USING THE OVEN 4. 1 Precautions and General Advice When the oven is used for the first time, it should be heated to the maximum temperature for long enough to burn off any oily residues left by the manufacturing process. If you have to carry out any procedures on foods, leave the door open for as short a time as possible to ensure the temperautre inside the oven does not drop far enough to impair cooking results. 4. 2 Setting the time At first use, or after a power failure, the current time must be set. The display will show the flashing numbers . To set the current time, hold down START + STOP together until the display stops flashing. 25 Instructions for the User Press START to confirm the start of the program. The program starts, performing the preheating stage; the display shows "PrEh". When the preheating is complete, a "BEEP" sounds to indicate that cooking can start, and the message "PrEh" flashes on the display. Keep START pressed for a few seconds to start cooking; another BEEP sounds to signal the switch from preheating to cooking. (If START is not pressed after the beep, the temperature is held constant for about 10 minutes, after which it will start to drop for a period up to a maximum time of 20 minutes, counted from when the beep sounded. ­ although this is not recommended in terms of cooking quality, the program can be started even before the preheating temperature is reached by keeping START pressed for a few seconds. During cooking, the display shows the time left until the end of the cooking process, the temperature set and the number of the program being used, in alternation. During the last minute of cooking, the display will only show the countdown from 60 to zero seconds (end of cooking time). When all the cooking time has passed, a BEEP and the flashing message "End" will indicate that cooking is over. Once a cooking operation has finished, the user can extend the cooking time exactly as required in manual mode, as follows. Press START; the display will show "tp00".
