-press the button to stop cooking. In this case the appliance stores the temperature modified previously in its memory (manual modes only);

-switch off the oven by pressing the button for 3 seconds..

7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in operation, an automatic system within the appliance will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at which it was interrupted, provided that the temperature has not dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not yet started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode has been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a blackout occurs. 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.In the FAST COOKING mode, the fan is activated automatically after ten minutes. 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.

Oven light

The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when a cooking mode starts.

When models featuring LED INSIDE technology begin cooking, the LEDs on the door light up for improved illumination of all cooking levels.

The button can be used to switch on the light at any time.

Residual heat indicators

The appliance is fitted with a residual heat indicator. When the oven is off, the “residual heat” bar on the display lights up to indicate high temperatures inside the oven cavity. The individual segments of the bar switch off one by one as the temperature inside the oven falls.

Restoring the factory settings

The oven factory settings can be restored to reset all selections made by the user (clock and customised durations). To carry out a reset, switch off the oven, then press and hold the button corresponding to the first manual

cooking mode (top left) and the button simultaneously for 6 seconds. Once the restore procedure is complete, a

buzzer will sound. The first time the button is pressed, the oven will behave as if it is being switched on for the first time.

Standby

This product complies with the requirements of the latest European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the standby mode. If no buttons are pressed for 30

minutes and the control panel/door lock has not been activated, the appliance automatically reverts to standby GB mode. The standby mode is visualised by the high luminosity “Watch Icon”. As soon as interaction with the machine resumes, the system’s operating mode is restored.

Modes

!In order to guarantee wonderfully soft and crunchy foodstuffs, the oven releases – in the form of water vapour - the humidity naturally withheld in the food itself. In this way, optimal cooking results can be achieved for all types of food.

!Every time the oven is switched on, it suggests the first manual cooking mode.

Manual cooking modes

!All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C as desired.In the GRILL mode, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually. Any temperature adjustments will be stored in the appliance memory and suggested again the next time this mode is used. If the selected temperature is higher than the temperature inside the oven, the text “Hot” appears on the display. However, it will still be possible to start cooking.

MULTILEVEL mode

All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

GRILL mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed (see “Practical cooking advice”).

FAN GRILLING mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating element is also activated. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed (see “Practical cooking advice”).

FAST COOKING mode

This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
