Programmed cooking modes which have not started will
not be restored and must be reprogrammed.

! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the oven; this
will avoid the enamel coating being damaged.

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. At the beginning of the AUTOMATIC
CLEANING cycle, the cooling fan operates at low speed.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan continues
to operate until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

on at any time by opening the oven door.

Cooking modes

! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature
which may be adjusted manually between 40°C and 250°C
as desired.
In the GRILL mode, the default power level value is indicated
as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually.
TRADITIONAL 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.
GRILL mode
By turning the THERMOSTAT knob, the different power
levels which may be set will appear on the display; these
range between 50% and 100%. The high and direct
temperature of the grill is recommended for food which
requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door closed.
