GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

2

BE SURE THAT YOUR OUTLET

IS PROPERLY GROUNDED

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

If you are uncertain that your outlets are properly grounded, please contact a qualified electrician or serviceman.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.

• The cord length of this product has been selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord may be used. It should be rated no less than 15 amps., 120 volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories/CSA listing.

• A six feet long, 15 amp. extension cord may be purchased from your local authorized service facility.

When using a longer cord, be sure not to let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally pull or trip over it.

• Handle the cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining the cord at the plug and appliance connections.

2.2 - PIZZA FUNCTION

This oven is programmed with a special pizza function from De'Longhi. The program is designed specifically for cooking pizza dough, to result in the crispy pizza you love. Pizza can be cooked using the De' Longhi pizza tray provided, or the pizza can be cooked directly on the wire oven rack. (For the popular thick-style "rising crust" we especially recommend placing pizza on the wire rack.)

Important Note:

Always position pizza in the lowest guide (see page 6). Using the pizza program, remember that it is NOT necessary to preheat the oven.

1 Press the PIZZA button and select the desired program

(see the table below).

The display will show the message “P1”, “P2” o “P3”.

Press the START button (17). As you press START, time selected is reduced of 1 minute. The oven will start the countdown. At the end of the set time the control will emit 4 beeps (and the display will return to stand-by, showing the time of the day if previously set).

3 If, during the cooking, you think to need a longer duration for your pizza, press the TIMER button (9) and then add the desired time (for a maximum of

5 minutes more) by repeadly pressing the "+" button (18).

• If the START button (17) is not pressed within 3 minutes from the previous setting, the control will return to stand-by.

• The cooking process can be stopped in any moment by pressing the STOP/CANCEL button (11).

NOTES/TIPS TO COOK THE PIZZA

• If the oven is already hot (e.g. in case of sequential pizza cooking), the electronic controll will automatically reduce/adjust the cooking time.

• Always put the pizza on the PIZZA TRAY (L) provided; then insert the tray in slot 3.

• Frozen pizza: remove the pizza from its packaging and put the pizza directly on the PIZZA TRAY (L).

Home - made pizza with fresh dough: prepare the pizza on the well greased PIZZA TRAY (L) or line the tray with oven-proof paper. We suggest to add mozzarella or soft cheese just five minutes before the end of cooking: the cheese will melt perfectly without overburning.

• In order to select the right program, refer to the following table;

• Cooking rersult may vary adjust these settings to your individual preferences.

COOKING TWO PIZZAS AT ONCE

Note: The Special pizza program is intended only for cooking one pizza at a time, following the instruction above. Cooking two pizzas at once: The special pizza setting cannot be used for cooking two pizzas. However, you can get very good results with two pizzas following these directions:

Using the two wire oven racks, place one pizza in the lowest position and a second pizza in the middle position (see page 6). Use Fan/Bake setting (not special pizza setting ) and PREHEAT to 375 degrees. Cook for 15 minutes an then switch the racks to opposite positions for an additional 10-15 minutes of additional cooking time.

HEAT CIRC CONVECTION FEATURE WITH FAN/BAKE MODE

To get the most from convection cooking, this DeLonghi oven incorporates our patented Heat Circ design.

How does it work? When using convection mode, the Heat Circ design first pulls air down to the heating elements, where it circulates and becomes very hot. Next, this heated air is transferred into the cooking chamber and circulated there to enhance cooking results as only convection cooking can. The crumb tray is designed with special heat deflectors to precisely direct the process.

DeLonghi's Heat Circ feature is designed so that fan-circulated air is the hottest air in the oven. This enhances the time-saving benefit of convection cooking, and has been proven in our test kitchens to deliver the most consistent cooking results.

In general, meats and poultry can be cooked in less time (a meat thermometer will help to prevent overcooking). Cakes, pies, cookies, etc. can be baked at a lower temperature (see charts and recipes).

BAKE mode

is used when browning and crisping are less important or undesirable. Use it, following conventional recipes, for casseroles, stuffed vegetables, fish, lasagna, fruit tarts, cheesecakes and other moist mixtures.

CONVECTION BAKING OF CONVENIENCE FOODS

Many convenience foods can be successfully baked or heated by convection on the FAN/BAKE mode. In general, follow the package directions for temperature and time. However, lower the temperature by 25°F.

for more even cooking of larger items, frozen foods (except waffles and pancakes) and packaged casserole mixtures. There is such a wide choice of convenience foods on the market and variations in packaging, quantities and initial temperatures (frozen, refrigerated and shelf temperature) that it’s best to follow the package instructions. Check the food 5 to 10 minutes before the time is up; you may need to adjust the time and/or temperature for best results.

