The rotisserie

To start the rotisserie, proceed as follows:

a)place the grill pan on the 1st shelf.

b)insert the special rotisserie support on the 3rd shelf and position the spit by inserting it through the special hole into the rotisserie at the back of the oven.

c)start the rotisserie by setting the function selector “B” to

2/x.

Burn-free system

When using the rotisserie, remember that the oven is fitted with a special system which allows the food to continue to rotate even when the cooking time is up. This will prevent the thermal inertia of the oven from affecting in any way the quality of the food cooked in rotisserie mode.

Please remember that once cooking is over, the spit will continue to rotate until the function selector “B” is set back to position 0 or until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Minute Minder Feature

The timer can only operate with the oven switched off and the function selector “B” set to position 0.

Please remember that the timer does not control the starting or stopping of the oven, it merely sounds a buzzer when the time is up and can be interrupted at any time just by pressing any button.

To set the timer, briefly press button r and then make adjustments using s or t.

Upon releasing button sor t, the time set is memorised but you still have another 3 seconds to continue making any changes. The display will reset to show the time and

countdown will begin immediately. The nicon will remind you the Minute Minder is on.

Once the countdown is over, a buzzer will sound, and will stop doing so after 1 minute or if you press any button what- soever.

Please remember that the countdown is reset and the n icon comes off once cooking starts.

Buzzer volume

The volume of the buzzer can be adjusted, either with the oven switched off or even during cooking, just by pressing

button suntil you attain the desired tone.

How to set a programme to automatically switch off and on:

To programme the cooking mode, follow the instructions below:

•select the cooking mode by turning function selector “B”, and turn the temperature control “C” to required setting.

•select the cooking time by pressing button p. The rec- ommended cooking time will appear on the display, and

it can be altered by pressing s or t until the desired cooking time comes up. Upon releasing the buttons, the cooking time set will be memorised, but you still have another 3 seconds to continue your modification. Remem- ber that, in this case, the value entered also includes the time required for the oven to reach the desired tempera- ture.

•select the end cooking time by pressing button q. The current end cooking time is displayed. This is calculated by adding the cooking time previously set to the current

time. Press button s or t until the display shows the time you want the food to be ready. Upon releasing the buttons, the end cooking time set will be memorised, but you still have another 3 seconds to continue your modifi- cation.

•press button o to activate the programme. For safety reasons, if button o is not pressed within one minute after you have set function selector “B”, the word -ENDwill come up on the display and the buttons will be disa- bled. To enable the buttons again, just set knob “B” back to position 0.

When awaiting a delayed start, indicated by icon “A”/ ”Auto”, the display will remind you of the end cooking time alternated with the temperature set. During this wait, you may not make any changes to the settings made except for those pertaining to the temperature and cook- ing mode.

Note: if the oven is already hot, the light and the fan on the inside will stay on until it has cooled down sufficiently.

To cancel a cooking schedule already programmed

To cancel any programming you have made, set the func- tion selector “B” to position “0”.

The cancellation will be confirmed by the word -OFFthat appears for 3 seconds on the display.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on automatically when the oven is hot.

When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting between the oven door and the control panel.

Note: When cooking is finished, the fan stays on until the oven cools down sufficiently.

Note: In “Fast Cooking” mode, the fan comes on automatically only once the oven is hot.

Notice: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter by messages such as “Fn Fm” that come up on the display (n and m = single digit numbers). In these cases, you need to call for technical assistance as the oven is faulty.
