Manual cooking modes

GB

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

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

MULTILEVEL mode

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 two racks may be used at the same time.

BARBECUE mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. By pressing the “+” and “-” buttons on the left hand side of the control panel, the power levels that may be set will appear on the TEMPERATURE 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.

GRATIN mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where present) 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 of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.

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.

LOW TEMPERATURE modes

This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt and heating dishes at the required speed. The temperature options are: 40, 65, 90 °C.

1.Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2.Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and insert the spit into the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Start the spit roast function by selecting the

or modes.

￿When the mode is activated, the rotisserie spit will stop if the door is opened.

Automatic cooking modes

￿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 duration may be modified by ±5/10 minutes, depending on the selected cooking mode. The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start cooking whether the oven has been preheated or not.

￿When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.

￿Do not open the oven door to avoid offsetting the cooking time and temperature.

ROAST mode

Use this function to cook beef, pork and lamb. Place the meat inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.

BAKED CAKES mode

This function is ideal for cooking desserts which are made using natural yeast, baking powder and desserts which contain no yeast. Place the dish in the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven.
