Using the oven
! 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.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. The oven begins its preheating stage and the
preheating indicator lights up.
The temperature may be changed by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob
3. When the preheating indicator
switches off
and a buzzer sounds the preheating process is
complete: you may now place the food in the oven.
4. The DISPLAY will show the icon , which
indicates the recommended shelf level for the tray.
5. 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 cooking duration and the end cooking time
(
see Cooking Modes)
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
6. The oven switches off automatically after two
hours: this default period of time is set for all
cooking modes for safety reasons.
The cooking time may be modified (
see Cooking
Modes).
7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in
operation, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking mode from where it was
interrupted as long as the temperature has not
dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking
modes which have not started will not be restored
and must be reprogrammed.
!!!!! There is no preheating stage for the BARBECUE
mode.
!!!!! 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,
a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control
panel and the oven door. At the beginning of the FAST
CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low
speed.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be
switched on at any time by opening the oven door.
