A cooking function can also be selected and activated while the minuteminder is running; it will continue to count down independently without interfering with the function. During this phase, it is not possible to see the minuteminder directly (only the icon will be displayed), but it continues counting down in the background. To retrieve the minuteminder screen, press ON/OFF to stop the currently active function.

Keylock

To lock the keypad, press and hold the ON/OFF button for at least five seconds. Repeat the process to unlock the keypad. This function can also be activated during cooking. For safety reasons, the oven can be switched off at any time by pressing ON/OFF.

Using the Meat Probe (If Present)

Using the probe enables you to measure the core temperature of the meat during cooking to ensure it reaches the optimum temperature. The oven's temperature varies according to the selected function, but cooking is always programmed to finish once the specified probe temperature has been reached. Once you have inserted the probe, an audible signal is activated, and "Probe Plugged" appears on the display. Select a compatible function (Conventional, Forced Air, Convection Bake, Turbogrill, Eco Forced Air, Maxi Cooking, 6th Sense functions). The display prompts you to set the target temperature of the probe. Press navigation buttons (PLUS/MINUS) to set it, then press CONFIRM to set the following cooking parameters. As cooking is programmed to finish once the required temperature has been reached, it is not possible to set the cooking time or a specific end time. The light will remain switched on until the probe is removed. If the probe is removed during cooking, it will continue in traditional mode (untimed). An audible signal will sound, and the display will indicate when the probe has reached the required temperature.

To change settings subsequently, press navigation buttons (PLUS/MINUS) for the probe temperature or press BACK for other settings. An audible signal and a message will tell you if probe use is not compatible with the action done. If this is the case, remove the probe.

How to Read the Cooking Table

The table lists the best function, accessories, and level to use to cook different types of food. Cooking times start from the moment food is placed in the oven, excluding preheating (where required). Cooking temperatures and times are approximate and depend on the amount of food and the type of accessory used. Use the lowest recommended settings to begin with and, if the food is not cooked enough, then switch to higher settings. Use the accessories supplied and preferably dark-coloured metal cake tins and baking trays. You can also use Pyrex or stoneware pans and accessories, but bear in mind that cooking times will be slightly longer.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Make sure that the oven has cooled down before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use steam cleaners. Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers, or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these could damage the surfaces of the appliance. Wear protective gloves. The oven must be disconnected from the mains before carrying out any kind of maintenance work.

Exterior Surfaces

• Clean the surfaces with a damp microfibre cloth. If they are very dirty, add a few drops of pH-neutral detergent. Finish off with a dry cloth.
• Do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any of these products inadvertently comes into contact with the surfaces of the appliance, clean immediately with a damp microfibre cloth.

Interior Surfaces

• After every use, leave the oven to cool and then clean it, preferably while it is still warm, to remove any deposits or stains caused by food residues.
• To dry any condensation that has formed as a result of cooking foods with a high water content, let the oven cool completely and then wipe it with a cloth or sponge.
• Clean the glass in the door with a suitable liquid detergent.
• The oven door can be removed to facilitate cleaning.
