USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME .HEAT THE OVEN A new oven may release odours that have been left behind during manufacturing: this is completely normal. Before starting to cook food, we therefore recommend heating the oven with it empty in order to remove any possible odours. EN Heat the oven to 250° C for about one hour, preferably using the “Convection bake” function. The oven must be empty during this time. Follow the instructions for setting the function correctly. Notes: It is advisable to air the room after using the appliance for the first time. Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film from the oven and remove any accessories from inside it. DAILY USE 1. SELECT A FUNCTION To select a function, turn the selection knob to the symbol for the function you require. 2. ACTIVATE A FUNCTION MANUAL To start the function you have selected, turn the thermostat knob to set the temperature you require. To interrupt the function at any time, switch off the oven, turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to . DIAMOND CLEAN To activate the “Diamond Clean” cleaning function, pour 200 ml of drinking water into the bottom of the oven, then turn the selection knob and the thermostat knob to the icon. It is best to use the function for 35’. 3. PREHEATING Once the function has been activated, the LED thermostat will switch on signalling that the preheating process has begun. At the end of this process, the LED thermostat switches off indicating that the oven has reached the set temperature: At this point, place the food inside and proceed with cooking. Please note: Placing the food in the oven before preheating has finished may have an adverse effect on the final cooking result. . SETTING THE TIMER This option does not interrupt or activate cooking but allows you to use the display as a timer, both while a function is active and when the oven is off. To activate the timer, turn the timer knob to the desired length of time: an acoustic signal will warn you when the count-down is finished. 3
