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. Make sure 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.

To make the setting process easier, keep the knob in position: this will
increase the scrolling speed of the numbers on the display.
!
Each setting will automatically be stored in the appliance memory after 10
seconds.

The touch controls cannot be activated if the user is wearing gloves.

Starting the oven
1. Switch the control panel on by pressing the icon. The appliance buzzer
sounds three times (ascending) and all buttons light up in sequence.
2. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob. The
display shows:
- the temperature associated with the mode, if programming manually;
- “Auto” and the duration alternately, if programming is automatic.
3. Press the
icon to begin cooking.
4. The oven will begin its preheating phase, the preheating indicators will light
up as the temperature rises.
5. When the preheating process has finished, a buzzer sounds and all the
preheating indicator lights show that this stage has been completed: the food

6. During cooking it is always possible to:
- modify the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob (manual
modes only);
- set the duration of a cooking mode (see Cooking Modes);
- press the icon to stop cooking. In this case the appliance stores the
temperature modified previously in its memory (manual modes only);
- switch off the oven by pressing the icon for 3 seconds.
7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic
system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at
which it was interrupted, provided that the temperature has not dropped below
a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not yet started will
not be restored and must be reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode
has been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a blackout occurs. When the
power supply is restored, the mode will have to be reprogrammed).
! The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds from selecting
the desired cycle.

There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode.

Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the
enamel coating from being damaged.

as towards the bottom of the oven door.At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN
mode, the cooling fan operates at low speed.
