Cooking modes
“Defrosting” Mode 
Position of thermostat knob : 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
Convection Mode 
Position of thermostat knob: between 60°C and Max .
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when preparing veal or
Fan Assisted Mode 
Position of thermostat knob: Between 60°C and Max .
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”.
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended
for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for thoseGB requiring considerably 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 fan assisted 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.
Desserts: the fan assisted 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.
“Top” oven 
Position of thermostat knob: Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill 
Position of thermostat knob : Max
The top heating element and the turnspit come 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...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph.
Fan Assisted Grill 
Position of thermostat knob: between 60°C and 200°C.
The top central 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..
