[. . . ] Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer sounds and the oven turns off. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used as a normal timer. To use the oven manually, in other words when you do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the  symbol. 5 Cooking advice When using the oven, only one rack or drip pan should be used at a time. The rack or pan should be inserted into the bottom or top guides depending on whether the food needs more heat from the top or bottom. Preheating If the oven must be preheated (this is generally required for leavened foods), we recommend using the "conventional" oven feature which makes it possible to reach the temperature desired in a very short time. After the oven has been preheated, the thermostat light will turn off. At this point, you can select the most suitable setting to cook the dish. Cooking Fish and Meat Meat must weigh at least 1 Kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-175°C). For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the rack and place the drip pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top. Cooking Pastries Always preheat the oven when cooking pastries. Do not open the door in order to prevent the pastry from dropping. The batter or dough should not be too liquidy so that the cooking time is not excessive. In general: Pastry is too dry Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time. Pastry dropped Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C. GB Pastry is too dark on top Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time. The pastry sticks to the pan Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour. I used more than one level and they are not all at the same cooking point Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time. Using the Grill Grilling may be carried out with a two stage heating element situated in the top of the oven chamber. The centre, or the complete area of the grill can be selected by turning the SELECTOR knob in a with clockwise direction to align the symbols the mark on the control panel. [. . . ] Exhausted appliances may be collected by the public waste collection service, taken to suitable collection areas in the area or, if permitted by current national legislation, they may be returned to the dealers as part of an exchange deal for a new equivalent product. All major manufacturers of household appliances participate in the creation and organisation of systems for the collection and disposal of old and disused appliances. Respecting and conserving the environment • You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning. • Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion. 9 Care and maintenance Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Inspecting the oven seals Check the door seals around the oven regularly. [. . . ]
