3. ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
3.1 Our environmental care
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to
the reduction of the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the crossed out bin symbol on
the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the
product that has reached the end of its working life to the appropriate selective
collection centres for electrical and electronic refuse, or deliver it back to the
retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate selective collection for the subsequent forwarding of the
decommissioned product to recycling, treatment and ecologically compatible
disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative effects on the environment
and on health and promotes the recycling of the materials of which the
appliance consists. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the
application of administrative sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be
considered hazardous to health and the environment, in accordance with
current European directives.
3.2 Your environmental care
Our product's packaging is made of non-polluting materials, therefore
compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help by disposing of the
packaging correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection, recycling and
disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can
constitute a suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the
collection of household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables
intelligent recovery of valuable materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave
shelves in the same position as for use, to ensure that children cannot
accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is also necessary to cut the
connecting cable to the power grid, removing it along with the plug.

5. USING THE OVEN
THE ALFA341 OVEN IS DESIGNED FOR A MAXIMUM LOAD OF 25 KG.
THE ALFA241 OVEN IS DESIGNED FOR A MAXIMUM LOAD OF 12 KG.
5.1 General warnings and advice
• When using the oven for the first time, heat it up to a temperature of 200°C
for a duration long enough to burn off any oily residues from the
manufacturing process.
• As the oven door is opened, the heating elements and the fan are
deactivated.
• To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to
prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.
To prevent any steam in the oven from creating problems, the oven
door has been equipped with a two-stage opening device:
1 turn the handle completely to the left and pull;
2 then turn it to the right to fully open the door.

5.2 Setting the power
When connecting the oven for the first time, the maximum power absorbed will
appear flashing on the display. If the product is already connected, this will be
in the “OFF” status. In both cases proceed as follows:
ALFA341
• Turn the knob towards the symbol or to select the maximum power
absorbed by the oven between P15 (15 kW) and P9 (9 kW).
• Once you have selected the power, press the “PUSH” knob to confirm the
selection.
ALFA241
• Turn the knob towards the symbol or to select the maximum power
absorbed by the oven between P8.3 (8.3 kW) and P5.5 (5.5 kW).
• Once you have selected the power, press the “PUSH” knob to confirm the
selection.
The power setting operation must be performed the first time that the oven is
connected.
The value set is stored and used automatically whenever the oven is used
subsequently.
If the product is already connected and you want to modify the absorbed power
setting, from “OFF” status, hold down the “PUSH” knob for at least 3 seconds.
5.3 Choice of programs
This appliance allows you to select 40 cooking programs including:
• 38 programs that can be edited and saved as the user wishes;
• 1 preheating program with delayed start “P39”;
• 1 manual program “P40”.
Instructions for the user
34
5.4 Humidified cooking (on some models only)
The humidified programs that the user can modify are included between P01
and P40 apart from program P39. 3 different humidity levels can be set for each
program: H1 (low), H2 (medium) and H3 (high). Each set level has different
intervals between the steam injection cycles: 8’ pause for H1, 5’ for H2 and 2’ for
H3. Humidification cycles can be set and modified only if an oven temperature
higher than 110°C is selected.
The oven chamber can be humidified during cooking by controlling the relevant
inlet valve: To do this, just keep the “START” button pressed for at least one
second. Releasing the button stops the water from flowing in.
The diagram below represents the humidification cycle.
WARNING: the humidification cycle begins 2 minutes after cooking starts to
allow complete stabilisation of the oven temperature.
