Start-up and use

WARNING! The oven is provided with a stop system to extract the racks and prevent them from coming out of the oven (1).

As shown in the drawing, to extract them completely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).

! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature using the THERMOSTAT knob. A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found in the Cooking advice table (see Cooking modes).
3. The THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating up to the temperature set.
4. During cooking it is always possible to:
5. change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob;
6. adjust the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob;
7. stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door, as well as towards the bottom of the oven door.

! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Oven light

When selecting 📄 with the SELECTOR knob the oven light goes on. It remains lit when a cooking mode is selected.

How to use the timer

1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes shown on the TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.

! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be set for all cooking modes except the following:

• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level) • GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

= TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.

MULTILEVEL mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

TOP OVEN mode

The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

GRILL mode

The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cooking Advice" paragraph. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

! In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

GRILL

• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA

• For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-COOKING mode.
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time).

- If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the environment

- Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little as possible because heat is lost every time it is opened. To save a substantial amount of energy, simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of your planned cooking time and use the heat the oven continues to generate.

• Automatic programmes are based on standard food products.

- Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy losses.

- If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the "delay cooking" option will make it easier to save money by moving operation to cheaper time periods.

! This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode.
