Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level);
TRADITIONAL OVEN
mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on.
With 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.
PASTRY
mode
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise because the heat coming
from the bottom helps the leavening process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of time
for the higher temperatures to be reached, therefore we
recommend you use the “TRADITIONAL OVEN” in these
cases.
TOP OVEN mode
The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used
to brown food at the end of cooking.
/ GRILL mode
The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and
direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown
the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices
to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended
for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface:
such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers
etc... Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with
the oven door closed.
Rotisserie spit*
To operate 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 MODE ;
Practical cooking advice
!
Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
! In the GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping pan in
position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
