USING THE OVEN
General tips
•
When cooking with the CONVECTION BAKE, PIZZA and
BROIL functions, always preheat the oven from 5 to 10 mi-
nutes to the set temperature.
•
The cooking times depend on the quality of the products,
on the temperature of the food and on personal tastes. The
times indicated in the table are subject to variation, and
do not include the time required to preheat the oven.
•
To cook frozen foods refer to the recommended times on
the product packaging.
Your oven is equipped with a cooling fan to prevent over-
heating of electronic components and ensure a longer life
of your oven. The cooling fan starts working when the
START button is pressed and stops working around 1 mi-
nutes after the end of each cooking function.
TOAST
•
The dimensions of the wire rack (
B
) allow six slices of
bread to be toasted at the same time. Best results are
achieved, however, with four slices at a time.
•
To toast the bread, place the slices as shown below:
Toasting one slice
Toasting two slices
Toasting four slices
Toasting six slices
For consecutive uses, reduce the set toasting grade.
To automatically toast frozen bread, sandwiches, muffins and
waffles, always use the wire rack.
1. Place the wire rack (
B
) in guide 2.
2. Place the food to be toasted in the center of the wire rack.
Close the door.
3. Press the FUNCTION button once to select TOAST mode.
4. Use the or button to set the desired toast
color from light to dark.
5. Press the START button. The display will show the time
counting down in 1 second intervals.
6.
At the end of the cooking function the oven will beep 8
times and the word
END
will appear on display.
7.
You can stop the cooking function by pressing PAUSE/CAN-
CEL button 1 time.
PAUSE
appears on the display. Press
START button to resume cooking. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL
button twice while cooking to switch the appliance off.
Note:
This appliance can automatically perform various degrees of toa-
sting.
If, however, lighter toasting is preferred, simply stop the auto-
matic cycle by pressing the PAUSE/CANCEL button twice to
switch the oven off, without the risk of damaging it.
For darker toasting re-start the cycle until reaching the desired
level.
Then manually turn the oven off as described previously.
The best positions for each type of bread can be identified when
using the oven regularly.
The toasting result may vary according to the type of bread that
is used.
Tips for good toasting:
Larger pieces of bread and frozen bread take longer to toast. Just
one slice of bread requires a lower setting than for multiple sli-
ces.
Many things into the “perfect” piece of toast such as bread type
and personal preference, so please use the tables below as a
starting point and alter the toasting grade to your liking.
