Start-up and use
!
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.
!
Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
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.

indicating that the thermostat is working and is
maintaining the temperature at a constant level.

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 , with the

BAKING BAKING BAKING BAKING BAKING mode
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..

Both the top and bottom heating elements will be
activated. When using this traditional cooking mode, it
is best to use only one rack at a time, otherwise the
heat will not be distributed evenly.
F F F F FAN O AN O AN O AN O AN OVEN VEN VEN VEN VEN mode
The top and bottom heating elements will switch on
and the fan will begin 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.
O O O O OVEN VEN VEN VEN VEN T T T T TOP OP OP OP OP mode
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.
PIZZA mode mode mode mode 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.
