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.
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 bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel
coating being damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models
are fitted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and
the oven door.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate
until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting
with the SELECTOR knob. It stays on when a
cooking mode is selected.
How to use the
minute minder
1. To set the buzzer, turn the MINUTE MINDER knob clockwise almost one
complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes
shown on the MINUTE MINDER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. The minute minder when the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.
! The minute minder does not turn the oven on or off.
Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and
Max, except for
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
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).
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
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 will be distributed unevenly.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top and bottom), 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.
TOP OVEN mode
The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food
at the end of cooking.
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, filets, hamburgers etc... Some grilling examples are included
in the "Practical Cooking Advice" paragraph. Always cook in this mode with
the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination
of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the
oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat
to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door
closed.
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 and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position
1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
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
• For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-COOKING mode.
• 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.
