-set the cooking duration in addition to the cooking end time

(see Cooking modes)

-stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the ???0??? position.

5. The oven switches off automatically after two hours: this default period of time is set for all cooking modes for safety reasons.

The cooking duration may be changed (see Cooking modes).

6. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from where it was interrupted as long as the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed.

!There is no preheating stage for the FAST COOKING and BARBECUE modes.

!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, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door. In the FAST COOKING mode, the fan is activated automatically after ten minutes. In the BAKING mode, the cooling fan is only activated when the oven is hot.

! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Oven light

When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time by pressing the button .

Cooking modes

Cooking modes

GB

! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually between 40??C and 250??C as desired.

In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually.

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

When using 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

Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

BARBECUE mode

By turning the THERMOSTAT knob, the different power levels which may be set will appear on the display; these range between 50% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

GRATIN mode

This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

PIZZA OVEN mode

This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BAKING mode

This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of ???bitesize pastries??? on 3 shelves simultaneously.

FAST COOKING mode

Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre- packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.

PROVING mode

The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of 40??C irrespective of the position of the THERMOSTAT knob. This mode is ideal for leavening dough made with yeast.

Programming cooking

??? A cooking mode must be selected before programming can take place.

Programming the cooking duration

1. Press the button several times until the icon and the three digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

2.Turn the TIMER KNOB towards ???+??? and ???-??? to adjust the duration.

3.Press the button again to confirm.

4.When the set time has elapsed, the text END appears on the DISPLAY, the oven will stop cooking and a buzzer sounds.

??? For example: it is 9:00 a.m. and a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is programmed. The programme will stop automatically at 10:15 a.m.

Setting the end time for a cooking mode

??? A cooking duration must be set before the end cooking time can be scheduled.

1.Follow steps 1 to 3 to set the duration as detailed above.

2.Next, press the button until the icon and the two digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

3.Turn the TIMER KNOB towards ???+??? and ???-??? to adjust the hour value.

4.Press the button again until the other two digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.

5.Turn the TIMER KNOB towards ???+??? and ???-??? to adjust the minute value.

6.Press the button again to confirm.

7.When the set time has elapsed, the text END appears on the DISPLAY, the oven will stop cooking and a buzzer sounds.

Programming has been set when the and buttons are illuminated. The DISPLAY shows the cooking end time and the cooking duration alternately.

To cancel programming, turn the SELECTOR knob to the ???0??? position.

Practical cooking advice

GB

!Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan- assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

!In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

???Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.

???Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

BARBECUE

???Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the centre of the rack.

???We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA OVEN

???Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time.

???If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
