Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the required temperature. The red thermostat led lights up, switching off again when the oven reaches the selected

HOW TO USE THE HOB
The oven control panel features 4 adjustable knobs (from 0 to 6) that control hob operation.
To turn on the electric hotplates:
•
Turn the control knob of the relevant hotplate clockwise to the desired power setting (see the instructions supplied with the hob).
IMPORTANT:
• When using the hotplates for the first time, set the knobs to 6 and allow them to operate for approx. 3 minutes in order to eliminate odours,
placing a pot with an appropriate diameter and half full of water on each.
• Do not leave the hot plates turned on when they are empty.
• Use pots and pans specifically designed for electric hobs, particularly those with multiple layer flat-bottoms.
• Use pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the hotplates, or slightly larger.

CONVENTIONAL
Function suitable for cooking any type of dish on one shelf. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and place the food in it
when the set temperature is reached. It is advisable to use the second or third shelf for cooking. This function is also suitable for
cooking frozen convenience foods; follow the instructions on the food packaging.
CONVECTION
BAKE
To bake cakes with liquid filling (sweet or savoury) on a single level. This function is ideal also for cooking on two levels. If
necessary, switch the positions of the dishes to cook food more evenly.
GRILL
To grill steak, kebabs and sausages, to cook vegetables au gratin and to toast bread. Preheat the oven for 3-5 min. During cooking
the oven door must remain closed. When cooking meat, pour a little water into the drip tray (on the first level) to reduce smoke
and fat spatters. Ideally the meat should be turned during cooking.
TURBOGRILL
To grill large joints of meat (roast beef and other roast meats). The oven door must be kept closed during the cooking cycle. When
cooking meat, it is advisable to pour water in the drip-tray placed on the first level. This will reduce smoke and spattering of fat.
Turn the meat during grilling.
DEFROSTING
This function can be used to speed up the thawing of food at room temperature. The food should be placed in the oven in its
wrapping to avoid it from drying out.
