Start-up and use

Using the oven

! 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.
! Before operating the product, remove all plastic
film from the sides of the appliance.
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the recommended temperature for the
cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning
the THERMOSTAT knob.
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.

Cooking Modes

Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob between 60
On this setting, the top and bottom heating
elements come on. This is the classic, traditional
type of oven which has been perfected, with
exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy
consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled
when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several
ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with
rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when
preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised
meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which
need to cook slowly and require basting or the

addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best
system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking
using covered casserole dishes for oven baking.
When cooking in convection mode, only use one
dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the
heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different
rack heights available, you can balance the amount
of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven.
Select from among the various rack heights based
on whether the dish needs more or less heat from
the top.
Pastry Mode
Position of thermostat kno: Between 60
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods - especially cakes that need to rise because
the heat coming from the bottom helps the leavening
process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of
time for the higher temperatures to be reached,
therefore we recommend you use the "Convection
Mode" in these cases.

cooking.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob: Max
The top central 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: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets,
