Keep-warm mode
∙ Once the cooking time has elapsed, the appliance
automatically switches to Keep warm mode. The food is kept
warm for a maximum of 11 hours at 70 ° C. The red indicator
lamp comes on and the display shows KEEP WARM.
∙ While in stand-by mode, this function can be selected at any
time by pressing the KEEP button.
Thermal safety cut-out
The appliance is fi tted with an overheat safety cut-off protecting
it against overheating (eg when operating it without any food
in). Once the safety cut-out has switched off the appliance, it
must be allowed to cool down suf fi ciently before it is switched
on again.
Power failure
In the case of a short power interruption while a programme
is running, it will resume once power is restored. If the power
failure exceeds 12 minutes, the unit switches to stand-by mode
and must be re-started.
