ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Only use a three-pin, 120 Volt, 60 Hz power outlet

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS


MAKE SURE THAT THE PLUG IS CORRECTLY GROUNDED

This appliance must be grounded: in the event of short circuits, the ground connection reduces the risk of electric shock, allowing the electrical current to be dispersed. This appliance is fitted with a power cable with ground wire.
The plug must be connected to a power outlet that has been correctly installed and grounded.

IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUND WIRE MAY LEAD TO THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
If you are not sure that the power outlet is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician. The length of the power cable for this appliance has been devised so as to avoid the possibility of tripping on or getting entangled in a long cable.
If an extension cord is required, only use three-wire extension cords with three-pin plugs and sockets that fit the plug on the appliance.
The electrical ratings of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical ratings of the appliance. If a longer cable is required, an extension cord UL/CSA approved can be used.
When using an extension cord, make sure it does not hang loose in the work area or where someone may accidentally trip on it or get entangled in it. Handle the power cable with care for longer life; avoid pulling or stressing the cable around the connectors to the power outlet and the appliance.

LCD display light has gone out The oven goes in standby mode, when not used for 30 seconds, if Clock was not set.
When Clock is set, the display light is kept ON
Clock setting has gone out If the LCD display light has gone out even if Clock was previously set, a power supply interruption greater than 5 seconds occurred. The electronic control has been reset.
Set the Clock again.
Oven lamp is OFF while oven is ON
  • The bulb is broken. Replace the bulb.
  • The bulb is not properly screwed into its housing. Verify that it is completely screwed.
If the solution above does not resolve the problem, the electronic control of the lamp probably had a malfunction. Contact a De'Longhi customer service.
The pizza does not cook evenly Some large pizza, or particular dough pizza may brown unevenly. We suggest in these cases to switch the position of the pizzas halfway through the cooking of the pizzas for a perfect final result.
Steam coming out from housing This is normal. The oven is vented to release excessive steam created from bread or high-moisture content foods.
Water dripping on internal glass This is normal. The condensation created by toasting bread and frozen bread will run down the inside of door glass, and collected into a special slot on internal lower side of door.
