Cooking modes

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.

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.

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.

The Rotisserie (only available on certain models)

To operate the rotisserie
(see diagram) proceed as
follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2. Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and insert
the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the
oven.

3. Start the rotisserie using the knob to select MODE

or .

 When

mode is on, the rotisserie will stop if the

door is opened.

20

GB

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan­assisted 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.

Do not use abrasive products.

 All accessories - with the exception of the sliding

racks - can be washed like everyday crockery, and

are even dishwasher safe.
 Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.

Cleaning the oven door

Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

To clean more thoroughly, you can remove the oven
door.

1. Open the oven door fully (see diagram).

2. Lift up and turn the small levers located on the two
hinges (see diagram).

3. Grip the door on the two
external sides and close it
approximately half way. Unlock
the door by pressing on the
clamps F, then pull the door
towards you lifting it out of its
seat (see diagram).
To replace the door, reverse
this sequence.

Inspecting the seals

Check the door seals around the oven periodically. If
the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest
After-sales Service Centre (see Assistance). We
recommend not using the oven until the seals have
been replaced.

Replacing the light bulb

To replace the oven light bulb:

1. Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder.

2. Remove the
light bulb and
replace it with a
similar one:
Wattage 25 W,
cap E 14.

3. Replace the
glass cover (see
diagram).

Sliding Rack Kit assembly

To assemble the sliding racks:

1. Loosen the two
screws A (see diagram).
If the oven is fitted with
self-cleaning panels,
these will have to be
temporarily
disassembled.

2. Replace the screws A with the screws and spacers
(B + C) supplied with the kit.

3. Tighten the new screws B and the corresponding
spacers C, fitting the self-cleaning panels on again.

4. Secure the two joints
D of the guide rail in the
holes provided on the
oven walls (see
diagram). The holes for
the left guide rail are
situated at the top, while
the holes for the right
one are at the bottom.

5. Finally, fit the guide rail on the spacer C.

 Do not place the sliding racks in position 5.
