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”.

To set cooking time, after selecting the required cooking function, turn the knob right round in a clockwise direction and then turn it back in the opposite direction to the desired cooking duration. At the end of the set cooking time the oven switches off and the selector remains positioned at “0”. To use the oven in manual mode,

i.e. without setting a cooking time, make sure that the programme selector is turned to the symbol . Important: When the selector is positioned at “0” the oven will not switch on. To switch the oven on, set the selector to the symbol or set a cooking time.
