1. The relative cooking zone must be on. The decimal point

(13) on the corresponding display must be lit up.

2. Change the power level using the keys “+” and “-“. If the

level is increased, the new preheating time will be calculated

taking account the time elapsed since the previous setting.

Example: Level 1 is first selected, corresponding to a

preheating time of 1’.

After 30”, the power level is increased to 4, which requires a

preheating time of 6’30”.

After changing the level, the automatic preheating will last a

further 6’ (6’30” – 30”).
