Cooking modes Cooking modes ! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for

• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power level);

• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

LEAVENING LEAVENING LEAVENING LEAVENING LEAVENING mode The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of 40°C irrespective of the position of the THERMOSTAT knob. This mode is ideal for leavening dough made with yeast.

TRADITIONAL OVEN mode Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only: if more than one rack is used, the heat distribution will be uneven.

BAKING BAKING BAKING BAKING BAKING mode The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain tartlets on 3 shelves simultaneously.

FAST COOKING mode The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack only.

MULTI-COOKING MULTI-COOKING MULTI-COOKING MULTI-COOKING MULTI-COOKING mode All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.

PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA mode The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the fan come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the bottom element. If you use more than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.

BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE BARBECUE mode The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) come on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.

GRATIN GRATIN GRATIN GRATIN GRATIN mode The top heating element as well as the fan and the rotisserie (where present) come on. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. The Rotisserie (only available on certain models) To operate the rotisserie

see diagram ) proceed as follows:

1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.

2. Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and insert

the spit in the hole provided on the back panel of the oven.

3. Start the rotisserie using the knob to select MODE

/ or / . ! When / mode is on, the rotisserie will stop if the door is opened.20

Practical cooking advice ! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan- assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods. ! In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). MULTI-COOKING

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

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

• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on. PIZZA MODE

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending 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.21
