CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

FORCED AIR

For cooking dierent foods that require the

same cooking temperature on several shelves
(maximum three) at the same time. This function can
be used to cook dierent foods without odours being
transferred from one food to another.

MAXI COOKING

For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg).

We recommend turning the meat over during
cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We
also recommend basting the joint every so often to
prevent it from drying out excessively.

PIZZA

For baking dierent types and sizes of pizza and

bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of
the baking trays halway though cooking.

GRILL

For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages,

cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread.
When grilling meat, we recommend using a drip tray
to collect the cooking juices: Position the tray on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.

TURBO GRILL

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast

beef, chicken). We recommend using a drip tray
to collect the cooking juices: Position the tray on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.

eectively. Turn the thermostat knob to the
icon to activate this function.

DEFROSTING

For defrosting food more quickly.

2. HEAT THE OVEN

A new oven may release odours that have been left
behind during manufacturing: this is completely
normal.
Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend
heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any
possible odours.

Remove any protective cardboard or transparent lm
from the oven and remove any accessories from inside
it.

Heat the oven to 250 °C for about one hour, preferably
using the “Maxicooking” function. The oven must be
empty during this time.
Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.

Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the
appliance for the first time.
