Oven Functions

Convencional

This function is for use when baking cakes, where the heat should be even to give a spongy texture.

Lower Element

Heat only comes from beneath. Suitable for warming plates or letting dough rise.

Grill and Lower Element

Ideal for roasts. This function can be used with any size joints of meat.

Grill

Toasting and browning. This function allows the surface to be cooked without affecting the inside of the food. Suitable for flat pieces such as steaks, ribs, fish and toasts.

Maxigrill

For toasting larger surfaces than possible with the Grill function, in addition to greater toasting power for faster food browning.

MaxiGrill with Fan

For even roasting and simultaneous surface browning. Ideal for mixed grills. Perfect for bulky pieces such as poultry and game. The meat should be placed on the oven grid with the tray below to collect meat juices.

Caution

The door must be closed during use with Grill, MaxiGrill or MaxiGrill with Fan.

Conventional with Fan

Suitable for roasts and cakes. The fan spreads the heat evenly throughout the inside of the oven to reduce cooking time and temperature.

Turbo

The fan spreads the heat coming from an element located at the back of the oven. As a result of the evenly distributed temperature, food can be cooked on two levels at the same time.

Pizza

Ideal for baking pizzas, pies, and fruit tarts or sponges.

Slow cooker

Designed to cook casseroles, stews, etc, in the traditional way, and for all recipes specifying long cooking times and low heat.

For the best results, we recommend using covered casserole pans with lids, first making sure that they can be used in the oven.

Defrosting

Recommendations for Defrosting Food

The defrost function works by means of a 2-level system of hot air. HI is for meats in general and LO is for fish, cakes, pastries and bread. When selecting the defrost function, select HI or LO on the temperature display by pressing on the temperature sensor + and then the + or - sensors.

• Unpackaged food should be placed on the oven tray or on a dish.

• Defrost large pieces of meat or fish by placing them over the grid with a tray underneath to collect any liquid.

• Meat and fish do not need to be completely thawed before cooking. Condiments can be added once the surface is soft.

• Food should always be cooked after defrosting.
• Do not refreeze defrosted food.

See the following chart for defrosting times and temperature levels:

FOOD	LO LEVEL		HI LEVEL
	Weight	Time	Weight	Time
Bread	1/2 Kg	35 mins
Cake	1/2 Kg	25 mins
Fish	1/2 Kg	30 mins
Fish	1 Kg	40 mins
Chicken			1 Kg	75 mins
Chicken			1,5 Kg	90 mins
Rib steak			1/2 Kg	40 mins
Minced meat			1/2 Kg	60 mins
Minced meat			1 Kg	120 mins

The times shown in the chart are a guide. The time needed for defrosting will depend on the temperature of the room, weight of the food and how frozen it is.

Oven Use

Use of the meat probe

The meat probe measures the temperature inside the roast. When this temperature reaches a previously set level, the oven will turn off automatically. Cooking with the meat probe ensures optimum results for any type of meat or size of roast.

Placing the meat probe

• Use only the original meat probe.
• Place the probe before roasting begins.
• Insert the probe into the side of the roast so that the point reaches its centre.
• Insert the entire probe, up to the handle.

• It is recommended to turn the roast over half-way through cooking. Bear this in mind when placing the probe to avoid problems with it later.

• The point of the probe must not be touching the bone or fatty areas. Also, it should not be in a hollow area, which could happen with poultry.

Use of the meat probe

• Put the roast with the probe already in it into the oven.
• Plug the probe into the socket in the upper left side of the oven.
• When you plug it in, you will see a recommended temperature (65 °C) on the probe temperature display (3) on the control panel.

• If you want to change the recommended temperature, touch the sensor l and then the sensors + or - .

• You will hear two beeps confirming the new temperature selected.

• Select a function and a temperature for cooking the roast in the Cooking Chart.

• When the internal temperature of the roast reaches the selected temperature, the oven will turn off and an alarm signal will sound for a few seconds.

• Press on any sensor on the control panel to stop the alarm.

• The roast is cooked to your taste and ready to serve.

You can change the selected temperature for your roast whenever you want by touching the sensor + and then sensors + and - .
