Before starting to cook food, it is recommended to heat the

transparent film from the control panel. Ventilate the room after
using the appliance for the first time.

The control panel consists of:

The LED Thermostat / Preheating indicator switches on during the
heating process and switches off once the desired temperature is
reached. It is important to note that placing food in the oven
before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the
final cooking result.

To insert the wire shelf, hold it tilted slightly upwards and
rest the raised rear side (pointing upwards) down first. Then slide
it horizontally along the shelf guide as far as possible. Other

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use steam cleaners. Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance. Wear protective gloves. The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

EXTERIOR SURFACES Clean surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth. Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

INTERIOR SURFACES After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues. To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, leave the oven to cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.Activate the “Smart Clean” function for optimum cleaning of internal surfaces (Available only on certain models). Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.

ACCESSORIES Soak the accessories in a washing-up liquid solution after use, handling them with oven gloves if they are still hot. Food residues can be removed using a washing-up brush or a sponge.

LOWER THE TOP HEATING ELEMENT (Only in some models) The top heating element of the grill can be lowered to clean the upper panel of the oven: Extract the heating element from its seating, then lower it. To return the heating element to its position, lift it up, pull it slightly towards you and make sure that the tab support is in its proper seating.
