(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).
! The oven will begin its preheating phase after 2 seconds
from selecting the desired cycle.
!
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.At the beginning of the FAST CLEAN mode,
the cooling fan operates at low speed.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
continues to operate until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
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
icon can be used to switch on the light at any time.
Residual heat indicators
The appliance is fitted 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
keep the SELECTOR knob turned while pressing the
icon for 6 seconds. Once the restore procedure is complete,
a buzzer will sound. The first time the icon is pressed, the
oven will behave as if it is being switched on for the first 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 first
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 (300°C for GRILL mode). 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
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.
BARBECUE 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.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus
guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform
manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking
temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise).
