HIGH BAKE
The HIGH BAKE mode uses the oven fan to circulate air with heat from the lower oven element.
Quick and consistent heat is evenly distributed throughout the oven.
The results are quick, not unlike a microwave oven. With the circulation of heat, foods cooked
with high bake mode retain a crisp, dry texture on the outside especially pizza, pastries, and other
foods where you want the base to be well cooked. HIGH BAKE is also excellent for re-heating.
1- Adjust oven shelves to desired position/s.
2- Select HIGH BAKE mode.
3- Set the oven to the desired temperature.
4- When cooking is complete, turn the oven off.
PIZZA
This function is excellent as the fastest setting to preheat the oven, engaging maximum power to
heat the oven to a selected temperature before selecting an appropriate function and temperature
for a task.
In this position, the fan and the fan element, together with the bottom oven element, are engaged
simultaneously. This is used for food that requires a concentration of cooking to the base, and
allows the top to gently cook at the same time.
We recommend this function for best results for pizza and similar items.

INDUCTION COOKTOP
Induction cooking is a radical change on the traditional way of cooking. The heat is generated
directly in the cooking vessel (pot or pan), instead of being generated in the cooking surface and
then transferred to the cooking vessel. For this reason it presents many advantages when
compared to other cooking methods.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the cooktop
surface as they can get hot.
High speed cooking and frying: The efficiency is greater than other systems because there is
no heat loss as you are warming the cookware directly and not the cooking surface.
It is economic: It is proven that cooking with an induction hot plate dramatically reduces
electrical consumption in comparison with other cooking methods.
Cooking and security control: As soon as the cooktop is turned on, it produces or suspends the
electrical output. If cookware is removed without previously switching off the
cooktop, it will automatically stop the output of heat. If any combustible material,
i.e. a rag, is left on the cooktop, it will not burn even if the cooking area is active.
This is because after using the cooktop, the glass surface retains only the
remaining heat transmitted by the cookware.
