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.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. 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.
PASTRY Mode
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods - especially cakes that need to rise because the heat coming from the bottom helps the leavening process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time for the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore we recommend you use the “Convection
Mode” in these cases.

MINI GRILL
The top central 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: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph.
MAXI GRILL
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Practical cooking advice
GRILL
•When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in position 4 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
•We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.
!The GRILL cooking mode must be performed with the oven door shut.
Using the grill pan kit
Position the handle on the grill pan so that it fits into the small recess (fig. 1), tilt it upwards and slide it towards the centre (fig. 2).
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan. Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan will make the collection of grease particles more efficient and prevent the formation of smoke.
