ZPIZZA mode

GB

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 4 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.

PIZZA MODE

•Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total 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.

Cooking modes for Conventional main oven (2nd 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 60°C and Max, except for the following modes

• MAXI-GRILL / MINI-GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)

Starting the oven

1.Select the desired cooking mode by turning the SELECTOR knob.

2.Select the recommended temperature for the cooking mode or the desired temperature by turning the THERMOSTAT knob.
