How To Use Your Appliance
The various cooking fetures offered by your oven can be
selectedusingthe "B"settingknoband variablegrill knob
(C) located on the control panel.
Attention: Thefirsttime youuse theovenwerecommend
thatyousetthethermostatonthehightestsettingandleave
the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it.
Then, open the oven door and let the room air.The odour
that is often detected during this initial use is due to the
evaporationofsubstances used toprotectthe ovenduring
storage and until it is installed.
N.B.:Should theappliancebe equippedwithan electronic
programmer, to use the electric oven, just press button
(the symbol will appear on the display) before
selecting the desired cooking function.
Using the oven
When the oven control knob (B) is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol the fan and oven light will
comeonto assist inthedefrosting offrozenfood.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.The temperature is reached
automaticallyandcontrolled bytheoven thermostat (from
50°C to 240°C).
Note:Whilstusingtag ovenfor conventional cookingknob
(C) must be set with“MAX”inlinewiththe referencemark
on the control panel.
Grill
The top centre heating element will come on and the
rotisserie motor (if present) will be activated. On this
setting, food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off
inthedownwarddirectionbytheelectricheatingelement.
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.
Double Grill
Bothofthe topheatingelements turnonand therotisserie
motor (if present) is activated.
This over-sized grill has a completely new design, which
is the reason why cooking efficiency has increased by
50%. In addition, the double grill eliminates heat gaps in
the corners of the oven.

Practical Cooking Advice
When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan should be
used at a time. The rack or pan should be inserted into
the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food
needs more heat from the top or bottom.
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required
for leavened foods), we recommend using the
"conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to
reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After
the oven has been preheated, the red indicator light (E)
will turn off.At this point, you can select the most suitable
setting to cook the dish.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from
drying out.When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use
low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat
that should be well done on the outside while tender and
juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high
temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then
turn the oven down afterwards.In general, the larger the
roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat
on the centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it
to catch the fat.
Makesure thattherack isinserted sothat itisin thecentre
of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of
heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory
roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat
with lard or bacon on the top.
Cooking Pastries
Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not
openthedoor inorderto preventthepastryfromdropping.
The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the
cooking time is not excessive.In general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the
cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and
increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the
cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour.
Beforecleaningyouroven,or performingmaintenance,
disconnect it from the power supply.
To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned
frequently, keeping in mind that:
• Theself-cleaningpanels (ifpresent)and theenameled
parts should be washed with warm water - abrasive
powdersand corrosivesubstances should beavoided;
• The inside of the oven should be cleaned immediately
after use with warm water and soap; the soap should
be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly;
• Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact
with agressive detergents (containing phosphorus) or
water with a high lime content. We recommend that
you rinse these parts thoroughly and dry them well
after cleaning. It is also a good idea to dry any water
spills;
• Never line the bottom of the oven with aluminium foil
because the buildup of heat will not only impede the
cooking process, but could also damage the enamel.
How to KeepYour Oven in Shape
Replacing the Lamp in the Oven
• Cutoff the supply of power to the oven by turning off
the omni-polar switch connecting it to the mains, or by
removing the plug if it is accessible;
• Unscrew the glass cover attached to the lamp holder;
• Unscrew the lamp and replace it with another high-
temperature lamp (300°C) with the following
characteristics:
-Voltage:230/240V
- Wattage: 25W
- Socket:E14
• Remount the glass cover and reconnect the appliance
to the power supply.

Using the Grill
Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating
element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The
centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected
byturningtheovencontrol knob(B)in aclockwisedirection
to align the symbols ( for the centre, for the com-
pletearea)with themarkon thecontrolpanel.Thevariable
temperature control (C) is positioned to right of the oven
knob. This knob will provide varying grill temperatures
when rotated from“max”to“min” and may be adjusted to
vary the level of heat at any time during the grilling
operation.
To operate the grill
1. Turn the oven control knob (B) clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on the
control panel.The element is now“on”.
2. The variable grill control (C) can now be operated to
select the required heat.
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower levels
(see cooking table).To catch grease or fat and prevent
smoke, place a drip pan at the bottom rack level.
Grilling must be done with the door partially open to
avoid increasing the grilling time.
