It indicates that the oven is heating up. When the light goes out, the required temperature has been reached inside the oven. When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven temperature. The temperature indicated by the thermostat refers to the operating temperature of the empty oven during its 3 main functions: CONVECTION, FAN-ASSISTED, SPECIAL FISH MODE. For all other functions the temperature is intended as a guide only. The suggested value is considered to be the optimal cooking temperature. Switching off the oven Return knobs «T» e «F» to position «0» to switch off the oven.

The programmer The electronic programmer has the function of automatically switching on the oven (at the required time) and switching it off at the end of the set cooking time. The 4 figure luminous display showing the actual time and the programming times, also shows the current state of the oven by means of the following symbols: Oven on Minute minder Automatic programme AUTO Point • (this divides the hour from the minutes on the display).

Comments from our cookery consultant Your oven’s various cooking modes were devised in consultation with the Scholtès cookery consultant. He is a professional chef and is an integral member of Scholtès’ research and development team. The cooking modes, temperatures and oven shelf levels reflect our expert’s own experience in the kitchen, and will allow you to achieve the best cooking results with a variety of dishes. Recommendation:

• Take care not to touch the heating elements inside the oven during use, as they become very hot.
• • Do not place dishes or aluminium foil on the interior base of the oven, as you will cause permanent damage to the enamel surface. Cooking modes Scholtès ovens use different techniques to produce, circulate and preserve heat. Your oven has 9 cooking modes, each adapted for a different type of cooking style. The symbols make it very easy to choose the function you require. Defrosting Baking for bread, buns. Pastry cooking for tarts and quiches Roasting for au gratin dishes, poultry and meat Spit-roasting for roasting on the spit (door closed) Cottura Barbecue per abbrustolire e gratinare, a porta aperta Traditional for classic cooking Forced air for cooking on several levels at once Fish cooking

Defrosting Care must be taken when defrosting food so that the outer parts, which defrost first, do not develop harmful bacteria. Food is generally defrosted in the refrigerator: this is known as slow defrosting. You can halve the defrosting time by using the oven. This is suitable for: - foods to be eaten raw/uncooked (strawberries, etc.), - foods to be cooked - i.e. a chicken will defrost in half the normal time. Defrosted foods should be eaten soon after defrosting. Place food to be defrosted on a shelf at level 1. Turn knob «F» to select the symbol Note

When the food has defrosted, do not forget to turn knob «F» to «0» to switch off the oven. Baking This mode is particularly suitable for pastries (preparations using baking powder). It helps prevent the dough drying out, and favours rising before the surface becomes golden and crusty, giving beautiful baking results. Whenever the dish you are cooking requires an oven temperature which is greater than 160°C, use the “FanAssisted” cooking mode. We recommend that you preheat the oven. (preheat using the FAN-ASSISTED mode) Place your preparation on a shelf at level 1.

2 - Select the temperature with knob«T»

Recommended temperature: 160°C.

Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs «F» e «T» to «0» to switch off the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4.

Pastry cooking This cooking mode is particularly suited to tarts, quiches, etc. The pastry case bakes perfectly, while the filling does not overcook. Whenever the dish you are cooking requires an oven temperature which is greater than 180°C, use the “Traditional” cooking mode. We recommend that dishes are cooked in a preheated oven (preheat using the FAN-ASSISTED mode). Place the prepared dish on a shelf which has been positioned using the set of guide rails on level 1. Use a shelf at level 1. We recommend that you preheat the oven.

Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs off the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4. «F» e «T» to «0» to switch Roasting This cooking mode is particularly suitable for red or white meats, au gratin dishes, etc. For roasting, we recommend a temperature of 200°C. Use a shelf with the enamelled tray to catch the roasting juices, both at level 1. We recommend that you preheat the oven.

Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs off the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4. Note During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to above 200°C and keep the oven door closed.

Spit-roasting The spit unit supplied with your oven consists of: 4 spit forks 1 handle 2 supports 1 spit rod

The 2 supports should be attached to the enamelled tray, which must be placed at level 1 so that the spit rod can be attached to the motor bracket inside the oven on the right.

The meat is skewered by the spit rod and held in place with the four sliding forks which are then tightened onto the spit rod with thumbscrews. Note When you are assembling the spit unit, take care that the spit rod is properly fitted into the motor bracket. - Push the spit rod through the centre of the piece(s) of meat, - Ensure the meat is in the centre of the spit rod.

