FUNCTIONS

CONVENTIONAL

For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.

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 tray on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of
drinking water.

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.

CONVECTION BAKE

For cooking meat, baking cakes with fillings or
roasting stuffed vegetables on one shelf only. This
function uses gentle, intermittent air circulation to
prevent food from drying out excessively.

6TH SENSE FUNCTIONS

CASSEROLE

This function automatically selects the best
temperature and cooking method for pasta dishes.

MEAT

This function automatically selects the best
temperature and cooking method for meat. This
function intermittently activates the fan at low speed
to prevent the food from drying out too much.

MAXI COOKING

The function automatically selects the best
cooking mode and temperature to cook large joints
of meat (above 2.5 kg). It is advisable to turn the
meat over during cooking, to obtain even browning
on both sides. It is best to baste the meat every now
and again to prevent it from drying out.

EN

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

FAST PREHEATING

For preheating the oven quickly. Once
preheating has finished, the oven will select the
“Conventional” function automatically. Wait for
preheating to finish before placing food in the oven.

TURBO GRILL

For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). 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 500 ml of
drinking water. The turnspit (if provided) can be used
with this function.

ECO FORCED AIR*

For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets
of meat on a single shelf. Food is prevented from
drying out excessively by gentle, intermittent air
circulation. When this ECO function is in use, the
light will remain switched off during cooking. To
use the ECO cycle and therefore optimise power
consumption, the oven door should not be opened
until the food is completely cooked.

KEEP WARM

For keeping just-cooked food hot and crisp.

RISING

For optimal proving of sweet or savoury
dough. To maintain the quality of proving, do not
activate the function if the oven is still hot following
a cooking cycle.

SMART CLEAN

ONLY IN SOME MODELS

The action of the steam released during this
special low-temperature cleaning cycle allows dirt
and food residues to be removed with ease. Pour 200
ml of drinking water on the bottom of the oven and
only activate the function when the oven is cold.

BREAD

This function automatically selects the best
temperature and cooking method for all types of
bread.

PIZZA

This function automatically selects the best
temperature and cooking method for all types of
pizza.

PASTRY CAKES

This function automatically selects the best
temperature and cooking method for all types of
cake.

to confirm.

2. HEAT THE OVEN

A new oven may release odours that have been left
behind during manufacturing: this is completely
normal.
Before starting to cook food, we therefore
recommend heating the oven with it empty in order
to remove any possible odours.

Remove any protective cardboard or transparent film
from the oven and remove any accessories from inside
it.
Heat the oven to 200 °C for around one hour, ideally
using a function with air circulation (e.g. “Forced Air”
or “Convection Bake”).
Follow the instructions for setting the function
correctly.

Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the
appliance for the rst time.
