! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and Max, except for
• GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL (recommended: set only to
MAX power level);
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
a
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 in an uneven manner.
u
B AKIN G
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 and cooking temperature sensitive foods
(such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of
pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.
w
PIZZA 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 simultaneously,
switch the position of the dishes halfway through the
cooking process.
b
MULTI-COOKING 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.
d
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is switched on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires a high surface
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of
energy and is ideal for grilling Place the food in the centre
of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in
the corners.
2
DOUBLE GRILL mode
This provides a larger grill than the normal grill setting and
has an innovative design that improves cooking efficiency by
50% and eliminates the cooler corner areas. Use this
grilling mode to achieve a uniform browning on top of the
food.
T
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 .
The GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes
must be performed with the oven door shut.
R otisse r ie *
To operate the rotisserie proceed as
follows:
1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie support in position
4 and insert the spit in the hole provided
on the back panel of the oven ( see
figure ).
3. Activate the rotisserie by selecting

with the
SELECTOR knob.
L o w e r o v en c o m par t m ent
There is a compartment underneath the
oven that may be used to storeoven
accessories or deep dishes. To open the
door pull it downwards ( see figure ).
Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
compartment.
The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.
P ra c ti c a l c ooking a dv i c e
Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
MULTI-COOKING
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food that requires
