Electrical connection
! Ovens with a three-pole power supply cable are
designed to operate with alternated current at the
supply frequency and voltage indicated on the data
plate (at the bottom of the oven dashboard). The
earthing conductor of the cable is the yellow-green
conductor.
Two types of connection are provided:
Connection n° 1
Connecting the power supply cable to the mains.
Fit a normalized plug to the cable, which corresponds
to the load indicated on the data plate; if the cooker is
connected directly to the mains, an omnipolar circuit-
breaker with a minimum opening of 3 mm between the
contacts, suitable for the load indicated and
complying with current directives, must be installed
between the appliance and the mains (the earthing
wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker).
The power supply cable must be positioned so that it
does not exceed room temperature by 50°C at any
point of its length. Before making the connection
check that:
• the circuit breakers or fuses of the home system
can support appliance load (see data plate);
• the power supply system has an efficient earthing
connection which complies with the provisions of
current regulations and the law;
• there is easy access to the socket or the omnipolar
circuit-breaker once the cooker has been installed.
! do not use reducers, adapters or shunts as these
could cause heating or burning.
Connection n° 2
Disposing of the plug.
! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
Ensure that before disposing of the plug itself, you
make the pins unusable so that it cannot be
accidentally inserted into a socket. Instructions for
connecting cable to an alternative plug:
! the wires in the mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green & Yellow-Earth
Blue-Neutral
Brown-Live
If the colours of the wires in the mains lead do not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.
Connect Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E”
or 6 or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.
Connect Brown wire to terminal marked “L” orcoloured Red. Connect Blue wire to terminal marked
“N” or coloured Black. If a 13 amp plug (BS 1363) is
used it must be fitted with a 13 amp fuse.
A 15 amp plug must be protected by a 15 amp fuse,
either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution
board.If you are in any doubt about the electrical
supply to your machine, consult a qualified electrician
before use.
How to connect an alternative plug

GB! The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty
oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature
for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well
ventilated before switching the oven off and opening
the oven door. The appliance may produce a slightly
unpleasant odour caused by the burning away of
protective substances used during the manufacturing
process.
Starting the oven
1. Select the desired cooking mode by turning the
SELECTOR knob.
2. Select the desired temperature with the
THERMOSTAT knob. See the Cooking advice table for
cooking modes and the suggested cooking
temperatures (see Cooking Modes).
3. When preheating is finished, the THERMOSTAT
indicator light will stay on: place the food in the oven.
4. You may do the following during cooking:
- change the cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR
knob.
- change the temperature by turning the
THERMOSTAT knob.
- stop cooking by turning the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
! Never put objects directly on the oven bottom to
avoid damaging the enamel coating.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan  that
blows out air between the control panel and the oven
door.
! Once the cooking has been completed, the cooling
fan remains on until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
Oven light
It goes on when selecting  with the SELECTOR
knob. It stays on when a cooking mode is selected.
How to use the timer*
1. To set the buzzer, turn the TIMER knob clockwise
almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time:
align the minutes shown on the knob with the indicator
on the control panel.
3. The timer operates in minutes: when the selected
time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound.
! The timer does not turn the oven on or off.
Start-up and use
* Only on certain models

GBCooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 60°C and MAX, except for the GRILL
programme, for which only the MAX power level is
recommended.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use
one cooking rack only; if more than one rack is used,
the heat will be distributed unevenly.
BAKING mode
The lower heating element comes on. This mode may
be used in cooking temperature sensitive foods,
especially pies, which need to rise and so should be
heated from below.
TOP OVEN mode
The top heating element comes on. This mode can be
used to brown food at the end of cooking.
GRILL mode
The top heating element comes on. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high surface temperature: such as beef
steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc...
Always cook in this mode with the oven door partially
open.
Cooking modes
Practical cooking advice
! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan
in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or
grease).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power
level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan
(prevents crust from forming by extending cooking
time).
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
