Manual function Press button “MANUAL” to set the oven for manual function. To set the minute minder : Press button “COUNTDOWN” and at the same time turn the time setting knob until the duration time is displayed (maximum 23 hours, 59 minutes). After a few seconds the time of day will show in the display.
To set the timer to switch off only (Immediate start - Automatic stop) This is useful if you want to begin cooking immediately but have the oven switched off automatically. 1. Set the function selector knob and thetemperature control knob on the required settings. 2. Place the dish in the oven. 3. Press button “COOK TIME” and, at the same time, turn the time setting knob until the required cooking duration is displayed. At the end of the cooking time the oven will switch off, an alarm will sound.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the oven, before using the appliance. First cleaning Before the first use of the cooking hob clean the ceramic top with a damp sponge. Then dry carefully. Remove the accessories from the oven and wash in warm and soapy water. Then rinse and dry carefully. First heating up In order to remove possible production remnants, clean the appliance and heat up the oven without food once prior to first use. Ensure that the room is well--ventilated.
HOW TO USE YOUR COOKING HOB Hilight (radiant) cooking zones Cooking zones turn red within 10 seconds after they have been switched on. They become red and then dark again while they are in use (refer to the ”Cooking Guides” chapter). Each cooking zone is protected by a temperature limiter that switches it off if it overheats (for example operation with nothing on it). To switch a zone on: • • Turn the knob towards the right or the left.
OVEN CONTROLS The function selector To obtain the desired cooking mode, turn the function selector : • Oven light • Fan oven • Thermal grilling • Roasting meat • Preheating • Conventional oven • Grill • Pyrolytic cleaning Once a function has been selected, an appropriate temperature must be set for the oven to heat up. To switch off the oven turn the temperature control to and then the function selector to 0. The oven light comes on as soon as the function selector is turned.
COOKING FUNCTIONS Fan oven Dishes can be cooked on one or several levels using the fan oven. The circulation of hot air produces an even cooking temperature. Fan oven cooking is ideal for all types of dishes. The advantages of fan oven Faster preheating : • As the fan oven quickly reaches temperature, it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven although you may find that you need to allow an extra 5--7 minutes on cooking times.
Cooking the same type of food on two levels Which accessories to use ? In most cases, use wire shelves on runners ➀ and ➂. See cooking charts. Cooking different types of dishes on two levels The multi--level position makes it possible for you to cook a complete meal at once. To do so, be guided by the following recommendations : • The various dishes should require similar temperatures. • Overall cooking time should be the same as the longest cooking time required.
Thermal grilling Thermal grilling is used with the door closed. Never leave the grill unattended when cooking. Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate alternately, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn the food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimize cooking smells in the kitchen.
Roasting meat This position is ideal for cooking meat. Spitting of fat, smoking and odours are considerably reduced. Meat is evenly browned and tender, while the oven stays cleaner longer. How to proceed ? 1. Preheat the oven by putting the selector in the position and then the thermostat on the temperature required. 2. Place the meat in the oven, then, without changing the temperature position, place the selector in the position, for roasting meat.
Preheating This function is suitable for preheating the oven when you have to roast meat (see cooking guide). How to proceed ? 1. Turn the function selector to and the temperature control knob to the required temperature (see cooking guides). The temperature control indicator will light up and remain lit until the required temperature has been reached. 2. When the temperature indicator light goes out, turn the function selector to the roasting meat position . 3. Place the dish in the oven.
Conventional oven Ideal for all types of cooking, especially baking, fish, terrines and vegetable based dishes. The oven should be pre--heated. To ensure even heat distribution, we recommend you cook on one level only. How to proceed ? 1. Pre--heat the oven by setting the function selector to and the temperature control to the required temperature. See the cooking guide. Pre--heating time : • Approximatively 6 minutes to reach 150°C. • Approximatively 9 minutes to reach 200°C. 2.
Grill Use the grill with the oven door closed to prevent damage to the control panel. Never leave the grill unattended when cooking. Preheat for 3 to 5 minutes. This cooking mode is ideal for cuts of meat (pork chops, sausages,...) which stay tender and juicy, for toasting or for browning toppings on prepared dishes, preferably hot (e.g. macaroni cheese). How to proceed ? Grilling 1. Prepare the food to be grilled. and then the 2.
HINTS AND TIPS : THE HOB Safety • • • • • The ceramic cooking hob of your cooker is insensitive to temperature variations and resists minor shocks. However, it is not unbreakable. Do not use your hob as a countertop and do not drop small objects (spice jars, sharp tools, etc.), on it. If your hob is damaged (spalling, crack, etc.) by a shock, disconnect the cooker from the electricity supply and contact your local Service Force Centre. Never heat an empty pan on the ceramic hob.
HINTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COOKING Choice of ovenware Practical tips The thickness, conductivity and colour of ovenware affect the cooking results. A) Aluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and aluminium with a non--stick interior reduce cooking and base browning. These materials are recommended for light, soft texturedcakes and roasts. B) Enamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium, zinc--plated iron, porcelain, aluminium with a non--stick interior and coloured exterior increase cooking and base browning.
COOKING GUIDES The preheating of the oven is necessary for following cooking settings : For cooking setting preheating mode For cooking setting preheating mode Dish Cooking time : approx. 6 minutes to reach 150°C time : approx. 9 minutes to reach 200°C time : approx.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Cleaning the hob Ensure the hob is cool and that all control knobs are in the off position before cleaning. Clean the hob before each use, to ensure that nothing will burn onto the ceramic hob. Never use aggressive or abrasive agents, such as oven sprays, stain or rust removers, scouring powders, or sponges with an abrasive effect. Special cleaning agents and ceramic hob scrapers are available from your local Service Force Centre.
Replacing the oven light Ensure the cooker is disconnected from the electrical supply before changing the bulb. The 25 W -- E14 (230/240 V) screw--in bulb is a “heat--resistant” bulb capable of withstanding temperatures up to 300°C. Replacement bulbs are available through your local Service Force Centre. The bulb is located at the back innerside of the oven and can be reached from inside the oven. special To replace the bulb : 1. Unscrew the bulb protection cover (turn anti--clockwise). 2.
CLEANING AND CARE Cleaning of the pyrolytic enamel oven The principle The walls of the oven are made of special high temperature enamel which is shiny in appearance and smooth to the touch. During the pyrolytic cleaning, the temperature of the oven reaches approximatively 500°C. The food and grease splatters are carbonised and wiped away as ash residue when the interior is completely cold. Smoke is filtered out by a catalyser.
Programming semi-- automatic cleaning Immediate start - Automatic stop 1. Set the function selector and thermostat controls on the pyrolytic positions : P1.30, and AUTO are displayed (pyrolysis lasting : 1 hour 30 minutes). If your oven is badly soiled, you may increase the time : 2. Press button “COOK TIME” and, at the same time, turn the time setting knob to increase the duration time of the pyrolytic cleaning (maximum time is three hours). Once the pyrolytic cycle time is over : P0.
