Children under 8 years old should be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children aged 8 and above, and persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance if supervised and instructed on safe use and understanding of hazards. Accessible parts, especially during grill use, can be hot, and young children should be kept away. The appliance must be switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid electric shock.
Recommendations
After each use, a minimum of cleaning helps keep the oven clean. Do not line oven walls with aluminum foil or single-use protection, as direct contact with hot enamel can cause melting and deterioration. To prevent excessive dirt and smoke, avoid using the oven at very high temperatures; instead, extend cooking time and lower the temperature slightly. Only use dishes and baking molds resistant to very high temperatures.
Installation
The manufacturer is not obligated to perform installation. Incorrect installation leading to harm or injury is not the manufacturer's responsibility. Installation instructions must be followed by professionally qualified personnel. The kitchen unit housing the oven must be resistant to temperatures of at least 70°C. The oven can be located high in a column or under a worktop. Ensure good ventilation in the oven space for cooling and protection of internal parts, making openings as specified on the last page. When fixing the oven, ensure that the ventilation channels (2mm) on both sides are not closed by overtightening screws.
Electrical Connection
Electrical connection must be carried out by an approved contractor or technician. The installation must comply with local standards. The manufacturer is not responsible for non-compliance. Connection to the network must be via an earthed socket or a multipole circuit-breaker. The installation must be protected by suitable fuses and wires with adequate cross-section. The oven is fitted with a power lead for 220-240 V AC connection. Check the supply voltage. The green/yellow earth wire must be connected to the earth terminal of the installation. Have the earth continuity checked by an electrician. The manufacturer is not liable for incidents arising from an un-earthed oven or one with defective earth continuity. The socket outlet should be accessible for after-sales service. If the power supply cable needs changing, it must be done by after-sales service or similarly qualified personnel.
Oven Equipment
Initial cleaning of all equipment is necessary before first use. Wash with a sponge, rinse, and dry.

Cooking Modes
All cooking should be carried out with the door closed.
- BOTTOM + FAN: Bottom heating element and fan. Ideal for fruit flans, tarts, quiches, pastries. Prevents food from drying, encourages bread dough to rise. Place shelf in the bottom position.
- BOTTOM: Lower element only. Ideal for all pastry-based dishes, flans, quiches, tarts, pâté, and dishes needing more heat from below.
- BOTTOM + GRILL: Both top and bottom heating elements. Ideal for traditional roasting and baking of red meat, roast beef, lamb, game, bread, or foil-wrapped foods.
- BOTTOM + GRILL + FAN: Both top and bottom heating elements with fan. Circulates hot air. Recommended for poultry, pastries, fish, vegetables. Provides better heat penetration, reduced cooking/preheating times. Allows cooking different foods simultaneously on different levels with even heat distribution without mingling tastes/smells. Add 10 minutes for cooking different foods simultaneously.
- RING + FAN: Heated air blown by fan onto different levels. Ideal for cooking different food types simultaneously (e.g., meat and fish) without mixing tastes/smells. Cooks gently. Ideal for sponge cakes, pasties.
- GRILL: Top heating element. Guaranteed for mixed grills, kebabs, gratin dishes. Pre-heat to high temperature for 5 minutes. Place white meats further from the grill element for longer, more succulent cooking. Place red meat and fish fillets directly on the shelf with the drip tray below.
- GRILL + FAN: Top heating element with fan. Circulates hot air. Pre-heating recommended for red meats, not for white meats. Ideal for thicker food items (pork, poultry). Place food directly in the middle of the shelf. Slide drip tray underneath to collect juices. Ensure food is not too close to the grill element and turn halfway through cooking.
- GRILL + TURNSPIT + FAN: Top oven element with fan and rotisserie. Food is evenly cooked, preventing dryness. Rotisserie continues for ~5 minutes after cooking using residual heat. No preheating required.
- DEFROST: Fan circulates hot air around frozen food, defrosting in minutes without altering protein content. Preset to 40°C constant.
