When the power supply is restored, the mode will have to be reprogrammed).
!There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode.
!Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being damaged.
!Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the external temperature of the oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door, as well as towards the bottom of the oven door.
At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN mode, the cooling fan operates at low speed.
!Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
