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.

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

2. Select the desired temperature using the THERMOSTAT knob. A list 

detailing cooking modes and suggested cooking temperatures can be found 

in the Cooking advice table (see Cooking modes).

3. The THERMOSTAT indicator light indicates that the oven is heating up to 

the temperature set.

4. During cooking it is always possible to:

- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob;

- adjust 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 prevent the 

enamel coating from being damaged.

! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

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, as well 

as towards the bottom of the oven door.

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

until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Oven light
When selecting 

 with the SELECTOR knob the oven light goes on. It 

remains lit when a cooking mode is selected.

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

modes except the following:

•  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. 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.

 

MULTILEVEL mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan 

begins to operate. 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.

 

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, 

veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... 

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” 

paragraph. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

 

GRATIN mode

The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on.   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.
