OVEN FUNCTION
(the symbols in the oven indicated for which functions it is set up for)
Oven light
The oven light can be turned on independently at any time in the case of models
with this symbol. The light stays on also with other functions. For the models
without this symbol, the light turns on for each oven function selection.
Traditional static cooking
With the simultaneous heat distribution coming from above and below, this
function is for baking food that requires slow cooking with the constant addition of
liquids. Ideal for any type of roast, bread, cakes and biscuits in general. Use only
one shelf for this type of cooking. Otherwise the temperature will not be distributed
properly.
Upper cooking
This function activates the heat element at the top. The intense heat diffused from
above is excellent for finishing off the baking of food that is cooked on the inside
but not entirely on the surface.
Lower cooking
In this case the bottom heating element starts working. Unlike cooking with the
upper cooking method, this function is recommended for perfecting the cooking of
dishes that are already cooked on the surface but require further cooking in the
centre. The intense heat from below is excellent for roasting meat which is not so
tender.
Intensive cooking
The activation of the top and bottom heat elements together with the fan ensures
even distribution of the intense heat produced. The hot air circulating inside the
oven evenly cooks and browns different dishes, on one or more levels, that require
similar temperatures. In meat roasts the optimisation of heat distribution allows
cooking at lower temperatures reducing the dispersion of sauces. This helps keep
the meat more tender and reduces the decrease in weight.
Slow cooking
This function combines the lower heat element and the fan. This is best for baking
delicate food such as cakes needing rising which is facilitated by heat coming from
below. Just like the lower heat cooking method, slow cooking can be used to finish
baking dishes already browned on the surface but not yet ready on the inside.
Pizza function
This is the most powerful function. Both the lower element and the circular
element at the back of the oven work at the same time, with forced ventilation of
air inside. In this way you have a
