Modes

!Every time the oven is switched on, it suggests the first manual cooking mode.

Manual 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). Any temperature adjustments will be stored in the appliance memory and suggested again the next time this mode is used. If the selected temperature is higher than the temperature inside the oven, the text “Hot” appears on the display. However, it will still be possible to start cooking.

MULTILEVEL mode

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.

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”).

FAN GRILLING 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 provided by the heating elements through the 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 (see “Practical cooking advice”).

FAST 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.

LOW TEMPERATURE modes

This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the

required speed and slow cooking at low

temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65 GB and 90°C.

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).

PIZZA mode

The top and circular heating elements switch on and the fan begins to operate. This combination heats the oven rapidly. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

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.

Rotisserie (only available in certain models)

To operate the

rotisserie function (see

diagram) proceed as

follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2. Place the rotisserie

support in position 3 and insert the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the

3. Start the rotisserie using the SELECTOR knob to

When modes	or	are activated, the

rotisserie will stop if the door is opened.

Automatic cooking modes

!The temperature and the 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 cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven
