4.10 How "programmed preheating" works

If the above parameters are set correctly, and only if the knob is set on P9, the oven will run the preheating program every day at the set time; during the preheating the display will show the "PrEh" message, and once the set temperature is reached it will be kept constant until the switch-off (OFF) time set, or until the user interrupts it by pressing the STOP button.

After STOP has been pressed, the oven is ready to run any cooking program.

4.11 Manual mode cooking

Use the knob to select the "easy” program (P10 *).

The special feature of this user-editable program is that the cooking parameters set are not retained in the memory when the knob is turned to any other position.

This means that an "empty" program is always immediately available for quick, easy editing.
