Modes
Cooking modes
!
A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be set for all cooking
modes except the following:
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
DEFROST
mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-temperature air around
the food. This mode is suitable for defrosting any type of food, especially
delicate items that should not be heated, for example: ice-cream cakes
or cakes made with custard, cream or fruit. The defrosting time will be
approximately halved. When defrosting meat, fish or bread, the process may
be accelerated by selecting the “multilevel” mode and setting a temperature
between 80°C and 100°C.
TRADITIONAL OVEN
mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this
traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than
one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
BAKING
mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the
distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire
oven. This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as
cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3
shelves simultaneously.
FAST COOKING
mode
The heating elements and the fan are activated, guaranteeing the distribution
of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven.
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly
suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best
results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
MULTILEVEL
mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan
begins to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the
air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may
be used at the same time.
PIZZA OVEN
mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are
switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly
by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element
at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of
the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) come on.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which
requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
GRATIN
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) are activated
and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating
elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right
into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
Practical cooking advice
!
Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-assisted cooking. Excessive
direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
!
In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position
1 to collect cooking residues (sauce and/or grease).
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on the
rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
GRILL
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the food is in the centre of the
rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating
element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate
constantly.
PIZZA OVEN MODE
• Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as this extends the total
cooking duration and prevents the crust from forming.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella
cheese to the top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
