• 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 foods which have been vacuum-packed 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).

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.

ECO ECO

ECO 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

energy saving mode is recommended for small

dishes, ideal for heating foods and finishing off

cooking.

or not. The cooking duration can be customised

according to personal taste by modifying the relevant

value - before cooking begins - by ±5/20 minutes

depending on the selected programme. The duration

can however be modified even once cooking has

begun. If the value is modified before the programme

begins, it is stored in the memory and suggested

again by the appliance when the programme is next

used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than

the suggested value for the selected mode, the text

“OVEN TOO HOT” appears on the display and it will

not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to

cool.

The icon representing the selected mode and the

icon representing the recommended shelf position

appear on the display alternately.

! When the cooking stage has been reached, the

oven buzzer sounds.

! Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the

cooking time and temperature.
