Usage Features:
Before First Use:
- Read all instructions in the manual.
- Ensure the oven is unplugged and the timer is in the "OFF" position.
- Wash all accessories (baking tray, grid, rotisserie set) in warm water or a dishwasher, then dry thoroughly.
- Reassemble accessories and plug in the oven.
- It is recommended to run the oven on the highest temperature (220°C) using the grill function for approximately 15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues and initial odors. Some smoke and odors may be present during this initial run, which is normal.
Roasting:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C for 15 minutes for best results.
- Place the dish on the grid in the top position, ensuring it is close to the top heating element without touching.
- Place the baking tray on the lowest position to catch drips.
- Set the temperature knob to the desired temperature.
- Brush dishes with sauces or oil as desired.
- Set the function knob to "upper heating element".
- Set the timer to the desired cooking time.
- Turn the dish halfway through the cooking time.
- Once roasting is complete, turn the function control to "OFF".
Baking:
- Note that the BAKE function uses only the lower heating elements. Preheat to 220°C for 15 minutes for best results.
- Set the temperature control to the desired temperature.
- Place the grid on the lower or middle support of the rack.
- Place the food on the grid, ensuring it is close to the lower heating element without touching.
- Brush dishes with sauces or oil as desired.
- Set the timer to the desired cooking time.
- Turn the function control to "lower heating element".
- Turn the dish halfway through the cooking time.
- Once baking is complete, turn the function knob to "OFF".
Reheating:
- The reheating function uses all heating elements.
- Place food on the grid in the middle position.
- Set the temperature control to the desired temperature.
- Set the function knob to "upper and lower heating element".

Grill/Rotisserie Function:
- Not recommended for meat pieces over 1.8-2.25 kg. Tie chicken parts with string to prevent them from falling apart and ensure smooth rotation.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C for 15 minutes for best results.
- Set the temperature control to the desired temperature.
- Place poultry on the rotisserie skewer, securing it with clamps and wing screws, ensuring it is centered.
- Insert the pointed end of the skewer into the drive opening on the right oven wall, and rest the square end on the skewer carrier on the left oven wall.
- Slide the baking tray to the lowest position to collect moisture.
- Set the function control to "lower and upper heating element + grill" or "upper and lower heating element + convection + grill" position.
- Set the timer to the desired cooking time.
- Once cooking is finished, the oven bell rings, turn the function control off.
- Remove the skewer using the grill skewer handle, lifting the left side first, then pulling it out of the drive opening. Carefully remove meat from the skewer and place it on a cutting board or dish.
Convection Function:
- Convection cooking combines hot air movement via a fan with conventional functions, leading to faster and more even cooking.
- The fan gently circulates air, browning food quickly while retaining moisture and flavor.
- This allows for cooking at lower temperatures, saving energy and keeping the kitchen cooler.
- The convection fan operates when the convection and grill knob is in the convection position, and the timer is set.
