Start-up and use
! When inserting the shelf
make sure the backstop is
at the rear of the cavity (see
image).
! 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 sufciently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting with the SELECTOR knob.
It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.
Modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for
BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power
level);
GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
LEAVENING mode
The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of 40°C
irrespective of the position of the THERMOSTAT knob. This
mode is ideal for leavening dough made with yeast.
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
distribution will be uneven.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing
the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout
the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking
temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise
and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout
the oven.
Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This
mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are
obtained if you use one cooking rack only.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), 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.
PIZZA mode
The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the fan
come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly by
producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly
from the bottom element. If you use more than one rack
simultaneously, switch the position of the dishes halfway
through the cooking process.
* Only available in certain models.
