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 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 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.

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.
