Start-up and use

WARNING! The oven is provided 

with a stop system to extract the 

racks and prevent them from 

coming out of the oven (1).

As shown in the drawing, to extract 

them completely, simply lift the 

racks, holding them on the front 

part, and pull (2).

!

 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.

Starting the oven

1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2. Select the desired temperature with the THERMOSTAT knob. See 

the Cooking advice table for cooking modes and the suggested cooking 

temperatures (see Cooking Modes).

3. When lit, the THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating 

up to the temperature set.

4. You may do the following during cooking:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

- change the temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.

- 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.

!

 Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, some models 

are fitted with a cooling fan that blows out air between the control panel and 

the oven door.

!

 Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate 

until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Oven light

It goes on when selecting   with the SELECTOR knob. It stays on when a 

cooking mode is selected.

 All settings can only be entered if the oven is connected to the mains 

electricity. In case of blackouts lasting over 10 seconds, the programmer 

stops: when current is restored, the CLOCK icon flashes to indicate that a 

blackout has occurred and that the time must be set again. 

Setting the time

To adjust the time indicated by the hands, briefly press the TIME SETTING 

knob until the CLOCK icon starts flashing.

Then, to increase or decrease the displayed time setting in 1-minute steps, 

turn the knob clockwise or anti-clockwise; the minutes hand moves clockwise 

or anticlockwise accordingly, in 1-minute steps.

Once 10 seconds have elapsed since the most recent adjustment, the 

programmer automatically exits the adjustment mode.

Setting the minute minder

!

 This function does not interrupt cooking nor does it affect the oven’s operation; 

it is simply used to activate the buzzer when the set duration has elapsed.

To activate the minute minder, briefly press the TIME SETTING knob until the 

MINUTE MINDER icon starts flashing.

To increase or decrease the set duration, turn the TIME SETTING knob 

clockwise or anti-clockwise; the minutes hand will move in 1-minute steps.

The MINUTE MINDER icon flashes continuously for 10 seconds after the most 

recent rotation. The setting can be confirmed by pressing the TIME SETTING 

knob or letting 10 seconds elapse, provided that a cooking time of at least 1 

minute has been programmed.

The switched-on MINUTE MINDER icon indicates that the duration has been 

set; the countdown will start immediately.

Select the desired cooking mode using the PROGRAMMES knob.

To view the set duration, briefly press and release the TIME SETTING knob; 

the hands and icons will display the remaining minutes.

At the end of the set time, the MINUTE MINDER icon flashes and the buzzer 

sounds for 1 minute (to silence it, briefly press the knob).

Turn the PROGRAMMES knob to position “0”.

!

 To cancel the setting, press the TIME SETTING knob for 3 seconds: the 

programming will be cancelled and the MINUTE MINDER icon will switch off.

Cooking modes

!

 A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and 

Max, except for

•  GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);

•  GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

TRADITIONAL OVEN 

mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. With this traditional 

cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only; if more than one rack 

is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.

MULTI-COOKING 

mode

All the heating elements (top and bottom), as well as the fan, will come on. 

Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and 

browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

TOP OVEN

 mode

The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used to brown food 

at the end of cooking.

GRILL

 mode

The top 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: such as beef steaks,
