GB Start-up and use

! When inserting the shelf make sure the backstop is at the rear of the cavity (see image).

!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 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.
