Cooking modes for Multi-function main oven

GB (1 rst Oven)

!The first time you use your appliance, heat the empty oven with its door closed at its maximum temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the room is well ventilated before switching the oven off and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective substances used during the manufacturing process burning away.

!A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes

between 50°C and Max, except for the following modes

•MAXI-GRILL / MINI-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 in an uneven manner.

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 and cooking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously.

ZPIZZA 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.

MULTI-COOKING 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.

MINI-GRILL mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners.

MAXI-GRILL mode

All the top heating element are activated .

eGRATIN mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) 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.

!The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.

Practical cooking advice

!Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan- assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

MULTILEVEL

•Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on the rack in position 2.

•Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

GRILL

•When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). When using the GRATIN cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues.

•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.
