 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.

Setting the time*

Press the PROGRAMMER knob and turn it in an

anticlockwise direction to set the correct time.

 The clock can only be set if the oven is connected

to the electricity mains. In case of a power failure,

the PROGRAMMER will stop: the correct time will

need to be reset once the power has returned.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the

SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the desired temperature with the

THERMOSTAT 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

THERMOSTAT 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.

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.

Oven light

It goes on when selecting

with the SELECTOR

knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.

Using the cooking timer*

1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING
TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be
used as a normal timer.

 To use the oven manually, in other words when you

do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the

COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the '

symbol.
