Cooking modes
!
A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes
between 60°C and Max, except for the following
modes
• TOP OVEN and 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 in an
uneven manner.
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.
TOP OVEN
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
small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the
rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed
in the corners.
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
small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the
rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed
in the corners.
GRATIN
mode
The top heating element and the fan will begin 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 TOP OVEN, GRILL and GRATIN cooking
modes must be performed with the oven door shut.
!
When using the TOP OVEN and GRILL cooking
modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease). When using the GRATIN cooking
mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the
dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking
residues.
Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the
MULTILEVEL cooking mode, as this is the only
cooking mode suited to this type of cooking. We
also recommend that:
• Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because
excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
• Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that
requires more heat is placed on the rack in
position 2.
• When cooking foods that require different cooking
times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
halfway between the two recommended
temperatures (
see Oven cooking advice table)
and place the more delicate food on the rack in
position 4. Remove the food that requires a
shorter cooking time first.
• When cooking pizzas on several racks with the
temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated
for 15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on
the rack in position 4 takes longer: we
recommend that the pizza cooked on the lowest
rack position is removed first, followed by the
pizza cooked in position 4 a few minutes later.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
After selecting any of the oven programs, the parame-
ter setting of the product is activated. It optimizes the
performance of cooking, but could result in a delayed
ignition of fan and heating elements.
