge housing on the right and left sides by pushing them downwards.
    3. Replace the window by reversing the procedure.
  • Removal and Cleaning of the Glass Door:
    1. Open the oven door.
    2. Lock the hinges, remove the screws, and pull the upper metal cover upwards.
    3. Carefully extract the glass from the oven door (for pyrolytic ovens, also remove the second and third glass if present).
    4. After cleaning or substitution, reassemble parts in reverse order.
    5. On all glass, the "Pyro" indication must be legible and positioned on the left side of the door, near the left-hand lateral hinge, so the printed label of the first glass is inside the door.
  • Changing the Bulb:
    1. Disconnect the oven from the mains supply.
    2. Undo the glass cover, unscrew the bulb, and replace it with a new bulb of the same type.
    3. Replace the glass cover after replacing the bulb.
