Do not use pans with concave or convex bases

Make sure that the handles of

cookware do not stick out over the

edge of the range, to avoid them

being knocked over by accident.

This also makes it more difficult

for children to reach the cooking

OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Heatingandcookinginthemultifunctionoventakesplaceasfollows:

• by normal convection -

Theheatisproducedbytheupperandlowerheatingelements.

• by forced convection -

 Theheatproducedbythecircularelementisdistributedthroughouttheovenbythe

fan.

• by semi-forced convection -

Theheatproducedbytheupperandlowerheatingelementsisdistributedthroughout

theovenbythefan.

• by radiation -

Theheatisradiatedbytheinfraredbroilelement.

• by radiation and fan -

 Theradiatedheatfromtheinfraredbroilelementisdistributedthroughouttheoven

bythefan.

• by semi-forced convection from the top -

 Theheatproducedbytheupperheatingelementisdistributedthroughouttheoven

bythefan.

• by ventilation -

 Thefoodisdefrostedbyusingthefanonlyfunctionwithoutheat.

USING THE OVEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Putintheshelfandthetray.

hourstoremovetracesofgreaseandsmellsfromthecomponents.

 There will be a distinctive smell and a small amount of smoke during the

conditioning process as manufacturing residue is burnt off. This is normal,

but make sure the kitchen is well ventilated during the conditioning.

During a semi-automatic or

automatic oven cooking program,

once completed the programming

procedure the oven lamp/s will be lit

until the end of the cooking program.

This means that, in case of delayed

cooking start, the oven lamp/s will

remain always lit.

In addition, if a fan assisted semi-

automatic or automatic oven cooking

program is set, further to the oven

lamp/s also the oven fan motor (the

motor inside the oven cavity) may be

operating (together with the cooling

fan motor) before the start of the

cooking program; this is possible if

the oven or cooktop has been used

previously and the range is still hot/

warm.
