Cooking modes, Practical cooking advice | Hotpoint SE661X/1 specification

Cooking modes

!A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for

•BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level);

•GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

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 will be distributed unevenly.

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.

BARBECUE mode

The top heating element comes on.

The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element, as well as the fan, will 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.

PIZZA mode

The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will 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.	GB
the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
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.

Practical cooking advice

!Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan- assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

!In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTI-COOKING

•Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2.

•Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

BARBECUE

•Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.

•We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.

PIZZA MODE

•Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time).

•If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
