cooking mode from the point at which it was interrupted,
provided that the temperature has not dropped below a
certain level. Programmed cooking modes which have not
yet started will not be restored and must be reprogrammed
(for example: a cooking mode has been programmed to
start at 20:30. At 19:30 a blackout occurs. When the power
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.
! The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds
from selecting the desired cycle.
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 sufciently.
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 tted 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 rst manual
cooking mode (top left) and the
button simultaneously
for 6 seconds. Once the restore procedure is complete, a
buzzer will sound. The rst time the
button is pressed, the
oven will behave as if it is being switched on for the rst 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 rst
manual cooking mode.
Manual cooking modes
! 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.
