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 unevenly.

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.

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.

The top heating element and the rotisserie (where

The high and direct temperature of the grill is

recommended for food which requires a high surface

temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven

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. Always cook

in this mode with the oven door closed.

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 temperature sensitive foods

(such as cakes, which need to rise) and for the

preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3 shelves

1. Place the dripping

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 MODES

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-

assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn

temperature sensitive foods.

! In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the

dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking

residues (sauce and/or grease).

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which

requires more heat on the rack in position 2.

• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack

• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the food

is in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that the power level is set to

maximum. The top heating element is regulated by

a thermostat and may not always operate

• Use a lightweight aluminium pizza pan. Place it on

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as

this extends the total cooking duration and prevents

the crust from forming.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend

adding the mozzarella cheese to the top of the

pizza halfway through the cooking process.
