oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for

by protective substances used during the manufacturing
process burning away.

anticlockwise direction to set the correct time.
! The clock can only be set
if the oven is connected

the correct time will need to
be reset once the power has
returned.

Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven,
some models are fitted with a cooling fan that blows out air
between the control panel and the oven door.
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting with the SELECTOR knob. It
stays on when a cooking mode is selected.
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 symbol.
Modes
! A temperature value between 60°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
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 unevenly.
BAKING mode
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
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
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.
