Start-up and use
WARNING! The oven is
provided with a stop system
to extract the racks and
prevent them from coming
out of the oven (1).
As shown in the drawing,
to extract them completely,
simply lift the racks, holding
them on the front part, and pull (2).
! 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.
! In order to optimise the cooking performance, when starting
the selected function, product settings will be applied that could
cause a delayed start of the fan and heating elements.
Setting the clock
! The clock may be set when the oven is switched off or
when it is switched on, provided that a the end time of a
cooking cycle has not been programmed previously.
1. Press the button several times until the icon and
the first two digits on the display start to flash.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust the
hour value.
3. Press the button again until the other two digits on
the DISPLAY begin to flash.
4. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust the
minute value.
5. Press the button again to confirm.
Setting the timer
! This function does not interrupt cooking and does not affect
the oven; it is simply used to activate the buzzer when the
set amount of time has elapsed.
1. Press the button several times until the icon and
the three digits on the display begin to flash.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust
the minute value.
3. Press the button again to confirm.
The display will then show the time as it counts down. When
this period of time has elapsed the buzzer will be activated.
Starting the oven
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. 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 in addition to the cooking end time
(see Cooking modes)
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0”
position.
5. 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 GRILL 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.
! The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds
from selecting the desired cycle.
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.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues
to operate 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 pressing the button .
Cooking modes
! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which
may be adjusted manually between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the GRILL mode, the default power level value is indicated
as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually.
TRADITIONAL 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.
MULTILEVEL 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.
GRILL mode
By turning the THERMOSTAT knob, the different power
levels which may be set will appear on the display; these
range between 50% and 100%. 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
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements
