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. 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.
Some models are equipped with a system of hinges which allows the door to
close slowly, without the user having to follow the movement through with his/
her hand. To use the system correctly, before closing the door:
• Open the door fully.
• Do not force the closing movement manually.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature using the THERMOSTAT knob. A list
detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found
in the Cooking advice table (see Cooking modes).
3. The THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating up to
the temperature set.
4. During cooking it is always possible to:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob;
- adjust 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 prevent the
enamel coating from being damaged.
!
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan
blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door, as well
as towards the bottom of the oven door.
!
Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate
until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
When selecting with the SELECTOR knob the oven light goes on. It
remains lit when a cooking mode is selected.
