This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety 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. When using electric appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1) Read all instructions. 2) Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles, dials and hot pads. 3) To protect against electrical shock, do not place oven in or under water. See instructions for cleaning. 4) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 5) Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Always press the STOP/CANCEL button before unplugging. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance. 6) Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any way. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment. 7) The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. 8) Do not use outdoors. 9) Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. 10) Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner. 11) Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. 12) If the plug gets hot, please call a qualified electrician. 13) Do not use this appliance for other than intended use. 14) Use extreme caution when removing the broiling tray or disposing of hot grease. 15) Do not clean oven with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts creating a risk of electric shock. 16) To disconnect the appliance, press the STOP/CANCEL button. Then unplug the cord from the wall outlet. 17) To assure safe operation, oversized utensils or food must not be inserted into the oven. 18) A fire may occur if this appliance is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains, draperies, walls, etc. when in operation. 19) Condensation and a grease deposit may form around the door and the air and steam outlet grilles. This is normal. 20) CAUTION: Never leave the oven unattended when in use (expecially when broiling and toasting). 21) Extreme caution should be exercised when using containers other than ovenproof metal, glass or ceramic. 22) Do not store any materials other than the manufacturer's recommended accessories in the oven when not in use. 23) Do not place any of the following materials in the oven: paper, cardboard, plastic and the like. 24) Do not cover crumb tray or any part of the oven with metal foil; this can cause overheating of the oven. Use aluminum foil on or under food only as directed in the appliance instructions. THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 5 5718104900 AD679/699 GB 15-03-2001 9:28 Pagina 6 GENERAL 1.4 - SUMMARY OF OPERATION PROGRAM MODES 1 TEMPERATURE SETTING/DISPLAY INDICATION POSITION OF WIRE RACK/ ACCESSORIES NOTES/TIPS Ideal for meat, cakes in general and food which need to be crispy on the surface (as gratined dishes). Roast meats and poultry will cook faster. Use of a meat thermometer will help avoid overcooking. 140° - 450°F CONVECTION OVEN COOKING FAN/BAKE Single tray 300° - 350°F with cookie sheets CONVECTION OVEN COOKING ON TWO TRAYS SIMULTANEOUSLY Double trays PRESS TWICE FAN/BAKE with cookie sheets BAKED GOODS: Select one or two wire racks with cookies sheets depending upon the quantity. Baked foods (cakes, pies, cookies, etc.) may require a lower temperature to prevent overbrowning (see page 13) Bake casseroles, pizza fruit desserts, fish, stuffed vegetables, puddings and other moist foods that don't require browning and crisping. Always use the broiling rack set in the shallow pan. Place it on the wire shelf in position that puts the food about two inches from the top element, more for thick food such as chicken. Foods such as hamburgers, steaks, kebabs, sausages are to be placed directly on the broiling rack. Use the broil settings to top-brown open-face sandwiches, cheese toppings, hors d'ouevres. Some breads, muffins, etc. will take longer than others. Reset dial if results are too light. Place the bread to be toasted following instructions on page. 16. TRADITIONAL OVEN COOKING BAKE 140° - 470°F BROILING AND TOP BROWNING BROIL TOASTING TOAST to 6 5718104900 AD679/699 GB 15-03-2001 9:28 Pagina 7 GENERAL 1 140°F PROGRAM MODES TEMPERATURE SETTING/DISPLAY INDICATION POSITION OF WIRE RACK/ ACCESSORIES NOTES/TIPS KEEPING WARM FAN/BAKE Turn to this setting to keep hot food warm. Do not hold food more than an hour or reheat cold food. If not hot enough for serving turn temperature dial up. DEFROSTING DEFROST To thaw frozen food in freezer packaging place it on wire shelf or on shallow pan to catch any juices. Do not try to thaw large roasts or allow any food to overthaw (see page. 17). Place prepared food on the dehydrator kit (if provided) without covering shelves with plastic food wrap. The fan and low heat will dry food in 8 to 14 hours. Consult a book on drying foods for treatment of various foods. DEHYDRATING DEHYD 1.5 - CORRECT WIRE SHELF POSITIONS slot 2 slot 1 ONLY for dehydrating (1) (2) (3) 7 5718104900 AD679/699 GB 15-03-2001 9:28 Pagina 8 GENERAL 1.6 - INSTALLATION 1 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) 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) When a function is started, the pilot light B turns on. 1.7 - IMPORTANT TIPS AND TECHNIQUES POSITIONING THE WIRE SHELVES: There are two slots on the sides of the oven. Slide one or both shelves into these positions. The upper shelf can be turned over, allowing three different levels. The recipes will suggest the best arrangement (1 to 3; see page 7) where necessary for best results. The shelf reversed in slot 1 must be used only with the dehydrator kit L (optional). ACCESSORIES AND UTENSILS The shallow pan H is designed to permit the circulating heat to surround the food (except for the bottom surface) more effectively. Use it as you would any shallow baking or roasting pan. Other utensils you own can be used provided that an inch or so of space remains open to allow circulation of the fan-forced heat. Casserole covers should not be used and glass ovenware should not be placed closer than two inches from the upper heating element. The cookies sheets F provided must also be centered on the shelf. When using both sheets on two wire shelves, place wire shelves in position 1 and 3. Use handgrip (if fitted) to bring the wire rack out of the oven when it is hot. Cookie sheet Shelf PREHEATING THE OVEN To pre-heat the oven, press the required function (BAKE, FAN/BAKE, BROIL) and set the desired temperature (only for BAKE and FAN/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 8 functions: convection and traditional baking and roasting, toasting, broiling, keeping food warm, defrosting frozen foods and even dehydrating sliced fruits for nutritious snacks. 8 5718104900 AD679/699 GB 15-03-2001 9:28 Pagina 9 USING THE CONTROL AND SETTING THE MODES 2.1 - SETTING THE CLOCK 2 · When the appliance is connected to the domestic power supply for the first time, or after a power out,four dashes will appear on the display (--:--).
