USING THE OVEN 

9.1 

Precautions and General Advice 

 When the oven and grill are used for the first time, they should be heated 
to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues 
left  by  the  manufacturing  process,  which  might  contaminate  foods  with 
unpleasant smells. 

 

Oven accessories which may come into contact with foods are made from 
materials  compliant  with  directive  89/109/EEC  of  21/12/88  and  national 
relevant regulations. 

 

To  prevent  excessive  amounts  of  condensation  from  forming  on  the 
internal  glass,  food  should  not  be  left  inside  the  oven  for  too  long  after 
cooking. 

9.2 

Operating settings 

This  product  is  programmed  to  provide  3  operating  settings,  which  can 
be\modified by pressing PT2. 

Standby  setting: 

activated  as  soon  as  the  current  time  has  been 

confirmed, with DSP1 on and showing the current time. 

ON setting: 

from the standby setting, press PT2 once. All the displays and 

knobs light up. 

OFF setting: 

from the ON setting, press PT2 once. 

Only the symbol 

 on DSP1 remains on. 

The  heating  system  is  not  activated  immediately  in  any  of  these 
functions, in order to improve operator safety.

 

9.3 

First Use 

At first use, or after a power failure, the oven's left hand-display, DSP1, will 

show a flashing 

 symbol. To start any cooking operation, the current 

time must be set. 

9.3.1 

Setting the current time 

To  set  the  current  time,  turn  PT1  to  the  right  and  left  to  increase  or 
decrease the hours. Press it once to move on to setting the minutes. Turn 
it the right and left to increase or decrease the minutes and press it to set 

the current time. The symbol 

 will appear on the display, which will stop 

flashing. 

9.3.2 

Setting the current time 

It might become necessary to change the current time, for example at the 
switch  from  summer  to  winter  time.  To  do  this,  starting  from  the  standby 
setting  (see  point  “7.2  Operating  settings”)  keep  PT1  pressed  for  a  few 
seconds  until  the  figures  on  DSP1  flash.  Now  repeat  the  operations 
described in point “7.3.1 Setting the current time”.
