2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• “EASY COOK” FUNCTION N.B.: No preheating is required to use the ICS function. Cooking ABSOLUTELY must begin in a cool oven. It is useful to wait for your oven to cool down completely before starting a second cooking programme, if not, it will start beeping to indicate that the oven is hot. IMPORTANT: Do not open the door during this phase or you may disturb the recording of data. This data search phase is symbolised by rotating arrows.

2) a second cooking phase: The oven has

determined the time required and displays it, along with the cooking end time. The remaining cooking time indicated takes into account the cooking time from the first phase. You can now open the door (e.g. to baste a roast). - The oven turns itself off when the cooking time has ended. DELAYED START FUNCTION: To program a delayed start, - Press the button until the indicator starts flashing and change the hour for the cooking end time. PLEASE NOTE: If you want to programme a subsequent EASY COOK cooking cycle, wait until the oven has cooled completely. However, you can use the “Manual” function even if the oven is hot.
