In order to take advantage of the quantity of heat
already trapped in the oven, and to save
electricity :
➡Start a pyrolysis cleaning session after cooking
or
➡Carry out cooking at the end of a pyrolysis
cleaning session.
The programmer should display the time of day (❶).
To carry out a pyrolysis cleaning session, the
programmer should display only the time and this
should not be flashing. You simply need to
position your cooking selector in the
“pyrolysis” position (❷).
The oven will be unavailable for 2 hours and 30
minutes, (this length of time cannot be modified).
This period takes account of the time required for
the oven to cool before the door unlocks.
■During the pyrolysis cleaning cycle, the
cleaning indicator lights up to tell you that the
door is locked.
➡Turn the cooking selector to the OFF
position(❸).
Your oven is now clean and ready to use again to
cook the dishes of your choice.

●Carrying out an immediate pyrolysis cleaning session
- The door is only locked a few minutes af-
ter the cycle starts.
- The thermostat indicator lights up when
the oven is heating.
- The pyrolysis process stops automatically.
When the oven has cooled to approximately
275°C, the cleaning indicator goes out and it is
then possible to open the door.

➡Follow the instructions described in the
paragraph entitled “CARRYING OUT AN IMMEDIATE
PYROLYSIS CLEANING SESSION”, then :
➡Press on the ^button (❶), and
➡Adjust the duration (❷) (+or -"cooking time"
button) to 2 h 30 mins.
➡Press a second time on the “MODE” button (❸),
and
➡Set the desired end time (❹) (+or - “cooking

●Example : 13.00
In this example, 13.00 (1 pm) is the chosen end
time for the pyrolysis cycle.
The countdown of the duration begins immediately
after you release the +and -buttons.
Following this, the pyrolysis cycle will stop
depending on the programmed cooking time.
- the oven stops heating,
- the end of cooking symbol is off,
- the cooking time display is at 0:00,
- a series of pips are heard for a few minutes.
The pips can be stopped by pressing on any key
and the clock will reappear. CAUTION : AT THIS

TRADITIONAL CONVECTION
•
The top and bottom elements perform cooking to which the air
propeller is added to guarantee even cooking;
•
Fast rise in temperature : food preparations can be placed directly in the cold oven.
•
Temperatures recommended are lower than in cooking modes not using the propeller.
•
Less fat burnt. Less spattering, less risks of smoking.
•
Limites the loss in weight of the food. Fragile vegetables (stuffed tomatoes) will not
be squashed, or burst, potatoes au gratin will be soft and browned.
•
Controls adapted to cooking identical or different dishes on two levels at the same
temperature. The flavours of both will be kept apart.
GRILL CONVECTION + ROTARY SPIT
•
The top element performs cooking to which the air propeller is added to guarantee
an even distribution of colour.
•
You can use it cook all types of poultry using the spit, which comprises a bar fitted
with two spikes to hold the roast joint in place. This must be centred correctly.
•
Check that the spit is fitted correctly, lined up with the motor, and resting correctly
on its cradle.
•
Place the dripping pan on the first shelf setting or on the floor of the oven if the item
to be roasted is large.
FLOOR CONVECTION
•
Cooking is performed from underneath, the air propeller is added to guarantee
even cooking, colouring and browning of the dish.
•
Cooking mode recommended for pizzas3, quiches, juicy fruit tarts, milk bread,
cakes... Wet cake mixes will be perfectly cooked underneath. Doughs (milk loaf...),
risen cake mixes (cakes...), soufflés will not be prevented from rising by the formation
of a crust.

