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.

!Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.

!Always place cookware on the racks provided.

!During operation, we recommend the removal of any crockery or delicate foodstuffs from the cavities not being used.

!We recommend that you do not open the door when cooking foodstuffs which require proving, so as to not compromise cooking results.

!Once the cooking programme has begun, before the DIVIDER

is removed, the oven must be switched off using the button.

!In order to optimise the cooking performance, when starting the selected function, product settings will be applied that could cause a delayed start of the fan and heating elements.

Cooling ventilation

In order to reduce the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan generates a stream of air which escapes underneath the oven control panel.

!Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Setting the clock

!This may only be set while the oven is switched off.

1.Press thebutton until the first numerical digit flashes on

the DISPLAY and the , and icons are switched off.

2.Turn the SET TIME KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust the hour value.

3.Press thebutton again so that the other two numerical digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

4.Turn the SET TIME KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust the minute value.

5.Press thebutton again to confirm.

Setting the minute minder

!This function does not interrupt cooking and does not affect the oven; it is simply used to activate the buzzer when the set amount of time has elapsed.

1. Press thebutton until the icon and the three digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

2. Turn the SET TIME KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust

the minute value.

3.Press thebutton again to confirm.

The display will then show the time as it counts down. When this period of time has elapsed the buzzer will be activated.

ExtraLarge Space

!Do not use position “D” for racks.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking function by turning the

EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob. If the icon on the display is lit, this indicates that the ExtraLarge Space has been selected and therefore that only the settings corresponding to the ExtraLarge Space may be used.

2.The oven will begin its preheating stage. The temperature may be changed by turning the TEMPERATURE knob. The

indicator light flashes during the preheating stage.

3.Once the preheating stage is completed, the icon stops flashing (becomes fixed) and a buzzer sounds. Food may now be placed in the oven.

4.During cooking it is always possible to:

-change the cooking function by turning the EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob;

-adjust the temperature using the TEMPERATURE knob (for the Creation cooking functions only);

-set a duration (for Creation cooking functions only) and the cooking end time;

-stop cooking by turning the EXTRALARGE SPACE FUNCTION knob to the “0” position.

5. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking function from the point at which it was interrupted, as long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. The clock and programmed cooking modes which have not yet started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed.

!When using the oven in its ExtraLarge configuration, it will not be possible to use the Main and Small Space features: the SMALL SPACE and MAIN SPACE FUNCTION knobs will be disabled.

!The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds from selecting the desired cycle.

Universal cooking functions

!All functions have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 40°C and 250°C as desired.

For the BARBECUE function, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually.

MULTILEVEL function

All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of four racks may be used at the same time. If you are using several racks at the same time, we recommend you place the dripping pan on the lower rack. If you are cooking on 4 levels at the same
