Base heat
The heat coming just from the
bottom allows you to complete the
cooking of foods that require a
higher bottom temperature, without
affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
Supercook
The combination of fan-assisted
cooking and traditional cooking
allows different foods to be cooked
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense
cooking.
ECO (energy-saving cooking)
(on some models only)
This low energy consumption
function is particularly suitable for
cooking on a single shelf.
Ideal when cooking meat, fish and
vegetables. It is not recommended
for foods that require proving.
For greater energy savings and to
reduce the time required, it is
recommended to put foods in the
oven cavity without preheating it.
When using the ECO function,
avoid opening the oven door
during cooking.
When using the ECO function,
cooking times (and pre-heating, if
used) are longer.
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
uniform cooking even with complex
recipes. Perfect for biscuits and
cakes, even when simultaneously
cooked on several levels. (For
multiple-level cooking, we
recommend using the 2
nd
and 4
th
shelves.)
Defrost
Rapid defrosting is helped by
switching on the fan provided and
the top heating element that ensure
uniform distribution of low
temperature air inside the oven.
Fan 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).
Fan forced
The combination of the fan and the
circular element (incorporated in the
rear of the oven) allows you 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.
