•as the cooking temperatures are very low (in general they are lower than the temperature required for evaporation), the dispersion of cooking sauces due to evaporation is substantially reduced and the food becomes softer;
•when cooking meat, the muscle fibres contract less than they would during a classic cooking cycle. The result is a more tender meat which does not need to be rested after it is cooked.
Meat should be browned before it is placed in the oven.
Cooking foods which have been
•culinary: flavours are concentrated and the taste, softness and tenderness of the food are maintained;
•hygienic: provided that hygiene regulations are respected, this type of cooking protects the food from the harmful effects of oxygen, thus ensuring that the dishes may be stored for longer in the refrigerator;
•organisational: thanks to the longer storage period, dishes may be prepared well in advance;
•
•financial: the food shrinks less so there is more of the product left after it has been cooked.
To use this technique, you must use a vacuum- packing machine and the appropriate bags. Follow the instructions supplied relating to
The
DEFROSTNG mode
The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates room- temperature air around the food. This mode is suitable for defrosting any type of food, especially delicate items that should not be heated, for example:
ECO 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 energy saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for heating foods and finishing off cooking.
* Only available in certain models.

Automatic cooking modes
!The temperature and cooking duration are pre- set , guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system. 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. The cooking duration can be customised according to personal tastes, modifying it by ±5/10 minutes depending on the selected programme. If the value is modified before cooking begins, it is stored in the appliance memory and suggested again when that cooking mode is next used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher than the suggested value for the selected mode, the text “OVEN TOO HOT” appears on the display and it will not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.
The icon representing the selected mode and the icon representing the recommended shelf position appear on the display alternately.
!When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven buzzer sounds.
!Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking time and temperature.
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.
