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 prevent the enamel coating from being
damaged.
!!!!! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating
heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven
reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately,
indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by selecting using the
SELECTOR knob. It remains lit when a cooking
mode is selected.
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.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
continues to operate until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Using the cooking timer
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING
TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be
used as a normal timer.
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the 9 symbol.
Cooking modes
! A temperature value between 50°C and MAX can
be set for all cooking modes except the following:
• 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. 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 in an uneven manner.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched
on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a
delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire
oven. 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
The heating elements and the fan are activated,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently
and uniformly throughout the oven. 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.
MULTILEVEL mode
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.
PIZZA mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at
the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan
is activated. 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.
