THE COOKING FUNCTION SELECTOR

It comprises 10 marks represented in order by the following pictograms:

«0» : stop

: oven light

The oven light stays on during cooking, in whatever cooking mode (with the exception of Fast Clean).

If you decide to delay the cooking start, the oven light comes on as soon as you programme the start and stays on until the cooking is finished.

: "Traditional"

This cooking mode is suitable for cooking individual dishes. Two heating elements (one at the top of the oven and the other at the bottom) work together.

The air heats up upon contact with these heat sources, and circulates around the inside of the oven to provide uniform heat, as the hot, lighter air tends to rise. This is caused by natural convection. This cooking mode is especially recommended when cooking simmered recipes using covered casserole dishes (hotpots, tripe, etc.) or for Bain Marie cooking (crème caramel, terrines, etc.). In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.

We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your dishes in it.

: "Pastry"

Only the circular heating element at the back of the oven and the fan come on to provide delicate heat, suitable for baking cakes and pastries such as brioches, chocolate cake, fruitcake, sponge cake, mini cup cakes, meringues, etc.

In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom. We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your dishes in it.

: "Fast cooking"

The combination of all the heating elements together with the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout the oven.

This particular cooking mode is ideal for fast cooking (not requiring any pre-heating) and for cooked dishes (frozen, pre-cooked food).

In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.

: "Multicooking"

The combination of all the heating elements together with the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout the oven.

This cooking mode is recommended for cooking several dishes on more than one shelf.

Even if the dishes vary in nature, their respective flavours are maintained during cooking.

When using this cooking mode, all the dishes should require the same cooking temperature (you just need to take them out gradually as each one is ready). When cooking on two shelves, for example, use the baking tray as a dish support on the first shelf position from the bottom and the shelf on the third shelf position from the bottom. We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your dishes in it.

: "Pizza"

The heating elements (bottom and circular) are turned on to heat the oven up quickly.

Your pizzas and tarts will benefit from a greater amount of heat from below, thus guaranteeing the rapid baking of the dough during cooking. As for the fan, the latter browns the surface as necessary, making the food even more appetising.

Use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the 1st shelf position from the oven bottom.

We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your dishes in it.
