programme must of course run before any cooking programme can be started.
Example: to defrost food before it is cooked, first with the microwave function and then
with the hot-air function.
1. Programme the defrost function (without pressing )
2. Programme the microwave function (without pressing ).
3. Programme the hot-air function.
4. Press . The display shows the appropriate symbols for the selected programmes.
5 beeps indicate that the entire programme has finished.
Hint: This memory function is especially helpful when using the microwave to cook food
at different power settings. While a higher power setting is selected initially, the power
can be reduced at a later stage in order to keep the food hot, and to ensure that the heat
is evenly distributed when the food is already done.
Timer
The microwave can be pre-programmed in such a way that it starts operating at a pre-
determined time. However, always check first that the time on the unit has been correctly set
prior to using the timer delay function.
1. Set the time (see Setting the clock).
2. Set the desired programme. The unit allows you to set 3 programmes; however, none of
the defrosting programmes can be selected with the timer delay. Do not press the key
yet.
3. Press . The current time is displayed and the hour display flashes.
4. Use the keys and to select the desired hour setting (between 0-23 resp. 1-12) at
which you want the unit to start operating.
5. Press . The minute display flashes.
6. Use the keys and to select the desired minute setting (between 0-59) at which you
want the unit to start operating.
7. Press . The selected programme will start at the pre-programmed time, when 2
acoustic signals will be heard.
