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.
Starting the oven
1.Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2.Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see Cooking Modes).
3.When lit, theTHERMOSTATindicator light indicates that the oven is heating up to the temperature set.
4.You may do the following during cooking:
-change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
-change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT 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.
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.

Modes
!In order to guarantee wonderfully soft and crunchy foodstuffs, the oven releases – in the form of water vapour - the humidity naturally withheld in the food itself. In this way, optimal cooking results can be achieved for all types of food.
!A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for
•GRILL (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.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top and bottom), as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly.Amaximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
PIZZA OVEN mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL mode
The top heating element come on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3 shelves simultaneously.
