Cooking modes
!
A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be
set for all cooking modes except the following:
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN
mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best
to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is
used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
MULTILEVEL
mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular)
switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat
remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of
two racks may be used at the same time.
PIZZA OVEN
mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the
bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is
activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by
producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly
from the element at the bottom. If you use more than
one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes
halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) come on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food which requires a high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
GRATIN
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) are activated and the fan begins to operate.
This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
provided by the heating elements through forced
circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevent food from burning on the surface and allows
the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook
in this mode with the oven door closed.
BAKING
mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on,
thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate
and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This
mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods
(such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the
preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
Rotisserie*
To activate the rotisserie
function (
see diagram
)
proceed as follows:
1. Place the dripping
pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie
support in position 3
and insert the spit in the
hole provided on the
back panel of the oven.
3. Start the rotisserie
using the knob to select MODES

Practical cooking advice
!
Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
!
In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the
dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking
residues (sauce and/or grease).
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which
requires more heat on the rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
GRILL
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the food
is in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to
maximum. The top heating element is regulated by
a thermostat and may not always operate
constantly.
PIZZA OVEN MODE
• Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on
the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as
this extends the total cooking duration and prevents
the crust from forming.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese to the top of the
pizza halfway through the cooking process.
