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 SELECTOR knob.
See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the
suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking Modes)
3. When preheating is nished, the THERMOSTAT indicator
light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4. During cooking you may do the following:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob
to the grill icon. Then select the power of the grill with the
grill knob.
- change the temperature by turning the SELECTOR knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0”
position.
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional VARIABLE GRILL
knob must be set with “MAX” in line with the reference
mark on the control panel.
! 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 sufciently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting
with the SELECTOR
knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.
Modes
! GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
Thermostatically controlled oven (Fan Assisted Mode)
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol
the fan and oven light will
come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating
further to the complete range of temperatures shown on the
dial you can choose which is most suitable for the food you
are going to cook. The temperature is reached automatically
and controlled by the oven thermostat (from 60°C to MAX).
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional VARIABLE GRILL
knob must be set with “MAX” in line with the reference mark
on the control panel.
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.
To operate the grill:
1. Turn the oven SELECTOR knob clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the
control panel. The element is now “on”.
2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated to
select the required heat.
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
! In the GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping pan in
position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
GRILL
Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the
centre of the rack.
We recommend that you set the maximum power level.
The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat
and may not always be on.
PIZZA
Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents
crust from forming by extending cooking time).
If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway
through the cooking process.
* Only available in certain models.
