￿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.

Starting the oven

1.Switch the control panel on by pressing the Manual background button.

2.Press the button corresponding to the desired cooking mode. The displays show the time and temperature of the selected cooking mode.

3.Press the “START” button to begin cooking.

4.The oven will begin its preheating phase, and the current preheating temperature indicator lights turn red. The temperature may be changed by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons on the right hand side of the control panel.

5.When the preheating stage is complete, a buzzer sounds and all current preheating temperature indicator lights are illuminated: place the food in the oven.

6.During cooking it is always possible to:

-Change the temperature by pressing the “+” and “-” buttons on the right hand side of the control panel.

-Set the cooking duration (see Cooking Modes).

-Press “STOP” to interrupt cooking.

7.The oven switches off automatically after two hours: this default time is set for all cooking modes for safety reasons.

The cooking duration may be changed (see Cooking Modes).

8.If a blackout occurs, while the oven was already operating, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from where it was interrupted as long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed.

￿There is no preheating stage for the BARBECUE mode.

￿Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

￿Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan generates a stream of air which escapes between the oven control panel and the oven door. At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low speed.

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

Oven light

When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time by opening the oven door.
