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

cooking mode. The displays show the time and
temperature of the selected cooking mode.
3. Press the “START” button to begin cooking.
4. The oven will begin its preheating phase, and the
current preheating temperature indicator lights turn red.
The temperature may be changed by pressing the “+”
and “-” buttons on the right hand side of the control
panel.
5. When the preheating stage is complete, a buzzer
sounds and all current preheating temperature indicator
lights are illuminated: place the food in the oven.
6. During cooking it is always possible to:
- Change the temperature by pressing the “+” and “-”
buttons on the right hand side of the control panel.
- Set the cooking duration (see Cooking Modes).
- Press “STOP” to interrupt cooking.
7. The oven switches off automatically after two hours:
this default time is set for all cooking modes for safety
reasons.
The cooking duration may be changed (see Cooking
Modes).
8. If a blackout occurs, while 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 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 BARBECUE
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.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, a cooling fan generates a stream of air which
escapes between the oven control panel and the oven
door. At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN mode, the
cooling fan operates at low speed.
Once the 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 opening the oven door.
