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 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. 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 lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating

up to the temperature set.

4. You may do the following during cooking:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob. - change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob. - stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position. ! 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, some models are tted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and the oven door. ! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufciently. Oven light It goes on when selecting with the SELECTOR knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected. How to use the minute minder

1. To set the buzzer, turn the MINUTE MINDER knob clockwise almost one

complete revolution.

2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes

shown on the MINUTE MINDER knob with the indicator on the control panel.

3. The minute minder when the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.

! The minute minder does not turn the oven on or off. Cooking modes ! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for

• 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. 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 and bottom), 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. 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, lets, 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 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. 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 GRILL 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. GRILL

• 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. 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.20
