temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit
a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.

off or when it is switched on, provided that a the end
time of a cooking cycle has not been programmed
previously.
1. Press the button several times until the
icon and the first two digits on the display start to flash.
2. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards "+" and "-" to
adjust the hour value.
3. Press the button again until the other two
digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.
4. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards "+" and "-" to
adjust the minute value.

dropped below a certain level. Programmed cooking
modes which have not started will not be restored
and must be reprogrammed.
