Fig. 4 Safety thermostat In order to avoid excessive overheating due to incorrect use of the appliance or else to a faulty component, the oven is equipped with a safety thermostat which cuts off the power supply if necessary. Operation is restored automatically when the oven temperature decreases to normal values. Therefore, if the thermostat cuts in because you have not been using the appliance correctly, the oven can be used again simply by waiting for the appliance to cool down. If, instead, the thermostat cuts in because of a faulty component, you should call the Service Department. 21 Hints and tips for using the oven Always cook with the oven door closed. The oven is supplied with an exclusive system which produces a natural circulation of air and the constant recycling of steam. This system makes it possible to cook in a steamy environment and keep the dishes soft inside and crusty outside. Moreover, the cooking time and energy consumption are reduced to a minimum. During cooking steam may be produced which can be released when opening the oven door. Should you cook very fat food, place the meat directly on the grill and the grill over the dripping pan in order not to dirty the oven. Once the meat is cooked, it is advisable to let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving so that the juice does not seep out. To prevent the formation of too much smoke in the oven during roasting, it is a good idea to pour a little water into the dripping pan and--to prevent steam--to add a little bit more during cooking if the original amount dries up too much. Before serving, the various courses can be kept hot in the oven which should be turned down to the minimum temperature. - Do not place objects on the bottom of the oven and do not cover it with aluminium foil while cooking, as you can damage the enamelled surfaces and the food you are cooking. Always place pans, heat-resisting pans and aluminium foils on the oven shelves. - Be careful when you insert and extract the grid and the dripping pan from the oven in order not to damage the enamelled surfaces of the oven cavity. Cooking times Cooking times vary according to the type of food to be cooked, its consistency, and volume. We suggest that you take particular note of your first cooking experiments with the oven, since operating in the same conditions for the same dishes you will of course obtain similar results. Only experience will enable you to make the appropriate changes to values given on charts.

This appliance is delivered without an electric supply cable, therefore, you will have to fit to it a supply cable with standard plug, suitable for the total electric load shown on the rating plate. If you require a direct connection to the electric network (mains), it will be necessary to fit between the appliance and the mains an omnipole switch, with a minimum gap between contacts of 3 mm, suitable for the required load and in compliance with rules in force. The green & yellow ground wire must not be interrupted by the switch and it should be 2- Fig. [. . . ]
