Safety features
Door lock
Once a cooking process using the
microwave has begun, the door will re-
main locked until the end of the pro-
gramme.
You can cancel the door lock by press-
ing the Stop/C touch control. The pro-
gramme will then be interrupted.
Programming lock
The programming lock prevents func-
tions being entered unintentionally.
Safety cut-out
A process using a normal oven opera-
ting mode can be started without pro-
gramming in a time. To prevent over-
use and the consequent danger of fire,
the appliance switches off automati-
cally some time after it was last used.
This can be between 1 hour and 10
hours depending on the operating
mode and temperature chosen.
If the microwave is switched off in be-
tween using two microwave cooking
processes, there will be a delay of
about 30 seconds before the new set-
ting is accepted. Please therefore wait
a short while before starting the second
process.
Energy saving functions
Door contact switch
If the door is opened during a process
using the hot air fan and / or heating
element(s), a contact switch for the
door switches these off automatically. If
the door is opened during a process
which is using only a normal oven oper-
ating mode, the programme will con-
tinue to run again as soon as the door
is shut. If ’Stop/C’ was pressed before
opening the door, then ’Start’ must be
pressed for the programme to continue.
Making use of residual heat
With the Fan Heat (hot air) and Auto
Roast systems the heating shuts off
automatically with the door closed
when the current ambient temperature
is sufficient to finish cooking the food.
Whenever heat is lost, e.g. when the
door is opened, the heating will switch
on again automatically.
“Night time dimming” option
You can programme the appliance so
that the brightness of the display is
dimmed between the hours of 10 pm
and 6 am. (22.00 to 6.00 hours).
Optional oven interior lighting
You can turn off the oven interior light-
ing if you do not want it to remain on
during the entire cooking process. It
will then only light up for approx.
10 seconds after you have pressed the
Enter touch control.
