Description of the appliance Overall view Control panel

Start-up and use ! The first time you use your appliance, heat the emptyoven with its door closed at its maximum temperaturefor at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is wellventilated before switching the oven off and openingthe oven door. The appliance may produce a slightlyunpleasant odour caused by the burning away ofprotective substances used during the manufacturingprocess. Starting the oven 1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning theSELECTOR knob.2. Select the desired temperature with theTHERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table forcooking modes and the suggested cookingtemperatures ( see Cooking Modes

3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicatesthat the oven is heating up to the temperature set.4. You may do the following during cooking:- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTORknob.- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTATknob.- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the“0” position.! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom toavoid damaging the enamel coating.! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.Cooling ventilationIn order to cool down the external temperature of theoven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan thatblows out air between the control panel and the ovendoor.! Once the cooking has been completed, the coolingfan remains on until the oven has cooled downsufficiently.Oven lightIt goes on when selecting with the SELECTORknob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected. Using the cooking timer* 1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knobclockwise almost one complete revolution.2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time:align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knobwith the indicator on the control panel.3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzersounds and the oven turns off.4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be usedas a normal timer.! To use the oven manually, in other words when youdo not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn theCOOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the 9 symbol. Clock with Country Style timer * How to reset the correct timeThe oven must be plugged in.Pull the knob and turn it anticlockwise until you set thecorrect time.

! The programmer is electrically powered, therefore inthe event of a power shortage, it will stop working forthe entire duration of the same. Following this powerfailure, the correct time will have to be reset.Timer FeatureThe timer feature allows you to enter a given amount oftime from which the timer begins to count down. Thisfeature does not turn the oven on or off; it merelysounds when the time has elapsed.How to set the timerTurn the knob anticlockwise until the marker lines upwith the desired time (internal scale), which can beseen in the “window”.The time countdown will begin immediately.To interrupt the timer buzzer, or to use only the clockfeature, set the marker to the ! symbol. Only on certain models16

Cooking modes Cooking modes ! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for

• BARBECUE (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. With 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 All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. PIZZA mode The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process. BARBECUE mode The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) come on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. GRATIN mode The top heating element as well as the fan and the rotisserie (where present) come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. BAKING mode The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously. The Rotisserie (only available on certain models) 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 . Practical cooking advice ! Do not place racks in position 1 and 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). MULTI-COOKING

• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2.

• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top. BARBECUE

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.17

• 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.
