They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. [. . . ] This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously. FAST COOKING mode The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack only.

Before using the appliance, we recommend you eliminate these with a special non-abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. To obtain the best results with your hob: • Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere to the cooking zone perfectly. Switching on the glass ceramic hob Traditional cooking zones Traditional cooking zones are made up of circular heating elements. They turn red approximately ten seconds after they have been turned on. Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob allowing you to select from 9 different temperature settings from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. Extendable cooking zones The extendable radiant elements (B) are recognisable by the fact that they have a double heating zone. You can turn on only the smaller internal cooking zone or both the external and internal zones. The control knob allows you to choose between two power levels, which are both adjustable between a minimum value of 1 to a maximum of 9: • The lowest power level can be set by turning the knob clockwise from 1 to 9. • Turn the knob to completely (A) until you hear a slight click, to enable the maximum power level, which in turn can be adjusted between 9 and 1 by turning the knob anticlockwise. To restore the minimum power level, turn the knob and set it back to position 0. [. . . ] Before initiating the FAST CLEAN mode: • Remove large or course food residues from inside of the oven using a damp sponge. • Do not place tea towels or pot holders over the oven handle. If the oven is too hot, pyrolysis may not start. The programme may only be started once the oven door has been closed. [. . . ]
