9.5 Brightness of the display
There are two modes of display
brightness:
• Night brightness - when the appliance
is deactivated, the brightness of the
display is lower between 10 PM and 6
AM.
• Day brightness:
– when the appliance is activated.
– if you touch a sensor field during
the night brightness (apart from
ON / OFF), the display goes back
to the day brightness mode for the
next 10 seconds.
– if the appliance is deactivated and
you set the Minute Minder. When
the Minute Minder function ends,
the display goes back to the night
brightness.
9.6 Cooling fan
When the oven operates, the cooling fan
turns on automatically to keep the
surfaces of the oven cool. If you turn off
the oven, the cooling fan can continue to
operate until the oven cools down.
10. HINTS AND TIPS
Refer to Safety chapters.
10.1 Double oven
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two
ovens. It has 4 shelf positions. Use it to
cook smaller quantities of food. It gives
especially good results when used to
cook fruitcakes, sweets and savoury
flans or quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is the bigger of the two
ovens. It is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
10.2 Baking
For the first baking, use the lower
temperature.
You can extend the baking time by 10 –
15 minutes if you bake cakes on more
than one shelf position.
Cakes and pastries at different heights
do not always brown equally. There is no
need to change the temperature setting if
an unequal browning occurs. The
differences equalize during baking.
Trays in the oven can distort during
baking. When the trays are cold again,
the distortions disappear.
