Start-up and use
WARNING! The oven is
provided with a stop system
to extract the racks and
prevent them from coming
out of the oven (1). As
shown in the drawing, to
extract them completely,
simply lift the racks, holding
them on the front part, and pull (2).
! The rst time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven
with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least
half an hour. Make sure 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.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT
knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes
and the suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking
Modes).
3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that
the oven is heating up to the temperature set.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT
knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0”
position.
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to avoid
damaging the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven,
some models are tted 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 sufciently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting
with the SELECTOR knob.
It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.
How to use the timer*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise almost
one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align
the minutes shown on the TIMER knob with the indicator
on the control panel.
3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected time
has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.
! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.
Modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on.
With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one
cooking rack only; if more than one rack is used, the heat
will be distributed unevenly.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top and bottom), as well as the fan,
will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout
the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A
maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
TOP OVEN mode
The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used
to brown food at the end of cooking.
GRILL mode
The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and
direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown
the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices
to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended
for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface:
such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, lets, hamburgers
etc... Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with
the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on.
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of
the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements
through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface,
allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always
cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
* Only available in certain models.
