Setting Temperature and Time
Use the rotary knobs to set the desired temperature and cooking time. The digital display will show the current settings. The oven requires a set cooking time, even for preheating. The oven will automatically turn off once the set time is reached.
Preheating
For best results, preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing food inside. The oven heats up quickly. There is no specific indicator for when the target temperature is reached, so allow sufficient time based on the recipe.
Cooling Fan
The integrated Cooling Fan system ensures optimal cooling of the oven during and after cooking. This fan may continue to operate for a period after the oven is turned off to dissipate residual heat.
Oven Door
The oven features a quadruple-glazed door designed to keep the exterior surface cooler and prevent heat loss. While the outer glass remains cooler than traditional oven doors, it may still be warm to the touch during operation. The oven will stop heating if the door is opened during cooking.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Pyrolytic Cleaning
The Pyrolysis function uses high temperatures to decompose food residues into ash, which can then be easily wiped away once the oven has cooled. Follow the specific instructions in the oven's display for initiating a pyrolytic cycle.
Steam EasyClean
For lighter cleaning, the Steam EasyClean function uses steam to loosen dirt and grease, making manual cleaning easier. Consult the oven's display or dedicated section in the full manual for detailed steps.
