FUNCTIONS

EN

MY MENU

These allow a fully automatic cooking for all
types of food (Lasagna, Meat, Fish, Vegetables, Cakes
& Pastries, Salty cakes, Bread, Pizza). To use at best
this function, follow the indications on the relative
cooking table.

MANUAL FUNCTIONS

• FORCED AIR

For cooking different foods that require the same
cooking temperature on several shelves (maximum
three) at the same time. This function can be used
to cook different foods without odours being
transferred from one food to another.

• CONVECT BAKE

For cooking meat, baking cakes with fillings on one
shelf only.

• MULTIFLOW MENU

For cooking different foods that require the same
cooking temperature on four levels at the same time.
This function can be used to cook cookies, cakes,
round pizzas (also frozen) and to prepare a complete
meal. Follow the cooking table to obtain the best
results.

• GRILL FUNCTIONS

» GRILL

For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking
vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling
meat, we recommend using a drip tray to collect the
cooking juices: Position the tray on any of the levels
below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.

» TURBO GRILL

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast beef,
chicken). We recommend using a drip tray to collect
the cooking juices: Position the pan on any of
the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of
drinking water.

• MY FROZEN FOOD

The function automatically selects the ideal cooking
temperature and mode for 5 different types of ready
frozen food. The oven does not have to be preheated.

• SPECIALS

» DEFROSTING

To speed up defrosting of food. Place food on the
middle shelf. Leave food in its packaging to prevent it
from drying out on the outside.

» KEEP WARM

For keeping just-cooked food hot and crisp.

» RISING

For optimal proving of sweet or savoury dough. To
maintain the quality of proving, do not activate the
function if the oven is still hot following a cooking
cycle.

» MAXI COOKING

For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). It
is advisable to turn the meat over during cooking,
to obtain even browning on both sides. It is best to
baste the meat every now and again to prevent it
from drying out.

» ECO FORCED AIR

For cooking stuffed roasting joints and filletsof meat
on a single shelf. Food is prevented from drying out
excessively by gentle, intermittent air circulation.
When this ECO function is in use, the light will remain
switched off during cooking. To use the ECO cycle
and therefore optimise power consumption, the
oven door should not be opened until the food is
completely cooked.

» SLOW COOKING

To gently cook meat and sh. This function cooks food
slowly to keep it tender and succulent. Due to the low
temperature, the food does not brown on the outside
and the end result is similar to steam cooking. We
recommend searing roast meat in a pan rst to brown
the meat and help seal in its natural juices. For best
results, keep the oven door closed during cooking
in order to avoid heat dispersion.Suggested cooking
times ranges for sh (300 g - 3 kg) are between 2-5
hours, for meat (1-3 kg) between 4-7 hours.

• FAST PREHEAT

For preheating the oven quickly.

FORCED AIR + STEAM

Combining the properties of steam with those
of the forced air, this function allows you to cook
dishes pleasantly crispy and browned outside, but
at the same time tender and succulent inside. To
achieve the best cooking results, we recommend to
select a HIGH steam level for fish cooking, MEDIUM
for meat and LOW for bread and desserts.

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

MY FAVORITES

For retrieving up the list of 10 favorite functions.

CLEANING

cycle of cleaning by means of a low temperature,

water on the bottom of the cavity and activate the
function when the oven is cold.

no residual water.
