Safety features

System lock

The system lock ￿ prevents the oven from being used unintentionally by children, for example. See "System lock".

Safety switch-off

The oven will switch itself off automatically if it has been on for an unusually long period of time.

The period of time will depend on the particular oven function being used.

If it has switched itself off automatically "Fault 55" will appear in the display. The oven can be used again immedi- ately after switching it off and back on.

Cooling system

A cooling fan will come on automatically when a cooking programme is started. 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 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 on the oven housing unit.

When the temperature in the oven has fallen sufficiently, the cooling fan will switch off automatically.

Vented oven door

The oven door is an open system and the door panes have a heat-reflecting coating. During operation, cool air is passed through the oven door to keep the outer pane cool.

If necessary, the oven door can be dismantled for cleaning.

Door lock for pyrolytic operation

For safety reasons the door locks as soon as the pyrolytic cleaning programme starts. After the pyrolytic programme has finished, the door will remain locked until the temperature in the oven has fallen below 280°C.
