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.

Using the glass ceramic hob
GB
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.
