Your oven can be preheated to a desired temperature prior to convection cooking.

•When the oven reaches the desired temperature, the audible signal will sound and the temperature will be displayed in ºC.

Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after opening and closing the door, as this will cancel the Convection mode.

•The preheated temperature will be maintained for approximately 30 minutes.

After this time, preheat will be cancelled.

•During preheating and convection cooking, you will hear the cooling fan cycling on and off. This is completely normal and will not affect the cooking.
