The Cooking Modes in your Oven
Your new appliance is equipped with a number of different cooking modes:
Manual cooking modes
!All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C for TOP OVEN, between 800°C and 230°C for MAIN OVEN,(for GRILL mode- from 5% to 100%). If the oven had been heated up to a certain temperature level , and the newly selected temperature is lower than the temperature inside the oven, the text “Hot” appears on the display. However, it will still be possible to start cooking.
Conventional Heating (Top Oven)
-with upper and lower heat. This system is particularly suitable for roasting and baking on one shelf only.
Variable Grilling (Top Oven)
-the oven can also be used for conventional grilling with a full or half width fully controllable grill.
Note: The Top Oven door should be fully open when grilling.
Traditional (Main Oven)
-the upper and rear heating elements are switched on in this position. The traditional oven brings an outstanding level of temperature distribution and reduced consumption. In traditional cooking use only one rack to ensure good heat distribution. By using the various shelf positions available you can balance the quantity of heat between the upper and lower part. If cooking requires more heat from below or above, use the lower or higher shelves respectively.
MULTILEVEL mode (Main Oven)
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.
LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65 and 90.
Automatic cooking modes
The temperature and the cooking duration are pre- set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time
-automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start cooking whether the
oven has been preheated or not. The cooking duration
can be customised according to personal taste byGB 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 temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected mode, the text “Hot” appears on the display and it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.
!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.
BAKED CAKES mode
This function is ideal for cooking desserts which are made using natural yeast, baking powder and desserts which contain no yeast. Place the dish in the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

•remember to pour 50 g (0,5 dl) of cold water into the baking tray in position 5.
•The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for 1 – 1 ½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or until the dough has doubled in size.
The cooking tempereature in this programme can be reduced to 1min.

2 Dripping pans each holding 1000 g Max, medium and lower levels
