Start-up and use

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 pull (2).

! The rst time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door

closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Make sure 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.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the desired temperature with SELECTOR knob. See the Cooking

advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking temperatures

(see Cooking Modes)

3. When preheating is nished, the THERMOSTAT indicator light will stay

on: place the food in the oven.

4. During cooking you may do the following:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob to the grill icon.

Then select the power of the grill with the grill knob.

- change the temperature by turning the SELECTOR knob.

- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

! While using the conventional cooking mode the VARIABLE GRILL knob

must be set to “MAX”.

! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to avoid damaging the enamel

coating.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models

are tted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and

the oven door.

! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling fan remains on until the

oven has cooled down sufciently.

Oven light

It goes on when selecting

with the SELECTOR knob. It stays on when

a cooking mode is selected.

Modes

! GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);

Thermostatically controlled oven (Fan Assisted Mode)

When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise direction to the symbol

the fan and oven light will come on to assist in the defrosting of frozen

food. Rotating further to the complete range of temperatures shown on the

dial you can choose which is most suitable for the food you are going to

cook. The temperature is reached automatically and controlled by the oven

thermostat (from 60°C to MAX).

! While using the conventional cooking mode the VARIABLE GRILL knob

must be set to “MAX”.

GRILL mode

The top 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: such as beef steaks,

veal, rib steak, lets, hamburgers etc... Some grilling examples are included

in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with

the oven door closed.

To operate the grill:

1. Turn the oven SELECTOR knob clockwise until the required grilling symbol

is in line with the mark on the control panel. The element is now “on”.

2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated to select the required

heat.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted cooking. Excessive

direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

! In the GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect

cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

GRILL

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating

element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.

PIZZA

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming

by extending 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.
