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. 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.
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the
oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being
damaged.
Always place cookware on the racks provided.
During use, we suggest removing any crockery or
delicate foodstuffs from the recesses not in function.
We suggest not opening the door when cooking
foodstuffs which require leavening, so as to not
compromise cooking results.
If the door is subject to repeated jerking, the
divider may come out of its housing. If this
happens, the time will appear on the display. Make
sure that the divider is correctly installed then re-
start cooking.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between
the control panel and the oven door.
Once cooking is completed, the cooling fan
activates and deactivates automatically until the
oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be
switched on at any time by opening the oven door.
Setting the clock
This may only be set while the oven is switched
off.
1. Press the
button until the first numerical digit
flashes on the display and the
, and icons
are switched off.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards + and - to
adjust the hour value.
3. Press the
button again so that the other two
numerical digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.
4. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards + and - to
adjust the minute value.
5. Press the
button again to confirm.
Setting the timer
This function does not interrupt cooking and does
not affect the oven; it is simply used to activate the
buzzer when the set amount of time has elapsed.
1. Press the
button until the icon and the three
digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards + and - to
adjust the minute value.
3. Press the
button again to confirm.
The display will then show the time as it counts
down. When this period of time has elapsed the
buzzer will be activated.
ExtraLarge Space
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking function by turning the
EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob. If the
icon on the display is lit, this indicates that the
ExtraLarge Space has been selected and therefore
that only the settings corresponding to the
ExtraLarge Space may be used.
2. The oven will begin its preheating stage. The
temperature may be changed by turning the
TEMPERATURE knob. The
indicator light flashes
during the pre-heating stage.
3. Once the pre-heating stage is completed, the
icon stops flashing (becomes fixed) and a buzzer
sounds. It is now possible to introduce foodstuffs
into the oven.
4. During cooking it is always possible to:
- Change the cooking function by turning the
EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob.
- Adjust the temperature using the TEMPERATURE
knob (for the universal cooking functions only).
- Set a duration (for universal cooking functions only)
and the cooking end time.
- Stop cooking by turning the EXTRALARGE SPACE
FUNCTION knob to the 0 position.
5. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in
operation, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking function from the point at
which it was interrupted, as long as the temperature
has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed
cooking modes which have not started will not be
restored and must be reprogrammed.
When using the oven in its ExtraLarge
configuration, it will not be possible to use the Main
and Small Space features: the SMALL SPACE and
MAIN SPACE FUNCTION knobs will be disabled.
