! 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
produce a slightly unpleasant odour caused by the
burning away of protective substances used during
the manufacturing process.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the
THERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table for
cooking modes and the suggested cooking
temperatures (see Cooking Modes).
3. When preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT
indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR
knob.
- change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to
avoid damaging the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
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.
How to use the timer *
1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise
almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the knob with the
indicator on the control panel.
3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected
time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.
! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.
Clock with Country Style timer *
How to reset the correct time
The oven must be plugged in.
Pull the knob and turn it clockwise until you set the
correct time.
! The programmer is electrically powered, therefore
in the event of a power shortage, it will stop working
for the entire duration of the same. Following this
power failure, the correct time will have to be reset.
Timer Feature
The timer feature allows you to enter a given amount
of time from which the timer begins to count down.
This feature does not turn the oven on or off; it
merely sounds when the time has elapsed.
How to set the timer
Turn the knob clockwise until the marker lines up
with the desired time (internal scale), which can be
seen in the “window”.
The time countdown will begin immediately.
To interrupt the timer buzzer, or to use only the clock
feature, set the marker to the symbol.
