cooking modes which have not started will not be
restored and must be reprogrammed.
Cooking functions
GRILL function
The top heating element is activated. By turning the
TEMPERATURE knob, the different power levels
which may be set will appear on the display; these
range between 5% and 100%. The high and direct
temperature of the grill is recommended for food
which requires a high surface temperature. This
function is particularly suitable for browning food,
cooking gratins, colouring meringues, making
toasted sandwiches and grilling small quantities of
thin, lean meat. Always cook in this mode with the
oven door closed.
FAST COOKING function
This function requires the oven to be preheated. This
function is particularly suitable for cooking pre-
packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked).
Main Space
Starting the oven
1. Fit the DIVIDER to the DIVIDER shelf “D” using
the pin, with the arrows turned towards the rear part
of the oven. After it has been fitted correctly, you will
be able to read the text “OPENSPACE” on the front
part of the DIVIDER frame. A buzzer will sound to
confirm that the DIVIDER has been fitted correctly; it
will then be possible to use the two Main and Small
space compartments separately or at the same
time.
The EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob will be
disabled.
2. Select the desired cooking function by turning the
MAIN SPACE FUNCTION knob.
3. The oven will begin its preheating stage. The
temperature may be changed by turning the
TEMPERATURE knob. The indicator light flashes
during the pre-heating stage.
4. Once the pre-heating stage is completed, the
icon stops flashing (becomes fixed) and a buzzer
sounds. It is now possible to introduce foodstuffs
into the oven.
5. During cooking it is always possible to:
- Change the temperature by turning the
TEMPERATURE knob.
- Set the cooking duration in addition to the cooking
end time.
- Stop cooking by turning the MAIN SPACE
FUNCTION knob to the “0” position.
6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in
operation, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking function from the point at
which 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.
Cooking functions
UNIVERSAL function
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since
the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the
air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A
maximum of three racks may be used at the same
time. If you are using several racks at the same
time, we recommend you place the dripping pan on
shelf level 1. If you are cooking on 3 levels at the
same time, we recommend you place the shelves on
racks 3 and 5, and the dripping pan on rack 1.
Using the Small Space and Main Space
at the same time
Starting the oven
1. Fit the DIVIDER to the DIVIDER shelf “D” using
the pin, with the arrows turned towards the rear part
of the oven. After it has been fitted correctly, you will
be able to read the text “OPENSPACE” on the front
part of the DIVIDER frame. A buzzer will sound to
confirm that the DIVIDER has been fitted correctly; it
will then be possible to use the two Main and Small
space compartments separately or at the same
time.
The EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob will be
disabled.
In order to improve the oven’s energy efficiency,
the pre-heating time of the SMALL SPACE cavity
lasts about 15 minutes.
If the MAIN SPACE is set at a temperature below
150°C, in order to safeguard the cooking results, the
grill function will not start: the display will visualise
“OFF.”
2. Select the desired cooking function for each
recess by turning the SMALL SPACE FUNCTION
and/or MAIN SPACE FUNCTION knobs. The icon
indicates that the Small Space has been selected
and that it is therefore possible to adjust the Small
Space settings; the icon lit up on the display
indicates that the Main Space has been selected
