DISCOVERING YOUR OVEN!
Your electronic gourmet oven has two modes of programming to facilitate your daily cooking, MANUAL mode, and AUTOMATIC MENUS mode.

• In the manual method, you select the cooking method yourself (5 available methods of cooking), the time, and the cooking temperature.
• In the automatic menus method, you have up to 28 pre-programmed menus*that were developed to help you with elaborate dishes. All you need to do is to indicate the weight or the number of guests, and your Gourmet oven recommends the method, the time, and the cooking temperature. As you require, the cooking time can be adjusted manually.

Your Gourmet oven facilitates your daily life thanks to the comfort features that include:

• Automatic keep warm for 10 hours at the end of cooking
• Delayed cooking program
• Child safety SECU mode
• Independent timer

MANUAL MODE

“Manual” method
Fan/circulating heat: the heat generated is circulated by a fan placed at the back of the oven, which assures an exceptional consistency of cooking in every corner. This cooking method is ideal to cook several dishes at the same time, or a large dish, the circulating air allows the cooking of these dishes in a uniform way.
Natural convection (or traditional oven): heat is generated by the upper and lower oven elements: this traditional way of cooking is used to cook meat, fish, and desserts.
Pastry baking: this particular feature combines fan heat, a fan positioned at the rear of the oven, and a lower element, both providing excellent uniformity of cooking achieving the crispiness of the crust: particularly suited for savory or sweet tarts.
Grill (upper element): heat is generated by the upper element of the oven: it allows for grill / traditional barbecue and baking of your dishes.
Defrosting: this is a special function. The fan is placed at the back of the oven in order to accelerate the time of defrosting of the ingredients that you will place in your oven, without cooking risk. The temperature is pre-set (cannot be adjusted).

Usage of “Manual” method

   To choose the mode of cooking, press the key. Select the mode of cooking by turning the rotating knob (1e).

2. Selection of temperature
   Press key. Set the desired temperature by turning the selector for the desired temperature from 80°C to 240°C.

• Push the grill racks well to the back of the oven and place your dishes in the center of the grill racks.
• Never place the plate directly on an enameled smooth base.

Grill mode

• You have a grill to hold your meat or brown the top of your dish.

• Place your dish or meat on the grill 4cm away from the grill element. No food should be in contact with the element.
• Place the oven tray*with a little water on the lower shelf to collect grease or cooking juice, and close the door.
• For your meat, it is necessary to grill halfway through the cooking (sausages, pork…).
  REMEMBER It is not possible to regulate the temperature in Grill Mode.

Defrosting mode

• To accelerate the natural thawing of your food.
• Place the tray on the lowest shelf. Put the frozen products on a plate. Put the plate on the tray. Close the oven.

AUTOMATIC MENUS MODE

Description of “Automatic MENUS” modes
Your oven has pre-programmed menus: it will automatically determine the mode, time, and temperature based on the weight or number of guests you are having. It also manages the keep warm cycle at the end of cooking or grilling.

Meat / fish: programs 1 to 8
Pre-programmed menus to ensure fast, perfect cooking of meat and fish (rare or well-done beef, roasted veal, pork, lamb, chicken, whole fish,…).
Your oven will determine the mode, temperature, and cooking time depending on the weight of the meat/fish.

Desserts: programs 9-13
Programs tailored to delicate cooking (a portion of soufflé, whole soufflé, fruit, tarts, quiches, crèmes caramel, crèmes brûlées, meringue…) and very fine precision control (from 5 to 10°), as well as an even distribution of temperature.
Your oven will determine the mode, temperature, and cooking time based on the number of guests.

Bread mode (rising / dry heat /baking): 14-16 programs
3 programs cooking:

• Rising: menu created only for lifting the dough.
• Bread: menu combines the different phases of raising the flour, resting, and baking the bread.
• Brioche: menu combining the different phases of raising, resting, and baking the buns.

Your oven will determine the mode, temperature, and cooking depending on the weight of your ingredients.

Slow cooking temperature (between 80 and 120 ° C): 17-22 programs

and juices of meat and retention of flavors. These are long cooking hours – between 2h 30 and4 hours in general and up to 7 hours for the 7 hours lamb program.
Your oven will determine the mode, temperature, and cooking time depending on the weight of the meat/fish.
Although taking a very long time, slow cooking at a low temperature consumes less energy than traditional cooking.

Your oven will determine the mode, temperature, and cooking time depending on the weight of the food. The use of any other type of cooking accessory may mean that you have to adjust the cooking time manually.
Steam cooking: programs 24 to 28
The steaming menus are associated with the use of the 3 in 1 steam dish accessory adapted to traditional steaming recipes(for example fish, thick or fragile vegetables/starches, but also fruit, white meat…).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Instructions

We recommend you to clean the oven each time you use it so that particles of burnt grease are not left inside the oven.
For easier maintenance, your oven has a smooth enamel base that covers the lower element. The wall is covered with non-stick coating, and foldable grill elements.
Your oven door is double layered: it was designed so as not to require special maintenance: it is however possible to dismantle the inner glass for drips between the two panes.
Do not let the grease accumulate in the oven.
Let the oven cool down before doing any maintenance or cleaning.

Press the key for better visibility of the inside of the oven.
Clean the outside of the oven with a simple damped sponge.
Do not use specific metal-based maintenance products for cleaning (copper stainless steel,…).
Clean the door, enameled surfaces, and translucent parts with a damp sponge and a mild detergent.
Do not use abrasive maintenance products (including corrosive-based soda) or scraper sponges or abrasive buffers.

The upper element is foldable but not removable. Never use force to manipulate the elements.
The interior of the oven has an enameled floor and the walls have a non-stick coating that can be cleaned easily with soapy water.
All the accessories can be cleaned with water containing a little detergent.
The grilling racks, the trayand the glass panelcan be washed in the dishwasher.

Maintenance

1. Changing the internal bulb
   To replace the bulb:
   • unplug the oven and allow it to cool down for at least 1 hour,
   • turn the porthole quarter of a circle anti-clockwise,
   • clean the outside surface of the window using warm soapy water.
   Dry it thoroughly,
   • unscrew the bulb and replace (15W – 220/230V 300° C),
   • Replace the window by rotating it through 90° in the clockwise direction.

2. Dismantling the door
   Open the door. Make sure that it is placed on a stable surface: turn your oven by 90°.
   Unscrew the 2 screw fixture at the door support links.
   Remove the two flanges.
   NOTE When handling the window avoid any impact against the glass pane. In the event of a major impact against the glass pane, the glass could break afterward.
   The inner glass must be lifted partly from below for a better grip. Slide the glass towards the back of the oven to release it from the notches which hold it in place.
   Remove the inner glass and clean it using soapy water.
   You then have access to the inner face of the external glass surface.
   Then clean it.
   Replace the inner pane (check that the markings are on the inner surface of the door). Take care to position the glass correctly: the rounded corners should be on the lower side (near the door hinges). Fit the upper corners into the notches (see arrows).
   Replace the mounting flanges. Screw it back loosely.
