S tart - up and use

 The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty

oven with its door closed at its ma

x

imum 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.

 Should the appliance be equipped with an electronic

programmer, to use the electric oven, just press the

 and 

 buttons at the same time (the symbol 

will appear on the display) before selecting the

desired cooking function.

B

efore operating the product, remove all plastic film

from the sides of the appliance.

 mode

oth the top and bottom heating elements will be

W

hen 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.

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.

F

A

ST

COOK

I

N

G

 mode

The heating elements and the fan are activated,

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.

M

U

L

TI

L

E

V

E

L

 mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as

well as the fan, will be activated. Since the heat

remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks

and browns food in a uniform manner. A ma

x

imum of

two racks may be used at the same time.

P

I

ZZ

A

O

V

E

N

 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.

GRI

LL

 mode

The central part of the top heating element and the

rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. 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.

GR

A

TI

N

mode

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 GRATI

N

 cooking modes must be

performed with the oven door shut.

Spit

roast

 (only available in certain models)

To operate the spit roast

function (

see diagram

)

proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2. Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and insert

the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of

the oven.

3. Start the rotisserie using the knob to select MO

E

 or

hen the 

 mode is activated, the spit will stop if

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