  • the elements 8 and 10 are activated cyclically, with the pauses of de-activation of the element 8 (“CIRCULAR") that have a duration longer than the pauses of de-activation of the element 10 (“GRILL").
  • the pauses of de-activation of the element 8 have, in the third step, a duration longer than in the second step; on the other hand, in the third step, the de-activation pauses of the element 10 have a duration shorter than in the second step.
  • the elements 8 and 10 are cyclically activated, with the pauses of de-activation of the element 8 (“CIRCULAR") that have a duration longer than the pauses of de-activation of the element 10 (“GRILL").
  • the pauses of de-activation of the element 8 have, in the fourth step, a duration longer than in the third step; on the other hand, in the fourth step, the pauses of de-activation of the element 10 have a duration shorter than in the third step.
  • the fan 7 is inactive in the first cooking step and is then brought to the speed "1" in the second cooking step, to the speed "2" in the third cooking step, and to the speed "6” in the fourth cooking step.
  • the fan 6 (“CAVITY FAN”) is preferably active at its maximum speed, or in any case at a speed that is indicatively comprised between 1200 and 1350 r.p.m.
  • the program L may further comprise a final heat-recovery step.
  • the heating elements are inactive so as to obtain a natural drop in temperature in the cavity CC.
  • the recovery step has a fixed duration, here of 5 minutes.
  • the extraction fan 7 is preferably active, at the speed "6". Also the fan 6 is preferably active.
  • the program L has a total duration of approximately 60 minutes.
  • the modes of selection of the automatic programs are simple and intuitive, virtually eliminating any risk of errors of setting, at the same time preventing the possibility of the user inadvertently modifying the pre-set temperature profile for that program and/or its duration.
