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
knob, the light is switched on without any of the
heating elements being activated.

Using the cooking timer*

1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING
TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be
used as a normal timer.
! To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the 9
symbol.

Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 60°C and Max, except for
• 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. 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.

MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular),
as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat
remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks
may be used at the same time.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element comes on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires high surface

with the
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
of the heating elements through forced circulation of
the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food
from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door closed.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as
the fan, will come on. This combination heats the
oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of
heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you
use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the
position of the dishes halfway through the cooking
process.
The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for
baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods
such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare
certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
