It is wise to take special care when you are cooking something for which specific timings have not been recommended This applies particularly when reheating foods Always watch the cooking or heating of the food and give it a short cooking time adding more until you have the required results You will soon learn the correct timings for cooking or heating your favourite foods It is important to remember that it is possible to burn foods if they are cooked for too long but the burning will occur inside the food first and will only become apparent by smell Please remember that the cookbook is only a guide Operation of the Control The oven is operated by touch sensitive control pads on the control panel A digital display can show the cooking time and timer or act as an ordinary digital clock Indicators show which of the cooking functions you have selected An entry signal tone should be heard each time you touch the control panel to programme the oven if you do not hear this sound 1 You have not used enough pressure in touching the pad 2 You have made an incorrect entry In addition to the entry signal tone 4 bleeps will sound at the end of the cooking cycle Make sure the oven is plugged into a power point When the oven is plugged in the display will show flashing on and off Press the power switch and the display will show 00 00 You cannot programme the oven if the door is not closed firmly If the el