• The detachable heatproof handle screws into the front end of the spit. - This ensures the spit rod is sufficiently long for roasting large pieces of meat. - It prevents you from burning yourself when removing the meat after roasting. Screw the handle all the way on before removing the spit. This cooking mode is particularly suitable for roasting on the spit with the oven door closed. The pieces of meat rotate slowly, browning evenly until they are cooked all the way through. Use the enamelled tray to catch the roasting juices. We recommend that you start with a cold oven.

1 - Turn knob «F» to select the symbol

Recommended temperature: 200 °C. Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4. Note During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to above 200°C and keep the oven door closed.

«F» e «T» to «0» to switch off the Barbecue cooking Keep young children away from the oven when using the Barbecue mode as some exposed parts of the oven will be hot. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking ribs of beef, grilling meat and au gratin dishes or similar, with the oven door partly open (using the notch on the door hinge). We recommend that you start with a cold oven. Use the enamelled tray at level 1 to catch the cooking juices. Place the meat on a shelf; the level of the shelf will depend on the thickness of the meat.

Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4. Note During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to above 200°C and keep the oven door closed. «F» e «T» to «0» to switch off Traditional for classic cooking This mode is particularly suitable for dishes that need to cook slowly in the oven (casseroles, etc.) or when using a bain-marie. Use a shelf at level 1. We recommend that you preheat the oven.

Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4.

Forced air cooking This mode is particularly suitable for cooking identical or different dishes on several levels. If you are cooking different types of dish at the same time, their flavours will not mingle. To use this function, all dishes must require cooking at the same temperature. We recommend that you preheat the oven.

Recommended temperature: 200°C. Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven.

Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs off the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4. «F» e «T» to «0» to switch Fish cooking This mode is particularly suitable for cooking all fish dishes, especially those that need to be left to cook slowly for a while. We recommend that you preheat the oven. Use a shelf at level 1.

Recommended temperature: 190°C.

Note Wait until the oven has heated up and the indicator light has gone out before placing the dish in the oven. Note At the end of the cooking cycle, turn knobs off the oven. Note If you wish to delay the start of cooking, or programme a cooking time, see pages 4. «F» e «T» to «0» to switch Self-decreasing by catalysis In this process, the interior walls of the oven are coated with a self-degreasing catalytic enamel. This enamel oxydizes and destroys all grease particles which splash on to the oven walls. The temperature of the walls must be over 170° for oxydization to occur. The porosity of the catalytic enamel increases the surface exchange required for oxydizing the grease particles by catalysis. Différentes étapesin d'oxydation des graisses Stages the oxidation of grease

Email catalytique Porous catalytic poreux Enamel Solid Email de masse Tôle d'acier enamel Steel sheet Towards the end of the cooking period, if there are still traces of grease particles, leave the empty oven turned on with the door closed, set the temperature selector to maximum, the function selection control to for 60 to 90 minutes according to the amount of grease residue. Hot water and a soft brush can also help remove spatterings of grease. Important: The Scholtès catalytic enamel is very resistant. However, scraping the enamel with sharp objects (a knife for example) or cleaning with detergents and abrasives should be avoided as this may cause irreversible damage to the selfdegreasing agents in the enamel. The enamel is very resistant, and enables easy sliding action of the various accessories (main rack, drip-pan, spit) without risk of damage to the enamel. Fine white dust may appear where the surfaces make contact, however this is no cause for concern. Observations:

1. If the walls need to be replaced, they are removable. Your local Scholtès distributor will supply you with a new set.

2. The grill element and roof are self-cleaning by the automatic destruction of residues due to the heat emitted from the element itself . 3. Other parts inside the oven such as the floor, the door the light fixture, can be cleaned with a soapy sponge. Rinse well and dry. The accessories are produced from quality materials for easy cleaning, like everyday tableware, in a dish-washer. Tips and recommendations First use:

• Before using your oven for the first time, heat it once while empty, in a well-ventilated room. We recommend that you use the “Forced air” mode at Maximum for 1 hour. If your oven gives off a lot of smoke:
• Check that you have selected the appropriate function for the dish, that you are using the right accessories and cooking at the recommended level.
• Also check the displayed temperature: it is probably too high for the dish in question.
• Check whether the oven needs cleaning. Smoke and acrid odours are often the result of charred deposits stuck to the enamel. If the fan continues to operate after the cooking ends:
• Do not be surprised if the fan continues to function even if you have turned the oven off. It will stop automatically once the oven has cooled sufficiently. If the oven does not heat up:
• Check: - that the electrical fuses have not blown, - that the circuit breaker has not been triggered, - that there is no mains power supply failure. If the problem persists, contact your Distributor or After-Sales Service representative.
