Preheating
PREHEATING ensures that the oven chamber is
thoroughly heated.
If the oven is cold, 2 - 5 minutes’ preheating is
recommended (models 2.10 and 2.14 require 15
minutes’ preheating)
If the oven is hot, 0 – 2 minutes’ preheating is
recommended.
Preheating at a temperature which is approx. 50°C
higher than the desired working temperature is
recommended.
NOTE: When the oven door is opened for loading, the
oven chamber loses 30-50% of the heat.
PREHEATING can be set at 0 – 15 minutes
.
Note that the countdown does not start until the
selected oven temperature is reached.
Cooling
Cooling is used if you need the oven chamber to be
cooler, for instance, when you switch from roasting to
steaming or if you are about to clean the oven.
Cooling is activated in either of the following ways:
a) Oven door closed. Water is used to speed up the
cooling process. Alarm sounds when the
temperature is reached.
b) Oven door open. Fan wheel draws in air to speed
up the cooling process. Programme stops when the
temperature is reached.
It is recommended to set the cooling mode at 20°C
below the desired working temperature.
