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 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.

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic

film from the sides of the appliance.

Starting the oven

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.

• Set the total cooking time and the cooking end

time (see below).

• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to

the “0” position.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the

oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being

damaged. Only use position 1 in the oven when

cooking with the rotisserie spit.

! 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.

BAKING BAKING

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..

Both the top and bottom heating elements will be

activated. When using this traditional cooking mode, it

is best to use only one rack at a time, otherwise the

heat will not be distributed evenly.

VEN mode

The top and bottom heating elements will switch on

and the fan will begin to operate. Since the heat remains

constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns

food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may

be used at the same time.

OPOP

mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched

on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is

recommended for food that requires a high surface

temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and

entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount

of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place

the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked

properly if it is placed in the corners.

mode

The circular heating elements and the elements at the

bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is

activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by

producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly

from the element at the bottom. If you use more than

one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes

halfway through the cooking process.
