d) If you want to use the electronic timer for

will be shown on the screen.
• Follow the instructions in the section
"Electronic Clock Settings" to programme
the settings you want.
Important information about cooking with recipes
• When you select a recipe and indicate a
weight, the oven automatically calculates
the temperature and cooking time needed,
but these values can be changed. Cooking
time starts from a cold oven unless pre-
heating has been specifically indicated.
• For this reason it is very important to select
the correct food weight, so the recipe can
be properly cooked.
• When cooking with a meat probe, the oven
will determine the cooking temperature
only. The cooking time will depend on the
temperature selected for the probe.
• With roasting programmes, after a certain
time has passed the oven will suggest you
turn the roast over. When it is time to do
this, the oven will emit a brief signal. You
will also see symbol on the screen, until
you have turned the roast over. If you do not
turn it over, the oven will continue cooking
according to the programmed recipe.
• When cooking roast recipes, remember that
meat with a thick outer layer of fat will need
increased cooking time. Cooking time
should also be increased when cooking sev-
eral pieces of meat at the same time.

During cooking the symbol will blink,
indicating that the oven is transmitting heat to
the food.
IMPORTANT
After the thermostat is turned off the first
time, you will hear a sound indicating that pre-
heating has finished.
• For baking or gratins, remember that
recipes are calculated for a weight of 500g
of flour or 1 kg of raw potatoes or vegeta-
bles.
• If you want to cook larger amounts, you will
need to reduce the temperature slightly and
increase cooking time by about 10 minutes
per extra kg.
• If you want to cook smaller amounts, this
should be done with a shorter time and
higher temperature.
ATTENTION
For recipes for white bread, rye bread, fine
base pizza and thick base pizza, the oven
should be pre-heated while empty before
putting the food in. In this way the oven will
be the right temperature for the best results.
For other recipes, pre-heating is not needed.
When cooking with these recipes, you should:
• First select the recipe, and the oven will
begin pre-heating.
• IMPORTANT: Do not put the food into the
oven until the signal.
• During pre-heating, the symbol of the select-
ed recipe and the symbol will blink on
the screen.
• When the temperature set for the recipe is
reached, the oven will emit a signal. You can
now put the food into the oven.
• The signal will continue to sound until you
put the food in.
• Finally, it will cook the food automatically
according to the recipe.
Cooking with the meat probe
The meat probe measures the temperature
inside a roast. When this temperature
reaches a previously set level, the oven will
turn off automatically.
Cooking with the meat probe ensures
optimum results for any type of meat or size
of roast.
Placing the meat probe
• Use only the original meat probe.
• Place the probe before roasting begins.
• Insert the probe into the side of the roast
so that the point reaches its centre.
• Insert the entire probe, up to the handle.
• It is recommended to turn the roast over
half-way through cooking. Bear this in mind
when placing the probe to avoid problems
with it later.
• The point of the probe must not be touching
the bone or fatty areas. Also, it should not
be in a hollow area, which could happen
with poultry.
Using the meat probe
• Put the roast with the probe already in it into
the oven.
• Plug the probe into the socket in the upper
left side of the oven.
• When you turn the probe on, the screen will
display the symbol and the recom-
mended temperature will flash.
• If you want to change the recommended
temperature, touch the + and – symbols.
• Then touch the OK symbol.
• Finally, select a cooking setting or recipe.
• During cooking, the screen will display the
symbol and the temperature currently
measured by the meat probe, alternating
with the selected temperature.
• When the internal temperature of the roast
reaches the temperature you have selected,
the oven will turn off, an alarm signal will
sound for a few seconds and the symbol
will blink.
• Touch symbol to stop the alarm. The
oven will display the current time and the
ON/OFF symbol lit up in white. The oven is
now off.
• The roast is cooked to your taste and ready
to serve.
