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
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 preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT
indicator light will stay on: 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.

- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
0 position.

How to use the timer *

1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise
almost one complete revolution.

2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the knob with the
indicator on the control panel.

3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected
time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.

! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.

GB

! 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, 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.

* Only on certain models

Cooking modes

GB

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 60°C and Max, except for

 GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power

level);

 GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

= TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use
one cooking rack only; if more than one rack is used,
the heat will be distributed unevenly.

> MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top and bottom), as well as
the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant
throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food
uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at
the same time.

? TOP OVEN mode

The top heating element comes on. This mode can be
used to brown food at the end of cooking.

@ GRILL mode

The top heating element comes on. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high temperature on the surface: such as
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the Practical
Cooking Advice paragraph. Always cook in this mode
with the oven door closed.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-

assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn

temperature sensitive foods.

! In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place

the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking

residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

 Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires

more heat on 2.

 Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack

on top.

GRILL

 Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in

the centre of the rack.

 We recommend that you set the maximum power

level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.

PIZZA

 For best results when cooking pizza, use the

MULTI-COOKING mode.

 Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the

rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan

(prevents crust from forming by extending cooking
time).

 If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend

adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.

A GRATIN mode

The top heating element, as well as the fan, will
come on. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of
the heating elements through forced circulation of the
air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food
from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door closed.
