• Change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to
the “0” position.
 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.
OPERATION indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
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 with the knob, the
light is switched on without any of the heating
elements being activated.
Cooking modes
 A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
X 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.
K
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.
9
FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan come on,
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.
;
MULTI-COOKING 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.
Z
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.
d
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is switched on.
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.
A
GRATIN
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present)
are activated and the fan begins to operate. 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.
 The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
