8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
STATIC :
As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is particularly
suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also known as static or thermal
radiation cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. Perfect for all types
of roasts, bread and cakes and in any case particularly suitable for fatty meats such
as goose and duck.
BOTTOM:
The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that
require a higher bottom temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
ROTISSERIE GRILL :
The rotisserie works in combination with the grill element, allowing to perfectly brown
food.
GRILL:
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin
and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present)
gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking.
Perfect for sausages, ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food,
particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill,
grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of
pork). We recommend using the 4
th
runner.
The rotisserie works in combination with the grill element, allowing to perfectly brown
food.
TURBO :
The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows to cook
different foods on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For
multiple-level cooking, we recommend using the 2
nd
and 4
th
runners.)
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the
oven) allows to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperatures and same type of cooking. Hot air circulation ensures instant and
uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables
and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing odours and flavours.
DEFROSTING :
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of air
inside the oven. (We recommend using the 1
st
or 2
nd
runner).
