Start-up and use
GB | ! 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 avoid the enamel coating 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 can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for
•BARBECUE (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, bottom and circular), 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.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element comes on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
PIZZA mode
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
