3. When the oven reaches 180ºC, the audible
signal will sound and the oven will display
180ºC. Place food in the oven, enter the
desired cooking time and press the
START/AUTO MINUTE key.
NOTES:
• When the oven reaches the desired
temperature, the audible signal will sound and
the temperature will be displayed in ºC.
Do not press the STOP/CLEAR key after
opening and closing the door, as this will
cancel the Convection mode.
• The preheated temperature will be maintained
for approximately 30 minutes.
After this time, preheat will be cancelled.
• During preheating and convection cooking, you
will hear the cooling fan cycling on and off.
This is completely normal and will not affect
the cooking.
• You can check the actual temperature during
preheating by pressing the CONV. (ºC) key.
The temperature will appear on the display.
This will not affect the oven operation.
• If you prefer not to preheat the oven where
recommended in the cookbook section, allow
extra cooking time.
Your oven can be preheated to a
desired temperature prior to
convection cooking.
