[. . . ] Overspills are caused by using receptacles that are too small or by not judging the increase in volume during cooking properly; formed principally of starches and sugars, they attack the bottom of the oven in particular. HOW THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN WORKS The continuous self-cleaning oven consists of liners coated in a special enamel, which gives it its self-cleaning properties. During the course of its production, this enamel acquires a rough structure with a vast contact surface that helps to retain the oxygen necessary for eliminating smoke and splashes of fat. From the moment they appear, the stains extend and spread right out across the microporous contact surface, they are oxidized on the two side liners and steadily disappear. [. . . ] From the moment they appear, the stains extend and spread right out across the microporous contact surface, they are oxidized on the two side liners and steadily disappear. This oxidation occurs at the normal cooking temperature, between 200 and 300°C, breaking the stains up into a gas that is expelled towards the outside of the oven and into a fine powder which should be dusted away regularly with a damp cloth so that the enamel remains fully efficient. This self-cleaning enamel works best against fats and so it is most efficient against splashes. Getting rid of overspill stains made up of starches and sugars takes longer. PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE The self-cleaning enamel will always remain clean unless you allow stains to build up before getting rid of them. If you allow stains to build up, the cleaning process will be insufficient and in the longterm, heavy incrustation with large drip stains will form, making the self-cleaning ineffective. After cooking something that stains the oven heavily (for example a duck) the heating must remain on, with the oven empty, at the maximum temperature so that it cleans itself. Cooking dough and pastries does not cause splashes, so this could provide the chance for self-cleaning. Do not cook anything else that could stain the oven until all the splashes from the previous cooking have been eliminated. COOKING HINTS FOR GRILLED MEAT This type of cooking is generally done with the door ajar. To avoid overspills, you have to establish the increase in volume of the food (dilation) and the keep an eye on the correct positioning of oven trays when putting liquid preparations in the oven. If you think an overspill is possible, protect the oven bottom with aluminium foil. The oven with the self-cleaning feature is the most important improvement in recent years. Following these recommendations will give you years of satisfactory use. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS To assemble the self-cleaning liners, proceed as follows. 1-2-3) Remove all the accessories from the oven compartment: the horizontal racks, the base plates, their side supports and the rear deflector unscrewing the relative ring nuts. Now that the oven compartment is completely bare, the walls can be fitted with the selfcleaning liners. For correct assembly proceed as follows: · Attach the two side liners to the internal frames of the oven: parts "A" and "B" of figure 1; · Insert the rear liner "C" up against the rear wall, lining it up on the hole "D" or "H" according to the model. Fix it with either the ring nut "E" or the spring clip "G" supplied: · Slide in the two liners attached to the side frames of the oven compartment fixing them hooking the points "F" onto the side walls of the oven and the point "I" onto the rear wall of the oven; · Complete the assembly inserting the horizontal racks and the base plates previously extracted.
