Burn-free system
When using the rotisserie, remember that the oven is fitted
with a special system which allows the food to continue to
rotate even when the cooking time is up. This will prevent
the thermal inertia of the oven from affecting in any way the
quality of the food cooked in rotisserie mode.
Please remember that once cooking is over, the spit will
continue to rotate until the function selector “B” is set back to
position 0 or until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Minute Minder Feature
The timer can only operate with the oven switched off and
the function selector “B” set to position 0.
Please remember that the timer does not control the starting
or stopping of the oven, it merely sounds a buzzer when
the time is up and can be interrupted at any time just by
pressing any button.
To set the timer, briefly press button
r
and then make
adjustments using
s
or
t
.
Upon releasing button
s
or
t
, the time set is memorised
but you still have another 3 seconds to continue making
any changes. The display will reset to show the time and
countdown will begin immediately. The
n
icon will remind
you the Minute Minder is on.
Once the countdown is over, a buzzer will sound, and will
stop doing so after 1 minute or if you press any button what-
soever.
Please remember that the countdown is reset and the
n
icon comes off once cooking starts.
Buzzer volume
The volume of the buzzer can be adjusted, either with the
oven switched off or even during cooking, just by pressing
button
s
until you attain the desired tone.

bled. To enable the buttons again, just set knob “B” back
to position 0.
When awaiting a delayed start, indicated by icon “A”/
Auto”, the display will remind you of the end cooking
time alternated with the temperature set. During this wait,
you may not make any changes to the settings made
except for those pertaining to the temperature and cook-
ing mode.
Note: if the oven is already hot, the light and the fan on
the inside will stay on until it has cooled down sufficiently.
To cancel a cooking schedule already programmed
To cancel any programming you have made, set the func-
tion selector “B” to position “0”.
The cancellation will be confirmed by the word -OFF that
appears for 3 seconds on the display.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some
models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on
automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard exiting
between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is finished, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.
Note: In “Fast Cooking” mode, the fan comes on
automatically only once the oven is hot.
Notice: the appliance is fitted with a diagnosis system which
detects any malfunctions. The user is informed of the latter
by messages such as “Fn Fm” that come up on the display
(
n and m = single digit numbers
). In these cases, you need
to call for technical assistance as the oven is faulty.
