! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature
for at least half and 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.
Setting the clock and timer
The time can only be set on the clock when the
SELECTOR knob is set to position “0”.
After the appliance has been connected to the power
supply, or after a blackout, the clock display will
automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink.
To set the time:
1. turn the THERMOSTAT knob;
2. press button
to confirm:
Repeat to set the minutes. To make any changes,
press button
and repeat the steps described
above.
The timer operates in minutes: when the selected time
has elapsed, a buzzer will sound. After one minute the
buzzer will automatically stop or when any button is
pressed.
To set the timer, press button
and repeat the steps
described to set the clock. The icon will remind
you the timer is on.
! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. The oven will start the pre-heating phase, during
which the icon will flash on the display, and the
cooking temperature associated with the mode
selected appears.
The temperature may be changed by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
3. When preheating is finished, a buzzer sounds and
the icon appears on the display: 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.
- set the cooking time as well as the end cooking time
(see Cooking Modes);
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
5. The oven switches off automatically after two hours:
this default time is set for all cooking modes for safety
reasons.
The cooking time may be changed (see Cooking
Modes).
6. In case of a blackout, if the oven was already
operating, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking mode from where it was
interrupted as long as the temperature did not drop
below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes
which have not started will not be restored and must
be reprogrammed.
! There is no preheating in the FAST COOKING and
BARBECUE modes.
! 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, a cooling fan blows air between the control
panel and the oven door. In the FAST COOKING
mode, the fan goes on automatically after ten minutes.
In the BAKING mode, the cooling fan goes on only
when the oven is hot. At the beginning of the FAST
CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low speed.
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling
fan remains on until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Oven light
When the oven is off, the lamp can be turned on at
any time by pressing the button or by opening the
oven door.
