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. Make
sure 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.
! To make the setting process easier, press and hold the “ ” and “ ” buttons
to scroll through the numbers on the display rapidly.
! Each setting will automatically be stored in the appliance memory after 10
seconds.
! The touch controls cannot be activated if the user is wearing gloves.
! In order to optimise the cooking performance, when starting the selected
function, product settings will be applied that could cause a delayed start of
the fan and heating elements.
Some models are equipped with a system of hinges which allows the door to
close slowly, without the user having to follow the movement through with his/
her hand. To use the system correctly, before closing the door:
• Open the door fully.
• Do not force the closing movement manually.
Control panel lock
! The control panel can be locked while the oven is off, once cooking has
started or nished and during programming.
To lock the oven controls, press and hold the button for at least 2
seconds. A buzzer will sound and the TEMPERATURE display shows the
key symbol “O—n”. The icon will light up to indicate lock activation.
To deactivate the lock, press and hold the button again for at least 2
seconds.
Setting the clock
! The clock can only be set when the oven is switched off. If the oven is in
standby mode, pressing the button once will display the current time
setting. Press it again to set the time.
After connection to the power supply network or after
a blackout, the button and the digits on the TIME display will ash for
10 seconds.
To set the clock:
1. Press the button.
2. Adjust the hour gure using the “ ” and “ ” buttons.
3. Once you have reached the correct hour value, press the button.
4. Repeat the above process to set the minutes.
If a blackout occurs, it will be necessary to reset the clock. If the icon
ashes on the display, this indicates that the clock has not been set correctly.
Setting the minute minder
! The minute minder may be set regardless of whether the oven is switched
on or off. It does not switch the oven on or off.
When the set time has elapsed, the timer emits a buzzer that will automatically
stop after 30 seconds or when any active button on the control panel is
pressed.
To adjust the timer proceed as follows:
1. Press button .
2. Set the desired time using buttons “ ” and “ ”.
3. Once you have reached the desired value, press the button again.
The lit symbol will remind you that the minute minder is on.
To cancel the minute minder, press the button and use the “ ” and “
” buttons to set the time to 00:00. Press button again.
The icon will switch off to indicate that the minute minder has been
disabled.
Starting the oven
1. Switch the control panel on by pressing the button. The appliance
buzzer sounds three times (ascending) and all buttons light up in sequence.
2. Press the button corresponding to the desired cooking mode. The
TEMPERATURE display shows:
- the temperature associated with the mode, if programming manually;
- “Auto”, if programming is automatic.
The TIME display shows:
- the current time, if programming manually;
- the duration, if programming is automatic.
3. Press the button to begin cooking.
4. The oven will begin its preheating phase, the preheating indicators will light
up as the temperature rises.
5. When the preheating process has nished, a buzzer sounds and all the
preheating indicator lights show that this stage has been completed: the food
can then be placed in the oven.
6. During cooking it is always possible to:
- change the temperature by pressing the button, followed by the “ ”
and “ ” buttons (manual modes only);
- set the duration of a cooking mode (see Cooking Modes);
- press the button to stop cooking. In this case the appliance stores the
temperature modied previously in its memory (manual modes only);
- switch off the oven by pressing the button for 3 seconds.
7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic
system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at
which it was interrupted, provided that the temperature has not dropped below
a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not yet started will
not be restored and must be reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode
has been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a blackout occurs. When the
power supply is restored, the mode will have to be reprogrammed).
! There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the
enamel coating from being damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
