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.

! Before operating the product, remove all plastic

film from the sides of the appliance.
