6. FRONT PANEL
All the controls and indicator lights can be seen on the front panel. The tables
below describe the symbols used.
TIMER KNOB
This knob enables manual cooking or the
timer to be selected; the timer switches off the
oven automatically at the end of cooking. If no
cooking time is selected, the timer knob
must be positioned on .
To set the cooking time, turn the knob clockwise until it reaches the “90” position
and then set the desired cooking time. The numbers from 5 to 90 correspond to
minutes. Adjustment is progressive so that the time can also be set to any
intermediate value between these numbers. At the end of the programmed
cooking time, a buzzer will sound and switch off automatically after 4-5 seconds.
THERMOSTAT KNOB
The cooking temperature is selected by
turning the knob clockwise to the desired
setting, between 50°C and 250°C.
This knob also enables the temperature to be
selected for Vapor Clean (on some models
only).
THERMOSTAT INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
When this is flashing, it indicates that the oven is heating up to the
temperature set using the thermostat knob. Once the oven has
reached the selected temperature, the light stops flashing and
remains steady until the oven switches off.
In some models, the light switches on when the automatic cleaning cycle
(pyrolysis) starts and remains lit until the cycle is complete.
