Universal cooking functions

￿All functions have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 40°C and 250°C as desired.

For the BARBECUE function, the default power level value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be adjusted manually.

MULTILEVEL function

All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of four racks may be used at the same time. If you are using several racks at the same time, we recommend you place the dripping pan on the lower rack. If you are cooking on 4 levels at the same time, we recommend you place the shelves on racks 3, 5 and 6 and the dripping pan on rack 1.

GRATIN function

The top heating element are activated and the fan begins to operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating element is also activated. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.

Automatic cooking functions

￿ The temperature and 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. The cooking duration may be modified by a period of several minutes, as specified in the description of the individual functions below.

ROAST function

GB

This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

BARBECUE function

The top heating element are activated. By turning the TEMPERATURE knob, the different power levels which may be set will appear on the display; these range between 5% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

LOW TEMPERATURE function

Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. If you wish to place the food in the oven after it has been preheated, immediately following a high- temperature cooking programme, the text “Hot” will appear on the display until the temperature of the oven has fallen to 40°. At this point it will be possible to place the bread in the oven.
