Cooking modes
GB
!A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can be set for all cooking modes except the following:
•GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
•GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan begins to operate. 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.
PIZZA OVEN mode
The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
GRILL mode
The top heating element come on.
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 are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by 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.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3 shelves simultaneously.
Practical cooking advice
!Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan- assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
!In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (sauce and/or grease).
MULTILEVEL
•Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on the rack in position 2.
•Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
GRILL
•Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the food is in the centre of the rack.
•We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.
PIZZA OVEN MODE
•Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as this extends the total cooking duration and prevents the crust from forming.
•If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese to the top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
