BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.
Practical cooking advice
!Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan- assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
!In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
•Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2.
•Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
BARBECUE
•Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.
•We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.

compartment.
!The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may become hot.
Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the FAN
OVEN cooking mode 
, as this is the only cooking mode suited to this type of cooking. We also recommend that:
•Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
•Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that requires more heat is placed on the rack in position 2.
•When cooking foods that require different cooking times and temperatures, set a temperature that is halfway between the two recommended temperatures (see Oven cooking advice table) and place the more delicate food on the rack in position 4. Remove the food that requires a shorter cooking time first.
•When cooking pizzas on several racks with the temperature set to 220°C, the oven is preheated for 15 minutes. Generally speaking, cooking on the rack in position 4 takes longer: we recommend that the pizza cooked on the lowest rack position is removed first, followed by the pizza cooked in position 4 a few minutes later.
•Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
PIZZA MODE
•Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time).
•If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.
!After selecting any of the oven programs, the parame- ter setting of the product is activated. It optimizes the performance of cooking, but could result in a delayed ignition of fan and heating elements.
* Only available in certain models.
WARNING! The oven is
provided with a stop sys-
tem to extract the racks
and prevent them from
coming out of the oven.(1)
As shown in the drawing,
to extract them comple-
tely, simply lift the racks, holding them on the front part, and pull (2).
