FUNCTIONS

CONVECTIONAL

To cook on a maximum of two shelves at the

the baking trays halfway through cooking.

tray to collect the cooking juices: Position the tray on

of drinking water.

TURBO GRILL

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a baking tray

preferably using the “Convection bake” function. The
oven must be empty during this time.
