Types of heating mode
Eco:
The fan is particularly suitable
for cooking small quantities of food, as
it provides low energy consumption.
Static:
As the heat comes from the
top and bottom at the same time,
this system is particularly suitable
for certain types of food. Traditional
cooking, also known as static or
thermal radiation cooking, is suitable
for cooking just one dish at a time.
Perfect for all types of roasts, bread
and cakes and for fatty meats such as
goose and duck.
Fan-assisted static:
The operation of the fan,
combined with traditional cooking,
ensures uniform cooking even with
complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits
and cakes, even when simultaneously
cooked on two levels. (For cooking on
two levels, you are advised to use the
2nd and 4th runners.)
Fan-assisted grill:
The air produced by the
fan softens the strong heat wave
generated by the grill, giving perfect
grilling results even with very thick
foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat
(e.g. shin of pork).
Grill:
The heat coming from the grill
element gives perfect grilling results,
especially for thin and medium
thickness meat. Perfect for sausages,
ribs and bacon.
Defrosting:
For defrosting set the
temperature to 30°C, defrosting times
will vary according to quantity. Rapid
defrosting is helped by switching on
the fan and the top heating element
to ensure uniform distribution of lowtemperature air inside the oven.
25
EN
Cooking with the oven
Types of heating mode
Rising:
For rising set the temperature to
40°C, rising times will vary according
to quantity. The rising function, using
the heat coming from the top, makes
it possible to raise all types of dough,
guaranteeing perfect results quickly.
Turn the oven lights off when using
the rising function. Leaving the lights
on will cause the oven temperature to
increase. To check the food turn the
oven lights on briey by pressing
Circular:
The combination of the fan and
the circular element (incorporated in
the rear of the oven) enables different
foods to be cooked on several levels,
as long as they need the same
temperature and cooking time. Hot air
circulation ensures instant and uniform
distribution of heat. It will be possible,
for instance, to cook sh, vegetables
and biscuits simultaneously
(on different levels) without mixing
aromas and avours. (For cooking on
two levels, you are advised to use the
2nd and 4th runners.)
.
Turbo:
The combination of fan-assisted
cooking and traditional cooking enables
different foods to be cooked on several
levels extremely quickly and efciently,
without any transfer of smells and
avours.
Perfect for large volumes that need
intense cooking. (For cooking on two
levels, you are advised to use the 2nd
and 4th runners.)
Fan-assisted bottom:
The combination of the fan with
just the lower heating element allows
cooking to be completed more rapidly.
This system is recommended for
sterilising or for nishing off the cooking
of foods which are already well-cooked
on the surface, but not inside, which
therefore need a little more heat.
Perfect for any type of food.
Rotisserie grill:
The rotisserie functions in
combination with the grill
element allowing to perfectly brown
food. This function enables large
quantities of food, particularly meat, to
be grilled evenly.

Cooking advice and
instructions
General advice
We recommend preheating the oven
before putting the food in. Do not
place foods inside the oven until
on the display stops ashing and
the beep has sounded to conrm that
the programmed temperature has been
reached.
For cooking on several levels, we
recommend using a fan-assisted
function to achieve uniform cooking at
all heights.
In general, it is not possible to shorten
the cooking times by increasing the
temperature (the food could be welldone on the outside and underdone on
the inside).
When cooking desserts or vegetables
an excess of condensation may form
on the glass. To prevent this, open the
door a couple of times during cooking,
taking great care.
Advice for cooking cake and
biscuits
Use dark metal moulds for cakes: they
help to absorb the heat better.
The temperature and the cooking
duration depend on the quality and
consistency of the mixture.
Check whether the cake is cooked right
through: at the end of the cooking time,
insert a metal skewer into the highest
point of the cake then withdraw it. If
the batter does not stick to the metal
skewer, the cake is cooked.
If the cake collapses when it comes out
of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about
10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
Advice for cooking meat
Cooking times, especially for meat,
vary according to the thickness and
quality of the food and to consumer
taste.
We recommend using a meat
thermometer when roasting meat.

EN
Cooking with the oven
Advice for defrosting and rising
We recommend positioning frozen
foods in a lidless container on the rst
runner of the oven.
The food must be defrosted without its
wrapping.
Lay out the foodstuffs in a single layer
to be defrosted evenly, not overlapping.
When defrosting meat, we recommend
using a rack positioned on the second
runner with the food on it and a tray
positioned on the rst runner. In this
way, the liquid from the defrosting food
drains away from the food.
The most delicate parts can be covered
with aluminium foil.
For successful rising, kneaded dough
needs to prove until it has doubled in
size. We recommend using the rising
40°C function for best results. Please
refer to recipes on page 37 EN for
further information.
Advice for cooking with the Grill
and the Fan-assisted grill
Using the Grill function, meat
can be grilled even when it is
put into the oven cold; preheating is
recommended if you wish to change
the effect of the cooking.
With the Fan-assisted
grill function, however, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
If it is set to low power mode (see
page 24 EN, Low power mode), we
recommend that food is only placed in
the centre of the rack.

Pyrolysis: automatic oven
cleaning
Pyrolysis is an automatic hightemperature cleaning procedure which
causes dirt to dissolve. Thanks to this
process, it is possible to clean the
inside of the oven very easily.
Notes
During the rst automatic cleaning
cycle, unpleasant smells may occur
due to the normal evaporation of oily
manufacturing substances. This is
an absolutely normal phenomenon
which disappears after the rst
cleaning cycle.
Before starting the automatic
cleaning cycle, make sure that the
oven does not contain any foods or
large spills from previous cooking
operations.
During the pyrolysis cycle, a door
locking device makes it impossible to
open the door.
Before starting the automatic
cleaning cycle
Pyrolysis may be carried out at any
time of the day or night (if you wish to
benet from the lower cost of electricity
overnight).
Completely remove all accessories
from inside the oven. The roof liner
is not considered an accessory and
must therefore be kept inside the
oven.
Remove the guide frames, see
“page 40 EN, Removing guide
frames”.
WARNING
If the oven is installed underneath a
hob, make sure that the burners or
electric plates remain off during the
automatic cleaning cycle.
During the ‘Pyrolytic’ cleaning cycle
hot air may be exhausted from the
vent above the door.
