•   Use the Up and Down buttons to set
    the length of time you want to cook
    for.(3) This must be done within 5

FULLY AUTOMATIC COOKING (EX-
AMPLE)
This programming method is best suited
for when a delayed start time is required.
Unlike the semi automatic methods this
requires both the duration and the end
time to be entered. The timer will work
out the start time and begin cooking.
•   Press the function button twice to
    select the length of time your food
    will need. (7)
•   The ‘A’ on the left hand side will flash
    and the ‘dur’ message will flash up.
    (8)
•   Using the Up and Down buttons set
    the time you require within 5 seconds
    of the ‘dur’ message. (9)
•   Press the function button three times
    until the ‘A’ flashes again and the
    ‘End’ messages appears. (10) & (11)
•   Using the Up and Down buttons, set
    the time you would like the oven to
    switch off. (12)
•   Set the temperature of the oven and
    place the food inside.
While the automatic function is running,
the ‘A’ will appear statically on the display,
with the time.
Try to keep the end time as close to when
you expect to return, this will prevent
cooked food from being left standing in a
warm oven.
The timer will calculate the appropriate
start time.
To switch off the alarm, press any button.
