prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The Multi-cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent results can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc.

Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes. Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.

Grill d

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 50% and 100%. The top heating element comes on.

The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...

Always cook in this mode with the oven door ajar.

Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph.

Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%) and maximum (100%) settings.

Gratin e

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The top heating element and the fan 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. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.

All“gratin”cooking must be done with the oven door shut. The “gratin” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna, swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.

Pizza Mode w

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance (2800 W), which results in the production of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom.

The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts.Only use one oven tray or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway through the cooking process.

Baking Mode u

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.

This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc…..

“Fast cooking” Mode v

Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.

This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre- packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-made” dishes.

The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical Cooking Advice”.

“Defrosting” Mode U

Position of thermostat knob “C”: any

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.
