Start-up and use
! When inserting the shelf
make sure the backstop is
at the rear of the cavity (see
image).
! 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. Make sure 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.
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 lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that
the oven is heating up to the temperature set.
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.
Modes
! In order to guarantee wonderfully soft and crunchy
foodstuffs, the oven releases – in the form of water vapour -
the humidity naturally withheld in the food itself. In this way,
optimal cooking results can be achieved for all types of food.
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on.
With 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.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top and bottom), as well as the fan,
will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout
the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A
maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
PIZZA OVEN 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.
GRILL mode
The top heating element come on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended
for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always
cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element 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. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
