Start-up and use
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.
Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic
programmer, to use the electric oven, just press the
and buttons at the same time (the symbol
will appear on the display) before selecting the
desired cooking function.
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
Setting the time*
Press the
PROGRAMMER knob
and turn it in an
anticlockwise direction
to set the correct time.
The clock can only be set if the oven is connected to
the electricity mains. In case of a power failure, the
PROGRAMMER will stop: it will be necessary to re-set
the correct time once the power has returned.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning
the THERMOSTAT knob.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking
temperatures can be found in the relevant table (see
Oven cooking advice table).
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 total cooking time and the cooking end time
(see below).
• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven;
this will prevent the enamel coating from being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat. It
switches off when the inside of the oven reaches the
selected temperature. At this point the light illuminates
and switches off alternately, indicating that the
thermostat is working and is maintaining the
temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to
any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the
oven is operating. By selecting 8 with the knob, the
light is switched on without any of the heating
elements being activated.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven,
a cooling fan blows 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.
