Start-up and use
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may
produce a slightly unpleasant odour caused by the
burning away of protective substances used during
the manufacturing process.
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, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between
the control panel and the oven door, as well as
towards the bottom of the oven door.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
continues to operate until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Oven light
When selecting
with the SELECTOR knob the
oven light goes on. It remains lit when a cooking
mode is selected.
