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 desired temperature with the VARIABLE GRILL knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see
Cooking Modes).
3.When preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT
indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4.You may do the following during cooking:
-change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
-change the temperature by turning the VARIABLE GRILL 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.
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol 
the fan and oven light will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen food. Rotating further to the complete range of temperatures shown on the dial you can choose which is most suitable for the food you are going to cook (fan assisted mode). The temperature is reached automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat (from 60°C to 240°C).
Grill 
The top heating element will come on. On this setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the downward direction by the electric heating element.
The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill make it possible to brown meats on the surface while locking in the juices to keep them tender.
!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.
!Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
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 
with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated.
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.
Using the cooking timer
1.To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2.Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3.When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer sounds and the oven turns off.
4.When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used as a normal timer.
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the symbol.

tem to extract the racks
