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. In the
FAST COOKING mode, the fan is activated automatically after ten minutes.
In the BAKING mode, the cooling fan is only activated when the oven is hot.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues to operate
until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.
Oven light
When the oven is not in operation, the lamp can be switched on at any time
by opening the oven door.
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. Standby mode
is indicated by the high luminosity "Clock button" light. 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.
! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted
manually between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value is indicated as a
percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack
only. if more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
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.
