Start-up and use
! The first 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.
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning
the THERMOSTAT knob.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested
cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant
table (
see Oven cooking advice table).
During cooking it is always possible to:
• Change the cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
• Set the total cooking time and the cooking end
time ( see below).
• 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. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
! 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 turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long
as the oven is operating. By selecting
8 8 8 8 8 with the
knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.
Cooking modes
! A temperature value between 50°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 be
activated. 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.
OVEN 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 and cooking temperature
sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and
for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as
well as the fan, will be activated. 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 OVEN 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.
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element and the
rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. The
high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited
amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small
dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it
will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the
corners.
