Start-up and use
! 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 produce a slightly
unpleasant odour caused by the burning away of
protective substances used during the manufacturing
process.
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 oven bottom to
avoid damaging the enamel coating.
! 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 the cooking has been completed, the cooling
fan remains on until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting
knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.

Using the cooking timer*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time:
align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob
with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used
as a normal timer.

do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the  symbol.
Clock with Country Style timer *
How to reset the correct time
The oven must be plugged in.
Pull the knob and turn it anticlockwise until you set the
correct time.
! ! ! ! ! The programmer is electrically powered, therefore in
the event of a power shortage, it will stop working for
the entire duration of the same. Following this power
failure, the correct time will have to be reset.
Timer Feature
The timer feature allows you to enter a given amount of
time from which the timer begins to count down. This
feature does not turn the oven on or off; it merely
sounds when the time has elapsed.
How to set the timer
Turn the knob anticlockwise until the marker lines up
with the desired time (internal scale), which can be
seen in the "window".
The time countdown will begin immediately.
To interrupt the timer buzzer, or to use only the clock
feature, set the marker to the  symbol.
