Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 50°C and Max, except for
• GRILL, DOUBLE 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.
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 simultaneously, 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.
 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 Place the food in the
centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it
is placed in the corners.
Fast cooking” Mode“
Position of thermostat knob “M”: between 60°C and
Max.
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-
packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary),
such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well
as for a few “home-made” dishes.
The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking”
mode are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the
second from the bottom), please see the table entitled
“Practical Cooking Advice”.
 GRATIN 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, DOUBLE GRILL and GRATIN cooking
modes must be performed with the oven door shut.
Lower oven compartment
There is a compartment underneath the oven that may
be used to storeoven accessories or deep dishes.
! Do not place flammable materials in the lower oven
compartment.
! The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
MULTI-COOKING
• 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 and DOUBLE GRILL cooking
modes, 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.
