2. The oven begins its preheating stage and the

preheating indicator lights up. The temperature may be changed by turning the THERMOSTAT knob

3. When the preheating indicator

switches off and a buzzer sounds the preheating process is complete: you may now place the food in the oven.

4. During cooking it is always possible to:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob - change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob - set the cooking duration in addition to the cooking end time (see Cooking modes) - stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the 0 position.

5. The oven switches off automatically after two

hours: this default period of time is set for all cooking modes for safety reasons. The cooking duration may be changed (see Cooking modes).

6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in

operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from where it was interrupted as long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed. ! There is no preheating stage for the FAST COOKING and BARBECUE modes. ! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating 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. In the FAST COOKING mode, the fan is activated automatically after ten minutes. In the BAKING mode, the cooling fan is only activated when the oven is hot. At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low speed. ! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently. Oven light When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time by opening the oven door. Start-up and use18

Cooking modes ! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually between 40°C and 250°C as desired. In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually. 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. MULTI-COOKING 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. BARBECUE mode By turning the THERMOSTAT knob, the different power levels which may be set will appear on the display; these range between 50% and 100%. 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. PIZZA OVEN 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. BAKING mode 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. FAST COOKING mode Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre- packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only. PROVING mode The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of 40°C irrespective of the position of the THERMOSTAT knob. This mode is ideal for leavening dough made with yeast. Spit roast (only available in certain models) To operate the spit roast function (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 SELECTOR knob to

select mode or . When the programmes or are activated, the rotisserie will stop if the door is opened. Cooking modes19

appears on the DISPLAY, the oven will stop cooking and a buzzer sounds. Programming has been set when the and buttons are illuminated. The DISPLAY shows the cooking end time and the cooking duration alternately. To cancel programming, turn the SELECTOR knob to the 0 position. 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 BARBECUE 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. BARBECUE 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 OVEN 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.20

Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the oven or when removing it. Do not use aluminium foil to line the bottom of the oven. Do not place flammable materials in the oven: If the appliance is switched on accidentally, the materials could catch fire. Always make sure the knobs are in the l/ position when the appliance is not in use. When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable. Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains. If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance. Contact a Service Centre (see Assistance). Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door. The appliance should not be operated by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These individuals should, at the very least, be supervised by someone who assumes responsibility for their safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to the operation of the appliance. Do not let children play with the appliance. Disposal When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the public service provided or their local dealer. Respecting and conserving the environment You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning. The cooking mode programming options, the delayed cooking mode (see Cooking modes) and delayed automatic cleaning mode (see Care and Maintenance) in particular, enable the user to organise their time efficiently. Always keep the oven door closed when using the BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: This will achieve improved results while saving energy (approximately 10%). Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion. This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes, the appliance automatically switches to the standby mode. The standby mode is visualised by the high luminosity "Watch Icon". As soon as interaction with the machine resumes, the system's operating mode is restored.22
