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 emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.
Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
Starting the oven
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol
will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen
food. Rotating further to the complete range of
temperatures shown on the dial you can choose
which is most suitable for the food you are going to
cook (fan assisted mode). The temperature is
reached automatically and controlled by the oven
thermostat (from 60°C to 240°C).
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional cooking
VARIABLE GRILL knob must be set with MAX in
line with the reference mark on the control panel.
Grill
The top heating element will come on. On this
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation
given off in the downward direction by the electric
heating element. The very high temperature and
direct heat of the grill make it possible to brown
meats on the surface while locking in the juices to
keep them tender.
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being
damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating
heat. It switches off when the inside of the oven
reaches the selected temperature. At this point the
light illuminates and switches off alternately,
indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.
the fan and oven light
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than 0. It remains lit as long
as the oven is operating. By selecting
knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.
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.
with the
Using the cooking timer*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING
TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be
used as a normal timer.
To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the '
symbol.
Using the grill pan kit
Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into
the small recess (fig. 1), tilt it upwards and slide it
towards the centre (fig. 2).
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The
best results are achieved by placing the oven rack
on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into
the grill pan will make the collection of grease
particles more efficient and prevent the formation of
smoke.

Cooking advice
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan
should be used at a time. The rack or pan should be
inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on
whether the food needs more heat from the top or
bottom.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally
required for leavened foods), we recommend using
the "conventional" oven feature which makes it
possible to reach the temperature desired in a very
short time. After the oven has been preheated, the
thermostat light will turn off. At this point, you can
select the most suitable setting to cook the dish.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it
from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and
fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For
red meat that should be well done on the outside
while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea
to start with a high temperature setting
(200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven
down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the
lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the
centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it
to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the
centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the
amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights.
For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game),
dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
Cooking Pastries
Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do
not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from
dropping.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that
the cooking time is not excessive. In general:
Pastry is too dry
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
I used more than one level and they are not all at
the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to
remove the food from all the racks at the same time.
Using the Grill
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be
selected by turning the SELECTOR knob in a
clockwise direction to align the symbols
the mark on the control panel. The VARIABLE GRILL
knob is positioned to right of the SELECTOR knob.
This knob will provide varying grill temperatures
when rotated from max to min and may be
adjusted to vary the level of heat at any time during
the grilling operation.
To operate the grill
1. Turn the SELECTOR knob clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on
the control panel. The element is now on.
2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated
to select the required heat.
with
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
6
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower
levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat
and prevent smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom
rack level.

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
Switching the cooking zones on and off
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the corresponding
knob in a clockwise direction.
To switch it off again, turn the knob in an
anticlockwise direction until it is in the "0" position.
If the ACTIVE HOTPLATE ON indicator light is lit,
this shows that at least one hotplate on the hob is
switched on.

Practical advice on using the hob
Use pans with a thick, flat base to ensure that
they adhere perfectly to the cooking zone.
Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the heat produced.
Always make sure that the base of the pan is
completely clean and dry: this ensures that the
pans adhere perfectly to the cooking zones and
that both the pans and the hob last for a longer
period of time.
Avoid using the same cookware that is used on
gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
Never leave a cooking zone switched on without a
pan on top of it, as doing so may cause the zone
to become damaged.

Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then
dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough
abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these
could scratch the surface and cause the glass to
crack.
The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts
and the rubber seals may be cleaned using a
sponge that has been soaked in lukewarm water
and neutral soap. Use specialised products for the
removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning, rinse and
dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive powders or
corrosive substances.
The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned
after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.
The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
Dirt and grease should be removed from the control
panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents containing phosphorus. After
cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly. Any
remaining drops of water should also be dried.
+leaning the glass ceramic hob
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example,
products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens),
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or
sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the
surface beyond repair.
It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using
a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen
roll.
If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic
dry thoroughly.
To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable
scraper (this is not supplied with the appliance).
Remove spills as soon as possible, without
for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming
crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by
using a rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically
designed for glass ceramic sur
