Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

￿The “Control panel lock” and “DEMO mode” can be activated/deactivated even when the control panel is switched off.
