DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS STOP BUTTON Use this button to set the time when turning on the appliance for the first time or after a power failure, scroll through preset programs and terminate cooking cycles. START BUTTON Use this button to set the time when turning on the appliance for the first time or after a power failure, scroll through preset programs and start cooking cycles. DISPLAY Displays the current time, the selected program, the cooking parameters of the selected program and (for 90 cm models only) the operating power. PROGRAM SELECTION KNOB Turn this knob to set the cooking cycle with a preset program. STEAM VENTING CONTROL KNOB This two-setting knob allows the steam formed during the cooking of foods to be vented while cooking is in progress. The venting levels are from 0 to 1 and all the intermediate positions between these settings can be used. USING THE OVEN 4. 1 Precautions and General Advice When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to 200°C for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to ensure the temperature inside the oven does not drop far enough to impair cooking results. To avoid unpleasant contact with any steam inside the oven, open the door in two stages: hold it half-open (about 5 cm) for 4-5 seconds, then open it completely. 4. 2 Inside lights The inside lights are turned on by turning the thermostat knob. 4. 3 Preheating When the oven is cold, set a preheating temperature of no more than 200°C. Once the set temperature is reached, wait a few minutes after the buzzer sounds or after the pilot light goes out before starting cooking processes. 4. 4 Setting the time At first use, or after a power failure, the time must be set. The parameters set are now saved in the chosen program. Press START to display the parameters just set. Press START again to run the program just edited. 4. 8 Humidified fan-mode cooking Use the knob to select one of the preset programs (P1 ­ P14). The display shows the parameters of the selected program. Press START to confirm the start of the program. The program starts, performing the preheating stage; the display shows "PrEh". When the preheating is complete, a beep sounds to indicate that cooking can start, and the message "PrEh" flashes on the display. Keep START pressed for a few seconds to start cooking; another BEEP sounds to signal the switch from preheating to cooking. (If START is not pressed after the beep, the temperature is held constant for about 10 minutes, after which it will start to drop for a period up to a maximum time of 20 minutes, counted from when the beep sounded. ­ although this is not recommended in terms of cooking quality, the program can be started even before the preheating temperature is reached by keeping START pressed for a few seconds. During cooking, the display shows the time left until the end of the cooking process, the temperature set, the number of humidification cycles set (if any) and the number of the program being used, in alternation. [. . . ] Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers which will damage the surface. Use ordinary non-abrasive products for steel, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or chamois leather. 33 Instructions for the User 5. 2 Cleaning the inside of the oven To keep the oven in good condition, it must be cleaned regularly at the end of each day, after allowing it to cool.
