c) Function details of the multifunction oven TQ 380 I TurboCooKING®
Position 1 : Convection
The heat comes from the rear heating element integrated to the ventilation sys-
tem. It is uniformly distributed around the oven by the fan. It is precisely thermo-
stat-regulated.
The continuous hot air flow allows quick uniform cooking while preserving the
flavour and appearance of the food.
Several different dishes of the same kind can be cooked simultaneously.
Position 2 : Ventilated pastry oven
The bottom heating element works at full capacity on a continuous basis. It is
not thermostat-regulated. This is the ideal setting for cooking savoury or sweet
tarts and pies or bread, or to start off cooking cakes that need to rise.
The fan distributes the heat evenly.
The infrared quartz tubes on the top part can be used at the end of cooking, to
brown, glaze or crystallize or crisp.
Position 3: Turbo Quartz
®
The bottom and the quartz tubes on the top part function simultaneously and
are thermostat-regulated.
Ventilation provides better distribution of temperature as well as higher accura-
cy of regulation.
The Turbo Quartz® technology, enables the oven to reach a temperature of
270°C in less than 5 minutes. It increases the inside temperature of 30°C and
thus saving 30% cooking time.
The taste and nutritional qualities of the food is retained with this method of
cooking.
Position 4: Grill / Roasting jack
The quartz tubes function and are thermostat-regulated. The temperature con-
trol should be turned to setting 10.
Ventilation provides better distribution of temperature as well as higher accura-
cy of regulation.
The extra-high temperature of the tubes requires cooking in open air. It is
therefore advisable to leave the door half-open.
You can use the roasting jack to roast all sorts of poultry.
When grilling the food should be placed as near as to the quartz tubes as possi-
ble without touching them.
