Minute minder
The minute minder will mark the end of a
timed period with an acoustic alarm. The
maximum timing is 60 minutes.
To set the minute minder:
1. Select the desired cooking function with
the oven function control knob
2. Turn the minute minder control knob
clockwise until the 60 minutes position
and then back to the required time.
3. Once the pre-set time has elapsed, an
acoustic signal will be heard and the oven
will automatically switch off. Turn the mi-
nute minder and the oven function and
thermostat control knobs to the OFF po-
sition.
Turn the minute minder control knob to
the position
if you want to cook with-
out setting a timed period.
General control lamp
The general control lamp will switch on when
the oven function control knob and/or the
cooking zone control knobs are set.
Before first use
Warning! Before using the appliance,
remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the appliance, including the
advertising labels and any protective
film.
Before cooking for the first time, carefully
wash the oven accessories.
Heating the empty oven
Before first use, the oven should be heated
without food. During this time, an unpleasant
odour may be emitted. This is quite normal.
1. Switch the oven function control knob to
conventional cooking
2. Set the thermostat control knob to max-
imum
3. Open a window for ventilation
4. Allow the oven to run empty for approxi-
mately 45 minutes
This procedure should be repeated with the
grill function
and fan cooking function
for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Once this operation is carried out, let the
oven cool down, then clean the oven
cavity with a soft cloth soaked in warm
water to which a little mild washing-up
liquid has been added.
Heating the hotplate
When using the hob for the first time, it is im-
portant to note that the plate may smoke a
little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when used for the first time. This is quite nor-
mal and will disappear after a few minutes.
Helpful hints and tips
Using the gas hob
Start your cooking with a big flame by turning
the knob to the symbol
. Then adjust the
flame as necessary.
The outside of the flame is much hotter than
its inside (nucleus). Accordingly , the top of
the flame should lick the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flames mean a waste of gas.
In contrast with electric grids, gas burners do
not require flat-bottomed pans: the flames
lick the bottom and spread the heat all over
the surface.
No special pans are required for gas
burners. However, thin walled pans
transmit the heat to the food more quick-
ly than thick-walled ones.
Since heat doesn't spread evenly on the
pan's bottom, the food may only be partially
heated. Consequently it is advisable to stir
the food many times.
