Electrical Connection  
Electrical connection  
Power cable supply connection to the electrical  
mains:  
GB  
The electrical connection to the mains must be made  
on the appliance. The power voltage and frequency  
are as indicated on the rating plate.  
We recommend you use a power supply cable which  
is long enough to allow you to take the oven out of its  
recess in the event of maintenance operations (only  
use HAR - H 05 - RRF quality cables fitted with a plug  
conforming to the regulations in force.  
! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
The plug must be accessible at all times.

Timer Feature  
Manual operation of the oven  
Once the time has been set, the programmer  
automatically switches to manual mode.  
Note: Press the ( button to restore the manual mode  
after every “Automatic” cooking session.  
The timer feature allows you to enter a specific amount  
of time and begins to count down. This feature does not

than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of  
the dishes halfway through the cooking process.  
GB  
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking  
modes between 60°C and Max, except for  
BAKING mode  
• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power  
level);  
The rear heating element and the fan come on,  
guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and  
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for  
baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such  
as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain  
tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.  
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).  
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.  
Practical cooking advice  
! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-  
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn  
temperature sensitive foods.  
MULTI-COOKING mode  
! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes,  
place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking  
residues (fat and/or grease).  
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as  
well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains  
constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and  
browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may  
be used at the same time.  
MULTI-COOKING  
• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires  
more heat on 2.  
BARBECUE mode  
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack  
on top.  
The top heating element comes on.  
The high and direct temperature of the grill is  
recommended for food that requires high surface  
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven  
door closed.  
BARBECUE  
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in  
the centre of the rack.  
GRATIN mode  
• We recommend that you set the maximum power  
level. The top heating element is regulated by a  
thermostat and may not always be on.  
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come  
on. This combination of features increases the  
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of  
the heating elements through forced circulation of the  
air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from  
burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate  
right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the  
oven door closed.  
PIZZA MODE  
• 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).  
PIZZA mode  
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend  
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza  
halfway through the cooking process.  
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as  
the fan, will come on. This combination heats the oven  
rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat,  
particularly from the bottom element. If you use more
