Control panel

! 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.

Setting the time

Press the PROGRAMMER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction to set the correct time.

The clock can only be set if the oven is connected to the electricity mains. In case of a power failure, the PROGRAMMER will stop: the correct time will need to be reset once the power has returned.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking Modes).
3. When preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.

4. You may do the following during cooking:

5. change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

6. change 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 oven bottom to avoid damaging the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and the oven door.

! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Oven light

It goes on when selecting with the SELECTOR knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value between 60^ and MAX can be set for all cooking modes except the following:
- BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
- GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200^ ).

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

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.

BAKINGmode

This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of "bitesize pastries" on 3 shelves simultaneously.

区 FAST COOKING mode

This mode is particularly suitable for cooking prepacked food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.

MULTILEVEL mode

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.

PIZZA mode

This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

/ BARBECUE mode

The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

/GRATIN mode

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.

The Rotisserie \*

To operate the rotisserie (see diagram) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.
3. Start the rotisserie using the knob to select MODE or

2. Pull the PROGRAMMER knob and turn it in an anticlockwise direction until the marker corresponds with the desired cooking start time.
3. Select the desired cooking mode using the SELECTOR knob. The oven will switch on at the set cooking start time and will remain on for the entire duration of the set cooking time.
4. When the set time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound. To stop the cooking process, turn the PROGRAMMER knob in an anticlockwise direction until the symbol "U" is displayed.

5. Turn the SELECTOR knob to the "0" position.

6. For example: it is 9:00 a.m., a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is programmed and the start time is set to 11:00 a.m. The programme will start automatically at 11:00 and will end at 12:15.

! To cancel programming, turn the PROGRAMMER knob anticlockwise until the symbol “ ” is displayed.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTILEVEL

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

BARBECUE

• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the food is 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 MODE

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
  For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total 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.
