Ovens

ECO:

The Eco setting is a fast preheat function, which combines broil, fan and lower element to achieve optimum energy efficiency. Only to
be used prior to selecting the main cooking mode.

Pizza function:

The simultaneous operation of these three elements ensures an optimum cooking facility, ideal not only for pizza but also for
cookies, quiches and flans.

Top and bottom heat:

This method is known as “conventional” cooking, and is suitable for dishes that require a more gentle heat, such as baking. The
oven needs to be pre-heated to the required temperature, and is best suited for single items, such as large cakes. Best results are
obtained by placing food in the centre of the oven.

Intensive broil:

This allows rapid cooking and browning of foods. Best results can be obtained from using the top rack for small items, the lower
racks for larger items, such as chops or sausages. Cooking using this method should be carried out with the door closed, unless
instructed to do otherwise.

Bottom heat:

This function is ideal for foods that require extra base temperature without browning, e.g. pastry dishes, pizza. Also suitable for slow
cooking of stews and casseroles.

Broil:

Heat is generated only at the centre of the element, ideal for smaller cuts of meat.

European convection with top and bottom heat:

The use of the fan with both elements allows food to be cooked quickly and effectively on a number of oven racks. Ideal for roasts
that require thorough cooking. There is no transference of smells or flavours when using this function. This function offers a similar
result to rotisserie, it moves the heat around the food, instead of moving the food itself, enabling any size or shape to be cooked, and
not only items that will fit onto a rotisserie.

Convection broil:

Please note: cooking in this mode is conducted with the door closed. The fan reduces the fierce heat from the broiler, providing an
excellent method for broiling a range of foods; chops, steaks, sausages etc. without having to turn the food during cooking. This
gives good results, reduces drying out of foods, and gives even browning and heat distribution, the top two racks being
recommended for use. The lower area of the cavity can also be used to keep other items warm at the same time.

Convection with intensive broil:

The combination of the fan and top element provides more uniform heat penetration. Dishes are lightly browned on the outside and
still moist on the inside. Ideal for au gratin dishes, finishing roasted vegetables.

Defrost:

The circulation of air at room temperature enables quicker thawing of frozen food, (without the use of any heat). Ideal for use prior to
cooking of readymade dishes, or cream filled products etc.

Convection with top and bottom heat:

The elements combined with the fan aim to provide more uniform heat. This is a similar method to conventional cooking, so pre­heat is required. This is not as effective as european convection cooking but can be used to cook biscuits and pastry.

European convection:

The combination of the fan and circular element around it, gives uniform heat distribution with no cold spots. This has benefits - no
preheat if cook time is more than 20 minutes, no flavour transfer when cooking different foods the same time, less energy is
needed, and it cooks at 10% quicker than a normal oven.

European convection with bottom heat:

The addition of the lower element adds extra heat at the base for food which requires extra cooking.

Convection with bottom heat:

This combination quickly completes the cooking of foods that are ready on the surface, but require more cooking inside, without
further browning. Suitable for any type of food.

Microwave:

Penetrating straight into the food, microwaves cook very quickly and with considerable energy savings. Suitable for cooking without
fat, they are also able to thaw and heat food without altering its original appearance and aroma. The microwave function can also be
combined with conventional functions with all the resulting advantages. Ideal for all types of food.

Microwave + broil element:

To achieve a combined cooking with broil that cooks the outside whilst assuring an internal cooking thanks to the microwave
function.

Microwave + circulaire:

To achieve a combined cooking with ventilated heat that cooks in short time thanks to the rotation of the warm air and the microwave.

Circulaire element with steam:

The combination of Circulaire element with steam allows food to be effectively cooked in the most natural way, leaving all the foods properties,
flavour and aroma intact.

Rotisserie with broil:

The rotisserie (where installed) works in combination with the broil element to brown foods to perfection.

Circulaire with upper element:

The addittion of the upper element adds extra heat at the top of the oven, where extra browning is required.
