Start-up and use
!
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.
!
Before operating the product, remove all plastic film
from the sides of the appliance.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning
the THERMOSTAT knob.
A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking
temperatures can be found in the relevant table (
see
Oven cooking advice table
).
During cooking it is always possible to:
• Change the cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
• Change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
• Set the total cooking time and the cooking end time
(
see below
).
• 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. Only use position 1 in the oven when
cooking with the rotisserie spit.
!
Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches
the selected temperature. At this point the light
illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating
that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the
temperature at a constant level.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to
any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the
oven is operating. By selecting
8
with the knob, the
light is switched on without any of the heating elements
being activated.
Cooking modes
!
A temperature value between 50°C and MAX can be
set for all cooking modes except the following:
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN
mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will be
activated. When using this traditional cooking mode, it
is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one
rack is used, the heat will be distributed in an uneven
manner.
OVEN BAKING
mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched
on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a
delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire
oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking
temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need
to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
MULTILEVEL
mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular),
as well as the fan, will be 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.
PIZZA OVEN
mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at
the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is
activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by
producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly
from the element at the bottom. If you use more than
one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes
halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL
mode
The central part of the top heating element and the
rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. The high
and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for
food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and
beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking
mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for
grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the
rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in
the corners.
