Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking

modes between 60°C and Max, except for

 BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power

level);

 GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

LEAVENING mode

The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of 40°C irrespective of the position of the THERMOSTAT knob. This mode is ideal for leavening dough made with yeast.

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only: if more than one rack is used, the heat distribution will be uneven.

BAKING mode

The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.

PIZZA mode

The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the fan come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BARBECUE mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) come on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element as well as the fan and the rotisserie (where present) come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

FAST COOKING mode

The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack only.

MULTI-COOKING mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-

assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

 Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires

more heat on 2.

 Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack

on top.

BARBECUE

 Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in

the centre of the rack.

 We recommend that you set the maximum power

level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.

PIZZA MODE

 Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the

rack provided. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time).

 If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend

adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
