Start-up and use
Setting the time
In order to use the timer, it must be wound by turning
the TIMER knob almost one complete turn in the
clockwise direction
. Then, turning it back , set
the desired time by lining up the number for the
minutes with the mark on the control panel.
Using the oven
! 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. Ensure 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 avoid the enamel coating being damaged.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning
the THERMOSTAT knob.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested
cooking temperatures can be found in the relevant
table (see Oven cooking advice table).
During cooking it is always possible to:
• 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.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches
the selected temperature. At this point the light
illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating
that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the
temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as
the oven is operating. By selecting
&
with the knob,
the light is switched on without any of the heating
elements being activated.
Cooking modes for electric oven
The maxi-oven gives four combinations of heating
elements; so the most suitable type of cooking for
each dish may therefore be chosen, with convincing
results.
By turning the knob of the selector switch marked
with the symbol
, different cooking functions are
obtained, as shown in the following table:
Symbol Function Power
0
0) Off -
1) Top + Bottom heating
elements
2350 W
2) Bottom heating element 1300 W
3) Top heating element 1050 W
4) Grill heating element 2000 W
After having selected the heat source, put the
thermostat knob (marked with the symbol
) to
the temperature required.
For normal cooking (roasts, biscuits, etc.) in
conventional mode use the function
(hot
above+below). Only put the food to be cooked
into the oven when it has reached the selected
temperature and preferably use just one shelf for
cooking.
To provide heat only to the bottom or the top part
of the dishes, turn the selector to the position
(hot below) or (hot above);
Grill operation: a high heat output is used for
grilling, so that the surface of the food is
immediately browned; this is particularly indicated
for meats which should remain tender inside. To
grill, turn the selector knob to the position
(grill),
During grilling, do not set the thermostat knob to
over 200 °C and keep the oven door closed.
