Oven controls
In addition to operating the various
cooking functions for baking, roasting
and grilling, the oven controls are also
used to operate
– the time of day display,
– a minute minder,
– a timer to automatically switch
cooking programmes on and off,
– settings that can be customised.
Safety features
System lock
0
The system lock prevents the oven from
being used unintentionally (see "System
lock
0
").
The system lock will remain activated
even after an interruption to the power
supply.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan will come on
automatically when a cooking
programme is started. The cooling fan
mixes hot air from the oven cavity with
cool room air before venting it out into
the kitchen through vents located
between the appliance door and the
control panel.
The cooling fan will continue to run for a
while after a cooking process to
prevent moisture building up in the
oven, on the control panel or on the
oven housing unit. It will switch itself off
automatically after a while.
Safety switch-off
A function
without microwave
can be
started without selecting a cooking
duration. To prevent over-use and the
consequent danger of fire, the oven will
switch itself off automatically after a
certain length of time. This can be
between 1 hour and 12 hours
depending on the function and
temperature chosen.
If a
combination programme
is
followed in quick succession by
another programme using microwave
power, the magnetron (which produces
the microwaves) cannot be switched on
again until approx. 10 seconds have
elapsed. Therefore wait a short while
before starting the second process.
