3 Cooling fan

The fan switches on automatically in order to keep the appliance’s surfaces cool. When the oven is switched off, the fan continues to run to cool the appliance down, then switches itself off automatically.

Pre-heating with the RAPID HEAT UP function

After an oven function has been selected, with the additional function RAPID HEAT UP the pre-heating time can be shortened.

Pre-heating the empty oven is unnecesssary for most baking and roasting sessions, because the temperature set is generally reached in a short time (see Tables and Tips).

We recommend pre-heating the empty oven using the RAPID HEAT UP function for biscuits that quickly spread into one another, bread rolls and Swiss rolls.

1 Important: Do not put the food to be cooked into the oven, until RAPID HEAT UP is completed and the oven is operating using the desired function.

1.Set the oven function (e.g. CONVENTIONAL). Change the suggested temperature, if necessary.

2.Press the RAPID HEAT UP button. The symbol lights up:

When the bars flash one after another it shows that RAPID HEAT UP is operating.

When the temperature set is reached, the bars of the heat indicator are lit. An audible signal sounds. The symbol goes out.

The oven now continues heating according to the pre-set oven func- tion and temperature. You can now place the food in the oven.

3 If you generally prefer to put food into a pre-heated oven, you can switch on the RAPID HEAT UP function permanently (see SETTINGS MENU).

The RAPID HEAT UP function is then switched off with the RAPID HEAT UP button.

3 The RAPID HEAT UP function can be switched on with the oven functions PRECISION FAN, FAN BAKING, CONVENTIONAL and

ROTITHERM.
