8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN
The ECO symbol indicates which function gives the least energy consumption.
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. This symbol also includes the cleaning function, see
“9.6 VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)”.
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.
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. We recommend
using the 4
th
runner.
FAN-ASSISTED BOTTOM:
The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking to be
completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off
the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside,
which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for any type of food.
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.
