CHAPTER 4: MANUAL MODE

4.3 QUICK REHEAT

This function is very useful for reheating small quantities of food and drink, or for quickly adding a
few minutes on when cooking has been completed.
• Press the START key: the oven will come on at full power for 30''. If you continue to press the
key in rapid sequence, the time will increase by 30'' each time up to a maximum of 3 minutes.
• This sequence only works if it is performed within 1 minute of the food being placed in the oven.

4.4 MEMOTIME FUNCTION

This function allows the timer to be used with the oven OFF for up to 99 minutes, for example, as
a useful egg timer.
• Place the FUNCTIONS SELECTOR (10) in the MEMOTIME position. Set the time required and
begin timing with the START button (6).
• At five minutes and one minute from the end of the set time, you will hear a beep.
• At the end you will hear three beeps and the word END will be displayed.

4.5 CHILD SAFETY DEVICE

The oven is fitted with a safety device which prevents the set cooking times from being tampered
with while cooking is underway. This avoids the time from being accidentally and dangerously
prolonged (the food might burn!).
To turn the safety device on:
• Keep the STOP/CLEAR (5) button pressed for five seconds.
• You will hear a short beep. The times can no longer be corrected during cooking.
• To turn the safety device off, keep the STOP/CLEAR button pressed until you hear a beep.
4.6 DEFROSTING: ADVICE, TIPS AND TABLE
• Frozen food in bags, plastic film or packs can be placed directly into the oven providing there
are no metal parts (for example, band or staples).
• Certain foods such as vegetables and fish do not require defrosting completely before starting
cooking.
• Foods with a high water content such as meat sauces or stews defrost better and faster if stirred
several times, turned over and/or separated.
• During defrosting, meat, fish and fruit lose liquid. Defrost in a tray.
• Before freezing, you are recommended to divide pieces of meat and place the in individual
plastic bags. This will save valuable preparation time.
• Immediately after defrosting, standing times must be respected before cooking. The standing
time is the time (in minutes) the food must be left to stand to improve heat distribution within the
food itself.
