Cooking

Presentation

For each dish you cook, the oven only manages the essential parameters for the success of all recipes, from the

simplest to the most sophisticated culinary delights: i.e. the temperature, heat source, degree of humidity and fan

assisted operation are all controlled automatically.

This chapter was written with the precious help of our very own culinary expert. We invite you to follow his

advice to benefit from his experience and for successful cooking, always.

The recommended cooking modes, temperatures and oven rack heights reflect our expert's own experience

in the kitchen and will allow you to achieve the very best results.

For each cooking mode, the table below specifies whether it is best to preheat your oven or not. Please observe

these suggestions, as they will guarantee you perfect results.

During the pre-heating stage, indicator light flashes. When the desired cooking temperature has been reached,

will remain on without flashing.

The temperature is recommended according to the type of cooking selected; however, you may adjust it to suit your

recipe (see on the next page).

You can also set a cooking time with an immediate or delayed start (see on the next page).

Notes on defrosting

The displaying of the word "end", accompanied by a sequence of acoustic signals, indicates that the programmed

cooking time is up and the cooking is stopped.

• Press knob A to silence the acoustic signals.

• Turn knob B back to position 0 to remove the word "end" from the display.

Programming a cooking time with an immediate start

A cooking time can be set so that the oven starts immediately and is automatically turned off when the set amount

of time is up.

Select a cooking mode, if necessary adjust the temperature, and make the following adjustments:

1. Turn knob A to light symbol ;

2. press knob A to access the adjustment of the cooking time: 2:00 flashes on the display;

3. turn knob A to display the desired cooking time (a minimum of 2 minutes - a maximum of 9h59);

4. press knob A to confirm the programming. The programmed cooking time will be displayed alternately with

the desired temperature.

(1)

For safety reasons, a cooking time of 2 hours is set for each cooking mode by default. Should this time fail to

be adjusted, the oven will be automatically turned off once this time is up.

For example

It is 9:00 a.m. and a cooking time of 1 hour and 15 minutes is programmed. Cooking will stop automatically at 10:15

a.m..

- 8 -

Programming

Programming a cooking time with a delayed start

The oven can be programmed so that the dish is ready at a given time: the programmer automatically determines

the cooking start time and the oven is automatically turned off at the desired time.

For example

It is 9:00 a.m. and you want the dish to be ready at 12:30 knowing that cooking should last 1 hour and 15 minutes:

then the cooking time and end cooking time are set. The oven will automatically calculate that cooking should start

at 11:15 a.m. for cooking to end at 12:30 p.m..

Step 1

Place the dish in the oven, adjust the temperature if necessary and set a cooking time, as follows:

1. Turn knob A to light symbol ;

2. press knob A to access the adjustment of the cooking time: 2:00 flashes on the display;

3. turn knob A to set the desired cooking time (a minimum of 2 minutes - a maximum of 9h59);

4. press knob A to confirm the programming.

Step 2

Set the desired end cooking time:

1. Turn knob A to light symbol

STOP

(the display indicates 10h15, i.e. the end cooking time, if the cooking starts

immediately);

2. press knob A to access the adjustment of the desired end cooking time;

3. turn knob A to set the end cooking time.

4. press knob A to confirm the programming. The end cooking time will be displayed alternately with the desired

temperature.

Cooking will start at 11:15 a.m. and will stop at 12:30 p.m..

2.

The displaying of the word "end", accompanied by a sequence of acoustic signals, indicates that the programmed

cooking time is up and the cooking is stopped.

• Press knob A to silence the acoustic signals.

• Turn knob B back to position 0 to remove the word "end" from the display.

The accessories

Your oven is fitted with 5 different oven rack heights (from 1 to 5, from the bottom up) depending on the dish and

cooking mode selected.

For perfect results every time, the display indicates the recommended oven rack.

The oven tray

It is used:

•as a dish support for all dishes when cooking on one rack only and in Bain-Marie cooking on rack 2;

• as a baking tray (for cakes, tarts, choux pastry, etc.) on rack 2;

• as a dripping pan to catch juices and fat dripping from food situated on the grid (meat, fish, etc.); in this

case, always place it on rack 1;

•as a dish support for multi-level cooking; in this case, place it on rack 1.

We advise against using the oven tray on rack heights 4 and 5.

The grids

They are used:

• as a dish support for multi-level cooking (rack 3 when cooking on 2 racks and rack 3 and 5 when cooking on

3 racks);

• as a support for the meat or fish and the oven tray to catch any dripping fat or juices; in this case, the grid

should be placed on rack 2;

• as a support for the food to be defrosted and the oven tray to catch any melting liquids; in this case, the grid

should be placed on rack 2.

NOTE

If you wish to cook food of considerable dimensions (weighing more than 8 kg), we recommend you use the oven

tray. However, if using the grid is unavoidable, turn it upside down ( ).

The turnspit

The turnspit consists of a support, a spit and a handle.

Proceed as follows:

• Place the turnspit support (A) on rack 3;

• Centre the meat on the spit, making sure you place it at an

equal distance from both ends of the spit (B);

• make sure the meat is kept firmly in place by the forks (C);

• set the forks in the meat using the screws (D);

• secure the spit onto the support, making sure the rear of

the spit is seated firmly in the hollow at the back of the oven

interior.

The removable handle is heatproof to avoid scalding yourself when removing the roast at the end of cooking. The

handle should be removed during cooking.

Use the oven tray on rack 1 to catch any cooking juices or fat, and place the turnspit support on rack 3.

Automatic degreasing by catalysis

On certain models, the interior panels of the oven are coated with a porous enamel, known as catalytic enamel.

This enamel coating has the property of destroying the grease spots that splash onto the oven interior during

cooking under the effect of heat.

The temperature of the oven lining panels has to be in excess of 170° for this grease "oxidation" process to take

place.

The porosity of the catalytic enamel increases the heat exchange surface necessary for the oxidation of these

grease spots to take place by catalysis.

When cooking is complete, if the interior panels of your oven are still dirty, leave the oven on and empty with the

oven door shut, and set the temperature knob to the maximum value, for 60-90 minutes, depending on the

degree of soil inside the appliance. You may also help in the removal of any large pieces of food residue or splashes

of grease using a little hot water and a soft brush.

Warning: The catalytic enamel is resistant but you should however avoid:

- scratching the surface of the enamel coating with sharp objects (such as knives, for example)

- using abrasive detergents or products.

In actual fact, the automatic degreasing properties of this enamel coating would be damaged irreversibly.

This enamel coating is resistant enough to allow for the sliding of several accessories (large grid, dripping pan,

turnspit assembly) without damaging the enamel. Do not worry if you see light white traces appear on the sliding

surfaces of these accessories.

TROUBLESHOOTING

... your oven releases a lot of smoke:

• check whether you selected the correct cooking mode for the cooking required;

• check whether the temperature displayed (if you have adjusted it) is too high;

• check the degree of soil of the oven, and whether it needs to be cleaned: food residue encrusted onto the

enamel coating inside the oven becomes charred and creates both smoke and pungent smells.

... the oven fan stays on when cooking is complete:

• the fan stops automatically when the temperature inside the oven drops sufficiently.

... the oven does not heat:

• make sure the fuses have not blown;

• make sure that there has not been a power failure due to the mains network.

... the display indicates an error type ERxx

The oven is fitted with an autotest system: if it detects an operating anomaly, the display indicates a two-digit code

in the form of: ERxx.

Contact your local retailer or an authorised after-sales service centre (see Technical handbook) and specify:

• your appliance's commercial code and serial number (featured on the guarantee certificate);

• the error code displayed.
