Cooking modes
Cooking modes
! All cooking modes have a default cooking
temperature which may be adjusted manually
between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value
is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be
adjusted manually.
= TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use
one cooking rack only: if more than one rack is used,
the heat distribution will be uneven.
b MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as
well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains
constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and
browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may
be used at the same time.
2 BARBECUE mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) come on. By turning the THERMOSTAT knob,
the different power levels that may be set will appear
on the display; these range between 50% and 100%.
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food that requires high surface
temperature. Always leave the oven door ajar during
cooking, except when using the turnspit.
T GRATIN 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 of the heating
elements through forced circulation of the air
throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface,
allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food.
Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
w PIZZA mode
The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the
fan come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly
by producing a considerable amount of heat,
particularly from the bottom element. If you use more
than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of
the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
K BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for
baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods
such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare
certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.
v FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently
and uniformly throughout the oven.
Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking
pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The
best results are obtained if you use one cooking
rack only.
U DEFROSTING mode
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the
air circulate at room temperature around the food.
This is recommended for the defrosting of all types
of food, but in particular for delicate types of food
which do not require heat, such as for example: ice
cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit
cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is
approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and
bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using
the multi-cooking mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
V FAST CLEAN mode
This mode cleans the oven automatically and
thoroughly by pyrolysis (see Maintenance and care).
