As shown in the drawing,

to extract them completely,

simply lift the racks, holding

them on the front part, and

! The rst 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.

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the

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

3. The THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven

is heating up to the temperature set.

4. During cooking it is always possible to:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob;

- adjust the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob;

- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0”

! 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.

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

! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan

continues to operate until the oven has cooled down

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.

! 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.

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.

The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used

to brown food at the end of cooking.

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, lets, hamburgers etc...

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical

Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with

the oven door closed.

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.

* Only available in certain models.24

GB 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).

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires

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

• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the

• 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.

• For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack

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. Cooking modes Foods Weight (in kg) Rack position Pre-heating

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before

carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and

the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge that

has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap.

Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn

stains. After cleaning, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not

use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.

• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after

each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and

detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do

not use abrasive products.

• All accessories - with the exception of the sliding racks

- can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even

• We recommend that detergents are not sprayed directly

onto the control panel, but that a sponge is used instead.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the

Cleaning the oven door

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge and

a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly with a

soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal

scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the

glass to crack. For more thorough cleaning purposes, the

oven door may be removed:

1. Open the oven door fully (see

2. Lift up and turn the small levers

located on the two hinges (see

3. Grip the door on the two external

sides and close it approximately

half way. Pull the door towards you,

lifting it out of its slot (see diagram).

To replace the door, reverse this sequence.

Inspecting the seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals

are damaged, please contact your nearest Service Centre

(see Assistance). We recommend that the oven is not used

until the seals have been replaced.

Respecting and conserving the environment

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL

and GRATIN modes: This will achieve improved results

while saving energy (approximately 10%).

• 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.

• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door

• 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.

• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.

If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and

pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can

be difficult to remove.

• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting

lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with

the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption

• Use purely flat pots and pans

• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,

it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as

fast and saves a third of the energy.28
