INSERTING THE WIRE SHELF AND OTHER
ACCESSORIES
Insert the wire shelf horizontally by sliding it across the shelf guides,
making sure that the side with the
raised edge is facing upwards.
Other accessories, such as the drip tray and the baking tray, are inserted
horizontally in the same way as the wire shelf.
FITTING THE SLIDING RUNNERS (IF PRESENT)
Remove the shelf guides from the oven and remove the protective plastic from
the sliding runners.
Fasten the upper clip of the runner to the shelf guide and slide it along as
far as it will go. Lower the other clip
into position.
To secure the guide, press the lower portion of the clip firmly against the
shelf guide. Make sure that the runners can move freely. Repeat these steps on
the other shelf guide on the same level.
Please note: The sliding runners can be fitted on any level.
FUNCTIONS
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages,
cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling meat, we
recommend using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: Position the tray
on any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.
FORCED AIR
For cooking different foods that require the same cooking temperature on
several shelves (maximum three) at the same time. This function can be used to
cook different foods without odours being transferred from one food to
another.
CONVECTION BAKE
For cooking meat, baking cakes with fillings or roasting stuffed vegetables on
one shelf only. This function uses gentle, intermittent air circulation to
prevent food from drying out excessively.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
CASSEROLE
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for pasta dishes.
MEAT
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for meat. This function intermittently activates the fan at low speed to
prevent the food from drying out too much.
MAXI COOKING
The function automatically selects the best cooking mode and temperature to
cook large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). It is advisable to turn the meat
over during cooking, to obtain even browning on both sides. It is best to
baste the meat every now and again to prevent it from drying out.
BREAD
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for all types of bread.
PIZZA
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for all types of pizza.
PASTRY CAKES
This function automatically selects the best temperature and cooking method
for all types of cake.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
FAST PREHEATING
For preheating the oven quickly. Once preheating has finished, the oven will
select the “Conventional” function automatically. Wait for preheating to
finish before placing food in the oven.
TURBO GRILL
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef, chicken). We recommend
using a drip tray to collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on any of
the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water. The turnspit
(if provided) can be used with this function.
**ECO FORCED AIR***
For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets of meat on a single shelf.
Food is prevented from drying out excessively by gentle, intermittent air
circulation. When this ECO function is in use, the light will remain switched
off during cooking. To use the ECO cycle and therefore optimise power
consumption, the oven door should not be opened until the food is completely
cooked.
KEEP WARM
For keeping just-cooked food hot and crisp.
RISING
For optimal proving of sweet or savoury dough. To maintain the quality of
proving, do not activate the function if the oven is still hot following a
cooking cycle.
USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
SET THE TIME
You will need to set the time when you switch on the oven for the first time.
The two digits for the hour will start flashing: Turn the knob to set the hour and press to confirm.
The two digits for the minutes will start flashing. Turn the knob to set the
minutes and press to confirm.
Please note: To change the time at a later point, press and hold for at least
one second while the oven is off and
repeat the steps above.
You may need to set the time again following lengthy power outages.
HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing:
this is completely normal.
Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it
empty in order to remove any possible odours.
Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove
any accessories from inside
it.
Heat the oven to 200 °C for around one hour, ideally using a function with air
circulation (e.g. “Forced Air”
or “Convection Bake”).
Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly.
Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the
first time.