- KEEP WARM: Reheat precooked food (second level from top) or defrost bread/pizza/pastry (lower level). Preset to 60°C constant.
- PYRO: The oven cleans itself. Three choices: ECO, NORMAL, SUPER.
Pyrolytic Cycle (According to the model)
The oven is equipped with a pyrolyser cleaning system that destroys food residues at high temperatures. The operation is automatic and programmed. Fumes are cleaned by passing over a pyrolyser that starts with cooking. A safety lock prevents the door from opening during the high-temperature cycle. The pyrolyser can be stopped at any time.
NOTE: If a hob is fitted above the oven, do not use gas burners or electric hot-plates during pyrolyser operation to prevent overheating.
Three Pyrolytic Cycles:
- ECO PYROCLEAN: Cleans a moderately stained oven (65 minutes).
- NORMAL PYROCLEAN: Cleans a normally stained oven (75 minutes).
- SUPER PYROCLEAN: Cleans a heavily stained oven (90 minutes).
Never use commercial cleaning products on a Pyrolytic oven.
Tip: Performing pyrolytic cleaning immediately after cooking utilizes residual heat, saving energy.
Before a Pyrolytic Cycle:
- Remove all accessories (separator, grids, trays, etc.) as they cannot withstand high temperatures and would be damaged.
- Remove any large spillages or stains that would take too long to destroy or could ignite.
- Close the oven door.
- Remove excess spillage.
Using the Pyrolytic Cycle:
- Press "F". Choose ":::" using "∧" and "∨", then press "SET" to confirm. ":::" will appear, and ECO mode flashes.
- ECO: 65 minutes, moderately stained.
- NORMAL: 75 minutes, normally stained.
- SUP: 90 minutes, heavily stained.
- Using "∧" and "∨", select the desired Pyrolytic mode (ECO, NORMAL, or SUP). Then press "SET" to confirm.
Your choice is confirmed after 3 seconds. The oven starts the pyrolytic cycle. The selected mode flashes, and the ":::" and "O" indicator lights appear. The locking oven door symbol appears, indicating the door is locked. The cooling fan operates. The indicator light flashes until the required temperature is reached, then becomes fixed. At the end of the cycle, the oven switches off automatically. An audible signal sounds for 15 seconds, and the ":::" and "O" indicator lights flash. Press "START/STOP" to stop. Otherwise, the symbols continue flashing, and the ":::" symbol disappears from the Timer. The pyrolytic mode is incorrect. The oven door remains locked until the temperature has reduced. The locking oven door symbol illuminates when the door cannot be opened. The cooling fan remains on until the oven components reach a reasonable temperature. At the end of the cycle, the indicator flashes again and remains on until the oven's internal temperature is sufficiently low. Pyrolysis leaves a white residue on the oven walls. After the oven cools completely, clean the inside with a damp sponge.
Cooking Tips
- Do not salt meats until after cooking to prevent spattering and smoke.
- White meat, pork, veal, lamb, and fish can be put into a cold oven. Cooking time will be longer but penetration to the center will be better.
- Correct preheating is essential for red meat cookery.
Grills:
- Before loading: Remove meat from the refrigerator a few hours before grilling. Lay it on kitchen paper to improve searing, taste, and prevent it from staying cold. Add pepper and spices before grilling, but salt after cooking. Baste food with a little oil using a wide flat basting brush. Sprinkle with more pepper and herbs.
- During cooking: Do not pierce food during cooking, even when turning it, to retain juices.
Baking:
- Avoid shiny tins, as they reflect heat and can spoil cakes. If cakes brown too quickly, cover with greaseproof paper or aluminum foil (shiny side towards the cake).
- Avoid opening the door during the first 20-25 minutes of cooking, as soufflés, brioches, and sponge cakes may fall. Check if cakes are done by pricking the center with a knife or knitting needle; if it comes out dry, the cake is ready. If moist or with bits of cake, continue baking at a slightly lower thermostat.