Oven cook settings
DEFROSTING
•
Food can be defrosted with a limited amount of heat, the propeller accelerates the
exchanges of heat.
•
This mode is particularly adapted to delicate food to be eaten raw (strawberries,
raspberries...).
•
The defrosting temperature can be increased to defrost food to be cooked following
the defrosting (meat...). Proceed with care to avoid cooking the surface of the meat.
Place the cuts on the rack on the 2nd runner, and the multi-purpose dripping-pan on
the 1st runner so that they are not in contact with the juices from defrosting.
* TRADITIONAL
•
Top and bottom elements perform cooking without air convection.
•
Baked eg custard, flans, caramel creams can be cooked to perfection in the
dripping-pan used as a bain -marie, without forgetting burnt caramel creams stood a
few minutes under the grill after sprinkling with sugar.
•
After preheating cook roasts, vegetable dishes such as browned potaotes, baked
stuffed tomates, fish poultry and tarts.
GRILL (high-power)
•
Mode adapted to grilling :
• Preheat for 5 min.with the rack in the oven then place the food on it and place on a
suitable runner (depending on size).
• Place the dripping-pan on the 1st runner.
For a glass of water into it ; this tip has the advantage of reducing smoke and smells
particularly when grilling meat, sausages…
•
Ideal for making toast.
ACCESSORIES : your appliance is fitted with a multipurpose dripping pan, two hollow
dishes, a tip-proof shelf, an arched shelf, a removal system and a spit.
* Sequence(s) used for the statement featured on the energy label, in conformity with
European standard EN 50304 and European directive 2002/40/CE.

*Pre-heat to the temperature shown. •Do not cook meat in the dripping pan: risk of spatter. •When using a double boiler pan, you should always begin with boiling water: do not overfill the dish. •When using the GRILL function, place the item to be grilled on the grill or the rotary spit, with the dripping pan on the level below to catch the juices.
•RS = Rotary spit
Your cooker is equipped with five levels.
For the grill function (depending on the model), using the rotary spit do not exceed 220°C (temperature recommended in this guide) and grill

Roasting joints
•Allow all joints to sit at room
temperature for at least 1 hour before
roasting. Remove any excess fat to
prevent smoke and smells.
•Wherever possible use earthenware
rather than glass dishes (less spitting)
big enough to contain the joint easily.
•Do not sprinkle with salt before
cooking as this dries the meat out.
•Add a few tbsp of warm water to the
roasting dish to prevent the juices
burning.
•Cooking time
- Roast beef 10 to 15 min for 500 g.
- Roast pork 35 to 40 min for 500 g.
- Roast Veal 30 to 40 min for 500 g.
•After removing from the oven, wrap
the joint in kitchen foil and leave to
recover for 10 to 15 mins. The meat
will be more succulent and tender, and
more uniform in colour.
•Grilling meat: Drizzle with a thin
layer of oil. Avoid pricking red meat
and use a spatula or tongs to turn
over.
•Prick poultry skin under the wings so
the juices can run out without spitting.
Baking cakes
•Choosing your cake tin:
Avoid bright shiny tins:
- They require longer cooking times.
- The oven has to be pre-heated.
Use non-stick tins for flans, pies
and quiches. These give crisper
golden pastry on the base.
•Tip:
Even if your tins are non-stick, use
baking parchment to protect them.
It makes it easier to turn flans etc.
out. Use it too to line enamelled tins
to protect the coating from fruit acids.
Always add yeast last and avoid
contact with salt, which will destroy
the yeast's properties.
When you use the fan feature we
recommend that you reduce cooking
temperatures by 30-50ºC compared
with a conventional oven and extend
the cooking time by 5 to 10 minutes.
Cooking vegetables
•When preparing a dish topped with
layered potatoes, pre- cook the sliced
potatoes in water or milk.
•To peel peppers, place them under
a hot grill turning frequently until the
skin bubbles. Pop into a plastic bag
for a few minutes and the skin will
peel away easily.
•When stuffing tomatoes, slice off
one end and scoop out the pulp and
pips. Salt the inside and leave to drain
on a grid before stuffing.
•Drain cooked leeks and chicory
thoroughly before coating with a
sauce (ham or béchamel) otherwise
the cooking liquid will water down the
sauce.
•Mix grated cheese with
breadcrumbs for a topping that is
brown and crispy.
Using the oven
•When cooking times are long, turn the oven off 5 to 10 minutes
before the end and use the residual heat to finish the dish.
Cooking on 2 levels with
PRE-HEAT THE OVEN BEFORE COOKING THE DISH
•Several dishes (similar or different) can be cooked at the same time without any contamination of
smell or taste, provided they require the same temperature. The dishes cooked can require different
lengths of cooking. The cooking times shown in the table for each dish should be extended by 10 to 20
minutes.
