CONVENTIONAL mode
When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best
to use one cooking rack only. Recommended for
slow cooking, or cooking with a bain-marie. When
using a bain-marie, the water should be poured
directly into the dripping pan.
ROASTING mode
The top and circular heating elements switch on and
the fan begins to operate. This combination of
features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the
heating elements through the 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.
PROVING mode
The circular heating element will come on and the
fan will operate during the preheating stage only.
The oven temperature is ideal for activating the
rising process. Always cook in this mode with the
oven door closed.
PASTRIES mode
The parameters used make this cooking mode ideal
for desserts containing natural yeast.
TARTS mode
The parameters used make this cooking mode ideal
for all tart recipes.
DESSERTS mode
This cooking mode is suitable for all baked desserts
which do not fall into the PASTRIES or TARTS
category (for example, small choux pastries, sponge
cake, etc...).
WHITE/BROWN MERINGUE mode
The default temperatures cannot be modified.
The WHITE MERINGUE cooking mode is ideal for
drying meringues. The BROWN MERINGUE cooking
mode is ideal for browning meringues.
DEFROSTING 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.
LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking mode, used for years by
industry professionals, enables food (meat, fish, fruit
and vegetables) to be cooked at very low
temperatures (85, 95 and 120°C), thereby
guaranteeing a perfect level of cooking and
enhancing the taste as much as possible.
The value of these advantages should not be
underestimated:
 as the cooking temperatures are very low (in
general they are lower than the temperature
required for evaporation), the dispersion of
cooking sauces due to evaporation is
substantially reduced and the food becomes
softer;
 when cooking meat, the muscle fibres contract
less than they would during a classic cooking
cycle. The result is a more tender meat which
does not need to be rested after it is cooked.
Meat should be browned before it is placed in the
oven.
Cooking vacuum-packed foods at low
temperatures, a technique used for over 30 years
by the most prestigious chefs, brings many
advantages:
 culinary: flavours are concentrated and the taste,
softness and tenderness of the food are
maintained;
 hygienic: provided that hygiene regulations are
respected, this type of cooking protects the food
from the harmful effects of oxygen, thus ensuring
that the dishes may be stored for longer in the
refrigerator;
 organisational: thanks to the longer storage
period, dishes may be prepared well in advance.
 diet-related: this type of cooking limits the amount
of fatty substances used and therefore means
that the food is lighter and easier to digest;
 financial: the food shrinks less so there is more of
the product left after it has been cooked.
To use this technique, you must use a vacuum-
packing machine and the appropriate bags. Follow
the instructions supplied relating to vacuum-packing
food carefully.
The vacuum-packing technique may also be used
for raw products (fruit, vegetables, etc.) as well as
pre-cooked products (traditional cooking).
PASTEURISATION mode
This cooking mode is suitable for fruit, vegetables,
etc...
Small containers may be positioned on 2 levels
(dripping pan on the 1st shelf and rack on the 3rd
shelf). Let the containers cool inside the oven. Place
