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 nor-
mal. 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.

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 convec-
tion 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 convec-
tion 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 ther-
mometer 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 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 bak-
ing 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 3-inch deep 9-inch round bundt or spring-form pan.
Tips for convection baking and roasting
To bake:
-
-
-
Turn the thermostat knob (H) to the desired oven temperature
Turn the timer knob (L) to the desired cooking time.
Turn the function knob (M) to FAN/BAKE for convection cooking and to BAKE for
traditional cooking.
-
When the cooking is finished, turn the thermostat knob (H) to the “●” position
and the timer knob (L) to “O” position.

CHAPTER 3 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
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 non-
abrasive 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.
