Turning the oven off

IMPORTANT!
Pre-heating
Pre-heating your oven is recommended in several cooking
and grilling functions. Pre-heating your appliance allows it
to reach the required temperature quickly and efficiently as
well as cook your food at the correct temperature for the
entire cook time.
These models are equipped with a built-in rapid heat-up
that activates each time you start an oven function. During
the rapid heat-up phase the heat comes from the element
surrounding the fan as well as the grill elements above
the food. This combination will heat up your oven 30%
quicker than it would on standard “Bake”. The oven will
automatically revert to the set cooking function once the
preset temperature is reached.
Cooling / Vent fan
The appliance is fitted with a cooling fan. This prevents
the kitchen cabinet from overheating and reduces the
condensation inside the oven. It will operate whenever
the oven is in use and blow warm air across the top of the
oven door.
NOTE: If the oven is still hot from cooking, the cooling fan
will keep running to cool the oven down and will switch off
by itself once cool.
Condensation
Excess condensation may fog the oven door. This may
happen when cooking large quantities of food from a cold
start. Minimise condensation by:
Keeping the amount of water used whilst cooking to a
minimum.
Making sure the oven door is firmly closed.
Baking custard in a baking dish that is slightly smaller than
the water container.
Cooking casseroles with the lid on.
NOTE: If using water in cooking, this will turn to steam
and may condense outside your appliance. This is not a

Cooking with the timer
Your oven is equipped with a programmable controller that
can be used to turn the oven on and off automatically. The

30 seconds after a cooking function has started, it is
no longer possible to delay the start time.
•
In order to delay a cooking function that has already
started, the oven needs to be switched off then
switched on again and re-programmed.
•
Even though the heating element turns off, the oven
will still retain substantial heat. This will continue to
cook food until it is removed or the oven cools down.
If you do not plan on being present when the oven
turns off, you should take this extra heating time
into account.
