protective substances used during the manufacturing
process burning away.

hold the + and
numbers on the display rapidly.

7. If a blackout occurs while the oven is already in
operation, an automatic system within the appliance
will reactivate the cooking mode from the point at
which it was interrupted, provided that the
temperature has not dropped below a certain level.
Programmed cooking modes which have not yet
started will not be restored and must be
reprogrammed (for example: a cooking mode has
been programmed to start at 20:30. At 19:30 a
blackout occurs. When the power supply is restored,
the mode will have to be reprogrammed).

! There is no preheating stage for the GRILL mode.
! Never put objects directly on the bottom of the

oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being
damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

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, as well as towards
the bottom of the oven door.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
continues to operate until the oven has cooled down
sufficiently.
