When the oven is working
Interrupting a cooking cycle
You can stop the cooking process at
any time by pressing the
OFF
key
once.
The oven incorporates a steam-re-
duction function that is activated
when the OFF key is pressed to
gradually release the steam from
the cavity, so that there is no sud-
den rush of steam when the appli-
ance door is opened. This function
takes around 3 minutes and during
it the display shows the word “ U AP ”
(VAP).
Warning!
•
When opening the door during or
upon completion of the cooking
cycle, be careful of the flow of hot
air and/or steam coming out of
the cooking chamber. Step back
or to the side to avoid burns. DAN-
GER OF BURNS!
At this point:
• The steam generation is inter-
rupted.
• The cavity walls and the water
tank are still very hot. Danger of
burning!
•
The timer stops and the display
shows the remaining operating
time (if this has been set).
If you wish, at this point you can:
1. Turn or stir the food to ensure it
will be evenly cooked.
2. Change the cooking parameters.
To restart the process, close the
door and press the Start key.
Cancelling a cooking cycle
If you wish to cancel the cooking
process, press the
OFF
key twice.
You will then hear 3 beeps and the
message “ End ” will appear on the
display.
End of a cooking cycle
At the end of the set duration or
when you press the OFF key to
finish the cooking cycle the oven
starts the steam-reduction func-
tion.
This function gradually releases the
steam from the cavity, so that there
is no sudden rush of steam when
the appliance door is opened.
This function takes around 3 min-
utes and during it the display shows
the word “ U AP ” (VAP).
At the end of this process you will
hear three beeps and “
PU P
”
(PUMP) appears on the display.
(You might hear the pumps during
this process, because they will be
pulling the water back into the wa-
ter tank).

The beeps are repeated every 30
seconds until the door is opened or
the OFF key is pressed.
