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.

!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 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
	GB
! 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.
LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting,
preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and
slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options
are: 40, 65 and 90°C.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus
guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform
manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking
temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise).
