Usage Features:
The oven offers a variety of cooking modes and user-friendly features:
- Light: Turns on the oven light, useful for cleaning or monitoring food.
- Defrost: Uses the fan only to distribute air, allowing food to defrost quickly without protein alteration.
- Convection: Activates the top and lower heating elements for natural conduction. Ideal for keeping foods moist, low and slow cooking, roasts, cakes, casseroles, and ribs.
- Fan Forced: Operates both the fan and rear element for multi-layer cooking, roasting, and baking (cookies, meringues, pastries).
- Grill: Perfect for grilling and gratin. Must be used with the oven door half-open and control protection in position. Recommended temperature is a minimum of 210°C, using the top 3 shelf positions.
- Fan Grill: Utilizes the rear fan and full grill simultaneously for even heat distribution. Recommended temperature is a minimum of 210°C, using the top 3 shelf positions. Food should be placed on the grill inset rack to allow air circulation. No need to rotate food when used properly. Ideal for grilling meat, chicken, fish, and sausages.
- Bottom Element with Fan: Uses the bottom element and rear fan for a crunchy base. Best for pizza (fresh and frozen), quiche, etc., using the bottom 3 shelf positions.
- Top Element: Activates the top heating elements (thermostat knob between 60°C and Max). Used for browning food at the end of cooking, such as cauliflower and macaroni cheese.
- Fan Assist: Circulates heated air from top and bottom elements for even temperature, reduced cooking time, and energy saving. Perfect for cooking on two levels (pastries, biscuits), low temperature defrosting, and dehydrating fruit and vegetables.
- Turbo Multi-Cook: Alternately activates the top circle and bottom heating elements, as well as the fan, for constant and uniform heat. Allows cooking various dishes simultaneously if they require the same temperature. Recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or prolonged cooking times (lasagne, pasta packs, roast chicken, potatoes). Excellent heat distribution allows for lower temperatures when cooking roasts, resulting in more tender meat. Suitable for cooking fish and vegetable-based side dishes. Single rack use only in this mode.
- Pizza Mode: Activates bottom and circle heating elements and the fan for rapid heating and prevalent bottom heat. Ideal for foods requiring high temperatures like pizzas and bread. Use one oven tray or rack at a time, positioned closer to the bottom.
- Rotisserie: To start, insert the rotisserie rod into the drive unit and groove, then slide the rack into the oven runners. The rotisserie rack must be fitted in the middle of the oven (second position from bottom).
- Cooling Ventilation: A cooling fan automatically activates when the oven is hot to cool the exterior. It remains on until the oven cools sufficiently.
- Time Setting: The oven only operates when the time has been set. The clock function button allows setting and changing the current time.
- Memory Function: Saves frequently used oven settings (function, temperature, cook time, end time).
- Clock Functions:
- Minute Minder: Sets a countdown timer that does not affect oven operation. An audible signal sounds when the time elapses.
- Cook Time: Sets the duration for which the oven will be in use. The oven switches off automatically after the set time.
- End Time: Sets when the oven is to switch off.
- Delayed Cooking (Cook Time and End Time Combined): Allows the oven to switch on and off automatically at a later time by setting both cook time and end time.
- Pre-Heat Power Boost: Speeds up pre-heating of the empty oven. The symbol lights up, and flashing bars indicate operation. An audible signal sounds when the set temperature is reached.
- Child Safety Device: Engages to prevent the oven from being switched on.
- Button Beep: Can be switched on or off.
- Display On/Off: The display can be switched off to save energy and comes on automatically when the appliance is switched on again.
