GB 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.

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 lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating up to the temperature set.

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.

How to use the timer*

1.To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise almost one complete revolution.

3.The timer operates in minutes: when the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.

Modes

!A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for

•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 come on. With 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 unevenly.

MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top and bottom), as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

TOP OVEN mode

The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.

GRILL mode

The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
