ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safty feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.

• 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.

1.5 - INSTALLATION

1) Check that the appliance has not suffered any damage due to transportation.

2) Place the appliance on a flat, stable surface out of the reach of children (the glass door becomes very hot while the oven is in operation).

3) Before using this appliance, move it two to four inches away from the wall or any object on the counter top.

Remove any object that may have been placed on top of the appliance.

Do not use on surfaces where heat may be a problem.

4) When a function is started, the pilot light (

2

) turns on.

Note: Initial start-up operation may result in minimal smell and smoke (about 15 min.). This is normal. It is due to the protective substance on heating elements which protects them from salt effects during shipping from the factory.

5) Condensation and a grease deposit may form around the door; this is normal.

6) Before using the appliance for the first time, remove all paper contents such as: protection cardboard, instructions for use, plastic bags and so on.

PREHEATING THE OVEN

To pre-heat the oven, press the required function (BAKE, BROIL) and set the desired temperature (only for

BAKE). After having pressed START, if no duration has been set, the display will show the countdown starting from the default duration of 1:00 (one hour). On reaching the set temperature, the control will emit 3 times 3 beeps. The ON light (2) will stay on.

USE ALUMINUM FOIL

Do NOT allow foil to touch sides of the oven or the heating elements. Foil can be used to cover foods or the shallow pan (for easier clean-up) provided foil is tucked in securely around the food or the edges of the pan or dish. DO NOT cover the broiling rack as this can cause accumulated grease to catch fire. DO NOT cover the crumb tray (

E

).

Unlike an ordinary toaster-oven, the DE’LONGHI features 5 functions: traditional baking and roasting, toasting, broiling, and keeping food warm.

BAKING OF CONVENIENCE FOODS

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

We recommend cooking chicken, roasts and small fowl directly on the broiling rack resting on the dripping-pan (see fig. on the left) to avoid fat spattering onto the sides of the oven and dripping onto the bottom. See the following sections for further details.

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 provided 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.

To top-brown casseroles with crumb or cheese toppings, place the dish directly on the wire shelf (in the position

1) 2 - 3 inches from the top element. Leave the door open to the stop position and watch carefully to avoid burning the toppings. NOTE: Oven-glass dishes should not be exposed to direct broiler heat.

When the function and the temperature controls are set to BROIL only the top element heats at full power. Be sure to leave door open to stop position only, as shown in the figure 1 on page 14. Set the broiling rack in the drip pan on the wire shelf in position 2 so that the food is few inches from the top element. If necessary, the broiling rack can be inverted in the pan. The broiling rack shields the fat drippings from direct heat, reducing spattering, smoking and possible flaming. Always use the shallow pan when broiling any fatty foods.

LIMITED WARRANTY

What does the warranty cover?

We warrant each appliance to be free from defects in material and workmanship. Our obligation under this warranty is limited to repair at our factory or authorized service center of any defective parts or part thereof, other than parts damaged in transit. In the event of a products replacement or return, the unit must be returned transportation prepaid. The repaired or new model will be returned at the company expense.

This warranty shall apply only if the appliance is used in accordance with the factory directions, which accompany it, and on an Alternating current ( AC ) circuit.

How long does the coverage last?

This warranty runs for one year ( 1 ) from the purchase date found on your receipt and applies only to the original purchaser for use.

What is not covered by the warranty?

The warranty does not cover defects or damage of the appliance, which result from repairs or alterations to the appliance outside our factory or authorized service centers, nor shall it apply to any appliance, which has been subject to abuse, misuse, negligence or accidents. Also, consequential and incidental damage resulting from the use of this product or arising out of any breach of contract or breach of this warranty are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation may not apply to you.

The above warranty is in lieu of all other express warranties and representations. All implied warranties are limited to the applicable warranty period set forth above. This limitation does not apply if you enter into an extended warranty with De’Longhi. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. De’Longhi does not authorize any other person or company to assume for it any liability in connection with the sale or use of its appliance.

How does state law apply?

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
