achieved when preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) 

which need to be cooked slowly and basting or the addition of liquid .It is the best system for baking cakes as well 

as fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven baking .When cooking in convection mode, only use 

one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time for even heat distribution. Use the different rack heights available to 

balance the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the various rack 

heights based on whether

 

the dish needs more or less heat from the top. 

“Fast cooking” Mode     

2561-3005W 

Position the ther

mostat knob “

C”: Between 60

and

 Max

. The top and bottom heating elements, as well as the fan, 

will come on, guaranteeing constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. 

This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), for 

instance, frozen or pre-

cooked food) as well as for a few “home

-

made” dishes

The best results for cooking using the “

Fast cooking” mode are obtained if you use one cooking only (the second 

from the bottom), please see the 

table entitled “Practical Cooking Advice”

Multi-Cooking Mode     

2733-3278W

 

Position the thermostat knob “

C”: Between 60

and

 Max

. The top 

circle and bottom heating elements, as well as 

the fan ,will come on alternately .Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven ,the air cooks 

and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. This model also allows you cook various simultaneously as long 

as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time. 

Please follow the instructions in the “Cooking on More Than One Rack” section

This cooking mode is particularly  recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring 

considerably prolonged cooking times, for instance: lasagna, pasta backs, roast chicken and potatoes, etc. 

Moreover the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This 

results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and less weight loss for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode 

is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with limited amounts of condiments, thus maintaining 

their flavor and appearance. Excellent results can be obtained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like 

courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc. 

Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. 

This mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80

.To 

thaw more delicate foods ,set the thermostat to 60

or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the 

thermostat to 0

.   

Pizza Mode      

3166-3660W 

Position of thermostat kn

ob “

C”: Between 60

and 

250

. The bottom and circle heating elements, as well as the 

fan,  will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to the large amounts of power used by the 

appliance, which results in considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom. 

The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one 

oven tray or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway through the 

cooking process. 

Delicate cooking

Position of thermostat knob “

C”: Between 60

and 

250

. The bottom heating element and the fan come on. Ideal 

for pastries, cakes and non-dry sweets in baking tins or moulds. Excellent results are also obtained in cooking 

requiring above all heat from the bottom. 

You are advised to put the pan on a lower level. 

“Top” oven    

1330-1523W

 

Position of thermostat knob “

C”: Between 60

and

 Max

. The top heating elements comes on .This mode can be 

used to brown food at the end of the cooking duration. 

Grill      

2928-3375W

 

Position of thermostat knob 

C”: Max

. The top central heating elements comes on .The extremely high and direct 

temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to 

keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: 

beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc. 

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice”paragraph.

Fan Assisted Grill    

  2953-3400W

 

Position of thermostat knob “

C”: Be

tween 

60

and

 200

. The top central heating elements and the fan come on. 

This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the heating elements unidirectional thermal radiation 

through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, 

allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and 

vegetables, sausages, ribs lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc. 

Cooking in 

“fan assisted grill mode” with the oven door shut. 

 

This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc. 

Baking Mode

Position of thermostat knob “

C”: Between 60

and

.The rears heating element and the fan come on, 

guaranteeing delicate heat distribution uniformly throughout the oven. 

This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods-especially cakes that need to rise, and for the preparation 

of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savory biscuits, 

savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc. ….

 

Defrosting” Mode

   

  

70-87W 

Position of thermostat knob 

“C”: Any 

The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air circulate at room temperature around the food .This is 

recommended for the defrosting of all types of food ,but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require 

heat ,such as for example :ice cream cakes ,cream or custard desserts ,fruit cakes .By using the fan ,the 

defrosting time is approximately halved .In the case of meat ,fish and bread ,it is possible to accelerate the process 

using the “

Baking” mode and setting the temperature to 80

-100
