PIZZA MODE
•Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time.
•If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
Cooking modes for Conventional main oven (2nd oven)
!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.
!A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 50°C and Max, except for the following modes
•
Starting the oven
1.Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.
2.Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
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 | GB |

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 heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
MAXI 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.
