Start-up and use

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. 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.
Setting the clock
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature using the THERMOSTAT
knob. A list detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking
temperatures can be found in the Cooking advice table (see
Cooking modes).
3. The THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven
is heating up to the temperature set.
4. During cooking it is always possible to:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob;
- adjust the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob;
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the "0"
position.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will prevent the enamel coating from 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 blows a stream of air between the control
panel and the oven door, as well as towards the bottom of
the oven door.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
continues to operate until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Oven light
When selecting with the SELECTOR knob the oven light
goes on. It remains lit when a cooking mode is selected.
How to use the timer*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise almost
one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align
the minutes shown on the TIMER knob with the indicator
on the control panel.

Only available in certain models.
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
3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected time
has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.
! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.
Cooking modes
Cooking modes
! A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be set
for all cooking modes except the following:
• BARBECUE (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.
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 unevenly.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch
on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains
constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns
food in a uniform manner. A maximum 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.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element comes 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, as well as the fan, will come on.
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.
