pressed for 30 minutes and the control panel/door lock has not been activated,
the appliance automatically reverts to standby mode. The standby mode is
visualised by the high luminosity “Watch Icon”. As soon as interaction with
the machine resumes, system operation is restored.
Cooking modes
!
To guarantee perfectly soft or crispy food, the oven releases water contained
within the food in the form of steam. This means it is possible to achieve
optimal cooking results for all dishes.
!
Every time the oven is switched on, it suggests the first CREATION cooking
mode.
!
Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the
enamel coating from being damaged.
!
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Do not use position “D” for racks.
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
TEMPERATURE display shows:
- the temperature associated with the mode, if programming manually;
- “Auto”, if programming is automatic.
The TIME display shows:
- the current time, if programming manually;
- the duration, if programming is automatic.
3. Press the
icon to begin cooking.
4. The oven will begin its preheating stage: the preheating light flashes.
5. When the preheating process has finished, a buzzer sounds and the
preheating indicator light shows that this stage has been completed: the food
can then be placed in the oven.
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. In case of a blackout, if the oven was already operating, an automatic
system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from where
it was interrupted as long as the temperature did not drop 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).
!
There is no preheating stage for the BARBECUE mode.
!
The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds from selecting
the desired cycle.
CREATION cooking modes
!
All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be
adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C as desired (300°C for
GRILL mode).
CREATION
cooking modes include all manual programmes.
The oven controls all essential aspects of each of these cooking modes and
makes it easier for you to create the perfect dish, from the simplest recipe to the
most sophisticated culinary delights: the temperature, heat source, humidity
and fan assisted operation are all controlled automatically.
This chapter was written with the help of our very own culinary expert. We
invite you to follow his advice so you can benefit from his experience and
perfect your cooking skills.
The recommended cooking modes, temperatures and oven shelf heights
reflect our expert’s own experience in the kitchen and will help you achieve
the very best results.
The table below specifies whether it is best to
pre-heat
your oven or
not
for
each
CREATION
cooking mode. Observing these suggestions will guarantee
perfect results.
If you wish to place food in a preheated oven, wait for the preheating stage
to be completed (this will be signalled by a series of beeps).
The temperature is set automatically, according to the cooking mode selected;
however, you may adjust it to suit your recipe.
You can also set a cooking duration with an immediate or delayed start.
MULTILEVEL
mode
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant
throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A
maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
LOW TEMPERATURE
modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt,
heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures.
The temperature options are: 40, 65 and 90°C.
FAN GRILLING
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated
and the fan begins to operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating
element is also activated. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating
elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to
penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door
closed.
GRILL
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which
requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed
(see “Practical cooking advice”)
.
FAST COOKING
mode
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly
suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best
results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
PIZZA
mode
The top and circular heating elements switch on and the fan begins to operate.
This combination heats the oven rapidly. If you use more than one rack at a
time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
