Cooking modes
! A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can
be set for all cooking modes except the following:
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
DEFROST mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room-
temperature air around the food. This mode is
suitable for defrosting any type of food, especially
delicate items that should not be heated, for
example: ice-cream cakes or cakes made with
custard, cream or fruit. The defrosting time will be
approximately halved. When defrosting meat, fish or
bread, the process may be accelerated by selecting
the “multilevel” mode and setting a temperature
between 80°C and 100°C.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is
best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one
rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched
on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a
delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire
oven. This mode is ideal for baking temperature
sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise)
and for the preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3
shelves simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan are activated,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and
uniformly throughout the oven.
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode.
This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-
packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best
results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular)
switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the
heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air
cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A
maximum of two racks may be used at the same
time.
PIZZA OVEN mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at
the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan
is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly
by producing a considerable amount of heat,
particularly from the element at the bottom. If you
use more than one rack at a time, switch the position
of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) come on. The high and direct temperature
of the grill is recommended for food which requires a
high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode
with the oven door closed.
FAN GRILLING 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 provided by the
heating elements through forced circulation of the air
throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from
burning on the surface and allows 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.
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
! When using the GRILL and GRATIN modes, place
the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking
residues (sauces and/or fats).
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which
requires more heat on the rack in position 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