Here are some tips for different types of convenience foods:

If directions call for placing the food container on a metal pan or cookie sheet to avoid spills or to aid even cooking, use the shallow pan provided. Use it or the cookie sheets for foods, such as rolls, cookies, turnovers or frozen French fries, breaded fish or chicken pieces, that are placed directly on a pan or cookie sheet.

Some frozen foods come in “oven-proof” plastic or paper containers which can be cooked in a microwave oven and, within limits, a conventional oven. Be sure to follow directions for maximum baking temperature. The container can melt or scorch if too high a temperature is used. To be on the safe side, set the oven 25°F. lower than the recommended temperature.

When baking packaged mixtures (such as scalloped potatoes, macaroni and cheese, brownies, corn bread, coffeecake and cake mixes) check the package directions for recommended sizes of pan, casserole or dish and the proper baking times for each. A 9-inch round or an 11/7 - by 11/2 inch rectangular pan will fit in the oven with room on all sides for air circulation.

Layer cake mixes can be baked one layer at a time in a 8- or 9-inch round pan or all of the batter in a 3inch deep 9-inch round bundt or spring-form pan.

This function is ideal for cooking chickens on the spit, fowl in general, roast pork and veal. The rotisserie function can be used for load of up to 10 pounds.

Operate as follows:

fig. 5

Place the food on the spit (

P

) and hold it firm using the forks (for best results, tie the meat using kitchen string).

fig. 6

Place the spit supports (

) on the dripping pan, in the holes provided.

Place the spit on the supports.

fig. 7 fig. 8

Slide the dripping pan with the food being cooked into the lower guide (3), tilting the spit supports (

FOR DEHYDRATING

Always preheat the oven before placing the racks with the food inside. When preheating is complete, the oven will emit three “beeps”.

Slices of apples, pineapple, pears, peaches or bananas, placed directly on the dehydrating shelves, will dry in 8 to 14 hours in the gently circulating warm air. Time will depend on the moisture in the fruit.

Herbs can also be dried. However, the limited quantity of vegetables that can be dried at one time may not be worth your time and attention. Consult a book on dehydrating food for specific directions as to times, pretreatment and storage of dried foods.

Stack the dehydrating shelves on top of one another, and then place them on the wire rack.

Wait for the audible signal (3 times 3 short beeps) before inserting the wire rack in the guide 3 (see figure).

Always leave the door open to the stop position.

3.1 - CARE AND CLEANING

Always unplug the oven-broiler and allow it to cool before cleaning.

This unit has been designed and engineered with your safety in mind. To assure maximum safe operation, keep unit clean free of grease and build up of food particles.

The internal cavity of your oven is covered with a special enamel to which splashes and food particles do not stick, thus making cleaning particularly simple. Do not clean interior with metal scouring pads.

Pieces can break off and touch electrical parts, creating risk of electrical shock.

To clean the glass door, use a glass cleaner or a damp cloth. Wripe dry with a clean cloth. To clean the exterior finish, use a damp, sudsy cloth. For stubborn stains, a nonabrasive liquid cleaner or spray glass cleaner may be used. Do not use metal scouring pads, as they might mar the finish. Always remove cleaning agents by polishing with a dry cloth.

Slide the crumb tray (G) out from under the bottom of your oven (see fig. 11). Wash by hand. Should the soilage be difficult to remove, rinse the crumb tray with hot soapy water and if necessary, scour it delicately, without scratching it.

To make the cleaning of the inside of the oven easier, the upper heating element (A) can be lowered by pulling the

clasp for drop down heating element

(C) (fig. 12-13).

IMPORTANT: after cleaning, reposition and reattach the electrical element (fig. 14). The oven must be not used

with the element in the lowered positioned.

OVEN LIGHT

The oven light (B) is always on when the oven is on. To replace the bulb, proceed as follows:

• unplug the appliance from the power socket

• unscrew the protective glass cover (X), by turning it anti-clockwise, and replace the bulb (Y) with a new one of the same type (see Fig. 15). Replace the protective glass cover (X).

Only use bulbs suitable for ovens (T572°F)

N.B. The oven can still be used even if the bulb is burntout
