–Timer to automatically switch cooking programmes on and off with auto- matic use made of residual heat

–Programme lock, to prevent unintentional altering of programme settings

–System lock, to prevent the appliance being used unintentionally

Cooling system

As soon as the oven is switched on a cooling fan is automatically engaged. The cooling fan mixes hot air from the oven cavity with cool room air before venting it out into the kitchen through vents located between the appliance door and the control panel.

The controls and door handle will get slightly warm. They are quite safe to touch.

The cooling fan will continue to run for a while after the oven has been switched off to prevent any humidity building up in the oven, on the control panel or in the oven housing unit. When the temperature in the oven has fallen sufficiently the cooling fan will switch off automatically.

Door contact switch

There is a door contact switch in the right hand door hinge.

If the door is opened during operation, the door contact switch causes the oven heating, and the fan if a "Fan" setting is being used, to be switched off.

This helps reduce the amount of heat lost from the oven cavity, e.g. when basting a roast.

PerfectClean treated surfaces

The following surfaces are all treated with PerfectClean enamelling.

–Oven interior

–Runners

–Baking tray

–Grill pan

–Anti-splash tray

–Rack

PerfectClean enamelled surfaces have very good anti-stick properties and are much easier to keep clean than conventional enamel, if cleaned regularly.
