The electronic

cooking programmer

This feature allows you to program the oven or the grill

as follows:

 delayed cooking time for a specified period;

 immediate start for a specified period;

 timer.

Button Functions:

: Timer with hours and minutes;

: cooking time;

: end cooking time;

: Manual change;

(

: set cooking time (to count down);

)

: set cooking time (to start from zero)

How to reset the digital clock

After the appliance has been connected to the power

supply, or after a power cut, the clock display will

automatically reset to 0:00 and begin to blink.  Press the $ and % buttons consecutively and

then reset the time (within 4 seconds) using the

The time can also be changed in the following two

ways:

1. Repeat all of the steps above.

2. Press the ( button, and then use the ) and *

buttons to reset the time.

Manual operation of the oven

Once the time has been set, the programmer

automatically switches to manual mode.

! Press the ( button to restore the manual mode after

every Automatic cooking session.

Delayed cooking time for a specified period

The total cooking time as well as the time at which the

cooking will finish must be set. If we assume that the

time display reads10:00:

1. Turn the oven control knob to the setting and tempe-

rature desired (example: static oven mode at 200°C).

2. Press the button $ and then set the cooking time (within four seconds) using the ) and * buttons.

Supposing the cooking time is set to 30 minutes, the

3. Press the button % and then use the ) and * buttons

to set the time for when the cooking program should

end. Let us imagine this time to be 1:00 p.m.

4. After the button has been released, the current time

will be displayed after approximately 4 seconds:

When auto is on, it indicates that the length of

cooking time and the time it is due to finish have been

programmed in automatic mode. At this point, the

oven will turn on automatically at 12:30 and turn off

after 30 minutes. When the oven is turned on, the

symbol m will be displayed for the entire cooking time.

The cooking duration can be displayed at any time by

pressing the button $ , and the time it is due to finish may be displayed by pressing the button % .

Once cooking is completed, the timer will ring; to turn

it off, simply press any button except the ) and *

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking

modes between 60°C and Max, except for

 BARBECUE (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, bottom and circular), 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.

BARBECUE mode

than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of

the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan come on,

guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and

uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for

baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such

as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain

tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.

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 BARBECUE 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.

The top heating element comes on.

The high and direct temperature of the grill is

recommended for food that requires high surface

temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven

door closed.

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.

PIZZA mode

The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as

the fan, will come on. This combination heats the oven

rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat,

particularly from the bottom element. If you use more

 Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack

on top.

BARBECUE

 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 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.

disposing of the old appliance.

 The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE),

requires that old household electrical appliances

must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted

municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be

collected separately in order to optimise the

recovery and recycling of the materials they contain

and reduce the impact on human health and the

environment. The crossed out wheeled bin

symbol on the product reminds you of your

obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance

it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct

disposal of their old appliance.

Respecting and conserving the

environment

 By using the appliance in the hours between late

afternoon and early morning, you can help reduce

the work load placed on electrical companies.

 Do not place flammable materials in the oven: if the

appliance is switched on by mistake, it could catch

fire.

 Always make sure the knobs are in the l/

position when the appliance is not in use.

¡

 Always keep the oven door closed when using the

BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: to attain best

results and to save energy (approximately 10%).

 Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to

ensure they are free of debris so that they stick

properly to the door and do not allow heat to

disperse.

Please dispose of packaging and old appliances carefully. To minimise the risk of injury to children, remove the

door, plug and cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance. Dispose of these parts separately to ensure that the

appliance can no longer be plugged into a mains socket, and the door cannot be locked shut.
