Start-up and use
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
GB
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 desired temperature with the VARIABLE
GRILL knob. See the Cooking advice table for cooking
modes and the suggested cooking temperatures (see
Cooking Modes).
3. When preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT
indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR
knob.
- change the temperature by turning the VARIABLE
GRILL knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
"0" position.
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to
avoid damaging the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol
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
(fan assisted mode). The temperature is reached
automatically and controlled by the oven thermostat
(from 60°C to 240°C).
Grill
The top heating element will come on. On this setting,
food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the
downward direction by the electric heating element.
The very high temperature and direct heat of the grill
make it possible to brown meats on the surface while
locking in the juices to keep them tender.
! 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.

Cooling ventilation*
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, some models are fitted 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
sufficiently.
