Cooking modes
!
A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 60°C and MAX, except for the
BARBECUE programme, for which only the MAX
power level is recommended.
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.
MULTI-COOKING
mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular),
as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat
remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks
may be used at the same time.
PIZZA
mode
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as
the fan, will come on. This combination heats the
oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of
heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you
use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the
position of the dishes halfway through the cooking
process.
BARBECUE
mode
The top heating element comes on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
GRATIN
mode
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will
come on. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
of the heating elements 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. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door closed.
Cooking modes
BAKING
mode
The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for
baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods
such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare
certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.
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 BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes,
place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect
cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that
requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
BARBECUE
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power
level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.
PIZZA MODE
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan
(prevents crust from forming by extending
cooking time).
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
