OVEN FUNCTIONS

Your multifunction oven allows you to cook dishes requiring the same cooking temperature simultaneously. Where the dishes do not have the same cooking time, take the dishes out of the oven as and when they are ready. In oven cooking, each dish retains its personality, with neither odour nor taste being transferred. So these can be cooked together: fish, meat, vegetables, cakes and pastries. Cakes and pastries should preferably be placed on the upper shelf levels, above other items to be cooked. Note: The energy consumption required for the simultaneous cooking of several dishes is less than that required to cook the same dishes separately.

0 Off

This function allows the natural defrosting of food to be speeded up. It can also be used to cool some dishes more easily before they are eaten cold or lukewarm.

This position is to be used for:

- Cakes and pastries made with soft pastry so as to retain more smoothness.

- Tarts and quiches that will be well browned top and bottom.

- Gratins that will be perfectly browned and tasty.

Two dishes can be cooked simultaneously by alternating their levels once during cooking.

Pre-heat the oven to the cooking temperature setting in order to “seal” the item to be cooked as soon as it is put in the oven.

- Put in the oven as soon as the thermostat light goes out.

- Always use deep dishes and place them on the centre shelf of the oven.

- Use the two lower shelf levels preferably.

This function is especially recommended for cooking meat that needs sealing (rib roast, cutlets..) but which must stay juicy.

- Fish also becomes softer; turn them once while cooking.

- Accessible parts can become hot when the grill is used. Keep children away.

This function lets you grill meat, kebabs and fish of different sizes.

- Put them in the oven in accordance with the positions indicated in the cooking chart and place the multi-purpose drip tray on the bottom shelf runner to collect the juices if the meat is placed directly on a grid.

- Accessible parts can become hot when the grill is used. Keep children away.

- Turnspit cooking is very practical and results in tasty poultry and meat, very evenly cooked through.

- Accessible parts can become hot when the grill is used. Keep children away.

Refer to the section on "Pyrolytic Cleaning" in the separate instructions for use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting the timer: Press knob (B) and turn it anti-clockwise. Setting the cooking start time: Press knob (A) “Start Cooking” and turn it anti-clockwise. Setting the cooking time: Turn knob (B) “Cooking Time” anti-clockwise without pressing it.

A sound signal indicates the end of cooking. To stop it, turn knob (B), without pressing, to position .

Manual operation: turn knob (B) without pressing to position .

STARTING THE OVEN

- To operate the oven:

- Turn the oven selector knob to the desired cooking function.

- Turn the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature. For self-cleaning, there is no need to set the

temperature.

- Set the timer knobs.

IMPORTANT CAUTION

This oven model is fitted with a “stay-cool door”. Nevertheless, when the self-cleaning function is in operation, some parts of the appliance can become very hot: children must be kept away.

Do not line your oven with aluminium foil: the resultant build-up of heat could impair the operation of the oven. When the self-cleaning function is in operation, all non-enamelled accessories must be removed from the oven. The “stay-cool door” means that the temperature on the exterior of the front glass panel will be about 40 °C when the temperature inside the oven is 200 °C. Since this temperature on the front of the appliance is only a little higher than the temperature of the human body it ensures total user safety. This type of door also substantially reduces the temperature on the front of the appliance when the self-cleaning function is in operation (a reduction of about 40% compared with a conventional door). Nevertheless, the higher oven temperatures reached during operation of this function mean that children must be supervised with particular care.

- Preheat the oven for 10 to 15 minutes at the selected temperature before putting the dishes in. Influence of foodstuffs and containers

The nature, weight, size and shape of foodstuffs play an important part in cooking results. The shape, thickness, height and materials of containers also have a part to play in the cooking results. The position of the racks on the shelf levels is given as a guide. Consumers can make use of the containers and shelf heights according to their requirements and tastes.
