FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL*

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

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.

MAXI COOKING

For cooking large joints of meat (above 2.5
kg). We recommend turning the meat over during
cooking to ensure that both sides brown evenly. We
also recommend basting the joint every so often to
prevent it from drying out excessively.

PIZZA

For baking different types and sizes of pizza
and bread. It is a good idea to swap the position of
the baking plates halfway through cooking.

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 pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.
