Start-up and use
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).
!
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 preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT indicator light will stay
on: place the food in the oven.
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 oven bottom to avoid damaging the enamel
coating.
!
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 the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on 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.

!
All settings are only possible if the oven is connected to the electricity mains.
If the power supply fails for longer than 10 seconds, the programmer stops:
when power is restored, the CLOCK icon flashes to indicate that there has
been a powercut and that the time needs to be adjusted again.
If the powercut occurs during a set cooking programme, the programmed
time begins again from the point at which it was stopped (e.g. if a cooking
duration of 1 hour is programmed and a powercut lasting 30 minutes takes
place, the programme will finish after 1 hour and 30 minutes). In this case too,
the CLOCK icon flashes and the time will need to be reset.
MANUAL COOKING
If no programming has been activated, the oven can be operated manually,
using the SELECTOR and THERMOSTAT knobs.
Setting the minute minder
!
This function does not interrupt cooking and does not affect the oven; it is
simply used to activate the buzzer when the set amount of time has elapsed.
The minute minder can only be used when no set programming is underway.
To activate the minute minder, briefly press the knob 3 times until the MINUTE
MINDER icon begins to flash. The minute minder is set in exactly the same
way as the cooking end time (see corresponding paragraph).
Setting the time
To adjust the time indicated by the pointers, briefly press the knob 4 times
until the CLOCK icon begins to flash.
Then, to increase or decrease the displayed time value in steps of 1 minute,
turn the knob clockwise or anticlockwise; the minutes pointer moves clockwise
or anticlockwise accordingly, in steps of 1 minute.
Once 10 seconds have elapsed since the most recent adjustment, the
programmer automatically exits adjustment mode.
Programming cooking
Programming a cooking duration with immediate start
Programming the cooking end time makes it possible to begin cooking
immediately and end automatically in accordance with the programmed time.
To programme the cooking end time, briefly press the knob twice until the
END OF COOKING icon begins to flash.
To increase or decrease the cooking time in steps of 1 minute, turn the
knob clockwise or anticlockwise; the minutes pointer moves clockwise or
anticlockwise accordingly, in steps of 1 minute.
The END OF COOKING icon flashes continuously for 10 seconds after the
most recent rotation. The programme can be confirmed by pressing the knob
or letting the 10 seconds elapse, provided that a cooking time of at least 1
minute has been programmed.
The END OF COOKING icon lights up to confirm programming has taken
place successfully.
Select the desired cooking mode using the SELECTOR knob.
The oven switches on immediately and switches off at the set end of cooking
time.
To view the set programme, briefly press and release the knob; the pointers
and icons will display the set programme.
At the end of cooking, the END OF COOKING icon flashes and the alarm
sounds for 1 minute (to silence it, briefly press the knob).
Turn the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.
• For example: it is 9:00 and the cooking end time is set to 10:15. The
programme begins immediately and stops automatically at 10:15, with a
duration of 1 hour 15 minutes.
Programming a cooking duration with delayed start
Programming the cooking start time makes it possible to end cooking
automatically in accordance with the programmed time.
