Instructions for the user

LOWER HEATING ELEMENT

Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

This function is recommended when blind-baking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is properly cooked.

Preheating is recommended in particular when baking cakes and pizza.

How to cook?

Set the small oven function knob on the symbol.

VENTILATED HEATING ELEMENT

Keep the oven door closed during cooking.

Dishes can be cooked on one or several shelves using the fan oven. The hot air circulation produces an even cooking temperature. Fan oven cooking is recommended for all types of dishes.

How to cook?

In fan-assisted mode preheating should be carried out at 30/40°C above the cooking temperature. This considerably shortens cooking times and reduces power consumption, as well as giving better cooking results.

Turn the large oven thermostat knob to between 50°C and 245°C

Fan oven cooking generally requires lower temperature than conventional cooking.

The fan oven has even heating on all runner positions. This means that batches of the same food can be cooked in the oven at the same time.

However, the top shelf may brown slightly quicker than the lower one. This is quite usual. There is no mixing of flavours between dishes.
