• Stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
GB
"0" position.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
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
light is switched on without any of the heating elements
being activated.
Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes
• 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.
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.
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 and cooking temperature sensitive foods
(such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation
of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly
throughout the oven.
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This
mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are
achieved using one cooking rack only.

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.
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
with the knob, the
through the cooking process.
The central part of the top heating element is switched
on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of
energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food
in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly
if it is placed in the corners.
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) 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.
! The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process using the "multi-cooking" mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
