GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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 AS 1070 GB 30-10-2003 11:10 Pagina 3 CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL 1.1 - DESCRIPTION AND ACCESSORIES PROVIDED A B C D E F G H Upper heating element Oven light Clasp for drop down heating element Rotisserie spit mount Control panel Lower heating element Crumb tray Thermostat knob I L M N O P Q R Pilot light Timer knob Function knob Shallow pan Wire rack (two provided) Spit CONVERSION TABLE: Spit support Lasagna tray °C °F 95 107 120 135 150 163 177 190 205 218 233 240 200 225 250 275 300 325 350 375 400 425 450 470 3 AS 1070 GB 30-10-2003 11:10 Pagina 4 Chapter 1 - General 1.2 - IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electric appliances basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1) Read all instructions. 2) The temperature of the door or the outer surfaces may be high when the appliance is operating: only ever touch the plastic knobs and handles. 3) To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, in water or other liquid.

BROIL 2 3 1.4 - 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, (except Defrost function) the pilot light (I) 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 and the air and steam outlet vents. 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.

THE IDEAS AND INSTRUCTIONS WILL HELP YOU MAKE FULL USE OF THE OVEN 6 AS 1070 GB 30-10-2003 11:10 Pagina 7 CHAPTER 2 - USING THE CONTROL AND SETTING THE MODES 2.1 - BAKE AND FAN/BAKE FUNCTIONS HEAT CIRC CONVECTION FEATURE WITH FAN/BAKE MODE To get the most from convection cooking, this De'Longhi 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. De'Longhi'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 function. 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 a ...
