Start-up and use
GB
! 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.

• 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,
