HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN

Turn the selector knob to the required function. The oven light switches on.

Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the required temperature. The red thermostat led lights up, switching off again when the oven reaches the selected temperature. At the end of cooking, turn the knobs to “0”.

We recommend using the grill with the oven thermostat set to 250°C but this can be reduced if a less intentensive heat is required.
