BREAD mode

Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results, we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions below:

•Follow the recipe.

•Do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan.

•Remember to pour 100 g (1dl) of cold water into the dripping pan, which should be placed in position 7.

•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.

Recipe for BREAD:

1 dripping pan holding 1000 g max, lower level

2 dripping pans each holding 1000 g max, middle and lower levels

Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g salt, 25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast) Method:

•Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.

•Dilute the yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35 degrees).

•Make a small well in the mound of flour.

•Pour in the water and yeast mixture.

•Knead the dough by stretching and folding it over itself with the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform consistency and is not too sticky.

•Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the surface of the dough from drying out. Select the manual LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should double in volume).

•Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.

•Place them in the dripping pan, on a sheet of baking paper.

•Dust the loaves with flour.

•Make incisions on the loaves.

•Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.

•Start the BREAD cooking mode.

•Once baked, leave the loaves on one of the grill racks until they have cooled completely.

THE DIVIDER

Fit the DIVIDER to the DIVIDER shelf “D” using the pin, with the arrows turned towards the rear part of the oven. A buzzer will sound to confirm that the DIVIDER has been fitted correctly; it will then be possible to use the two MAIN and SMALL Space compartments separately or at the same time.

The button will be enabled. The selected cavity alternates every time the button is pressed. The MAIN cavity is selected by default.

Cooking modes

GRILL mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. 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 (see “Practical cooking advice”).

FAST COOKING mode

Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only.

CREATION cooking modes

!All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and 250°C as desired (300°C for GRILL mode). CREATION cooking modes include all manual programmes.

The oven controls all essential aspects of each of these cooking modes and makes it easier for you to create the perfect dish, from the simplest recipe to the most sophisticated culinary delights: the temperature, heat source, humidity and fan assisted operation are all controlled automatically.

This chapter was written with the help of our very own culinary expert. We invite you to follow his advice so you can benefit from his experience and perfect your cooking skills.

The recommended cooking modes, temperatures and oven shelf heights reflect our expert’s own experience in the kitchen and will help you achieve the very best results.

The table below specifies whether it is best to pre-heatyour oven or not for each CREATION cooking mode. Observing these suggestions will guarantee perfect results.

If you wish to place food in a preheated oven, wait for the preheating stage to be completed (this will be signalled by a series of beeps).
