Introduction

Your new electric oven is guaranteed* and will give lasting service. This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance
has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet.

To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully.

The oven is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation.

Note: When the oven is first used, an odour may be omitted - this will cease after a short period of use.

To help remove the 'new' smell, heat the empty oven to maximum temperature for a minimum of two to three hours,
keeping the door/s closed. Ensure that the room is well ventilated (eg. open a window or use an extractor fan) and that
persons who may be sensitive to the odour avoid any fumes. It is suggested that any pets be removed from the room
until the smell has ceased.

This odour is due to any temporary finish on oven linings and elements and any moisture absorbed by the insulation.

* The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance:

(a) Has been used solely in accordance with this booklet.
(b) Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate, attached to the
appliance.
(c) Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the
manufacturers authorised employee or agent.
(d) Has been correctly installed.

inside the appliance before switching on for the first time.

- check the soundness of the appliance after it has been
unpacked.

- make sure you understand the controls before using the
appliance.

- keep children away from the appliance during use, as

of steam or heat to disperse.

- use dry, good quality oven gloves when removing items.

- take care to avoid heat/steam burns when operating the
controls.

- switch off the electricity supply at the wall switch, and
allow to cool, before cleaning or performing maintenance..

THE COOKING FUNCTION SELECTOR

It comprises 10 marks represented in order by the following
pictograms:
«0» : stop

: oven light

The oven light stays on during cooking, in whatever
cooking mode (with the exception of Fast Clean).

If you decide to delay the cooking start, the oven light
comes on as soon as you programme the start and stays
on until the cooking is finished.

: "Traditional"

This cooking mode is suitable for cooking individual dishes.
Two heating elements (one at the top of the oven and the
other at the bottom) work together.
The air heats up upon contact with these heat sources,
and circulates around the inside of the oven to provide
uniform heat, as the hot, lighter air tends to rise. This is
caused by natural convection. This cooking mode is
especially recommended when cooking simmered recipes
using covered casserole dishes (hotpots, tripe, etc.) or
for Bain Marie cooking (crème caramel, terrines, etc.).
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2

nd

shelf position from the oven bottom.

: "Fast cooking"

The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This particular cooking mode is ideal for fast cooking
(not requiring any pre-heating) and for cooked dishes
(frozen, pre-cooked food).
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.

: "Multicooking"

The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This cooking mode is recommended for cooking several
dishes on more than one shelf.
Even if the dishes vary in nature, their respective flavours
are maintained during cooking.
When using this cooking mode, all the dishes should
require the same cooking temperature (you just need to
take them out gradually as each one is ready). When
cooking on two shelves, for example, use the baking tray
as a dish support on the first shelf position from the bottom
and the shelf on the third shelf position from the bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

: "Pastry"

Only the circular heating element at the back of the oven
and the fan come on to provide delicate heat, suitable for
baking cakes and pastries such as brioches, chocolate
cake, fruitcake, sponge cake, mini cup cakes, meringues,
etc.
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.

: "Pizza"

The heating elements (bottom and circular) are turned on
to heat the oven up quickly.
Your pizzas and tarts will benefit from a greater amount
of heat from below, thus guaranteeing the rapid baking of
the dough during cooking. As for the fan, the latter browns
the surface as necessary, making the food even more
appetising.
Use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the
1st shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
