CONVENTIONAL WITH FAN

Suitable for roasts and baking. The fan dis- tributes the heat evenly around the inside of the oven to reduce cooking time and tem- perature.

GRILL AND LOWER ELEMENT

Ideal for roasts. This setting can be used for any cuts of meat, regardless of size. MAXIGRILL For toasting larger surfaces than possible with the Grill setting, with greater toasting power for faster food browning. GRILL Toasting and browning. This setting allows the surface to be browned without affecting the inside of the food. Suitable for at foods such as steaks, ribs, sh and toast.

GRILL / 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 grid shelf with the tray below to collect meat juices. LOWER HEAT (FLOOR) Heat only comes from the lower part. Suit- able for warming dishes or letting dough or similar products rise. TURBO + LOWER HEAT (PIZZA) Ideal for cooking pizzas and baking pies, fruit tarts and sponge cakes. TURBO The fan distributes the heat coming from an element located at the back of the oven. As a result of the evenly-distributed tempera- ture, food can be cooked on two shelves at the same time. SLOW COOKER Specially designed for cooking traditional casseroles, stews, etc... and for any dishes specifying particularly long cooking times and low heat. For the best results, we recommend using covered casserole pans with lids, rst mak- ing sure they can be used in the oven. ECO For cooking in the oven with the minimum energy consumption possible. The oven uses convention heating, and depending on the model, switches off a few minutes before the end of cooking, using the residu- al heat inside the oven and completing the dish perfectly. Recommended for sh and all types of meat roasts. DEFROSTING This function is suitable for slowly de- frosting food, particularly food consumed unheated, such as soups, pastries, tarts, cakes, etc.12 Cooking guide In some models, the defrost function can be used to heat food using a hot air sys- tem on two levels. HI is suitable for meat in general and LO is used for sh, pastry and bread. RISING DOUGH Specially designed for allowing dough for bread and pastry to rise. FAST PREHEATING This function allows the oven to be quick- ly pre-heated to the selected temperature. Use this function when your recipe requires the oven to be at a specic temperature be- fore use. Other oven functions For more details on how to use these functions, see the User Guide for your oven. TEKA HYDROCLEAN® The TEKA HYDROCLEAN® function makes it easy to remove grease and other food de- bris that may have stuck to the sides of the oven. During the cleaning cycle the light in- side the oven will remain off. PYROLYSIS This pyrolytic cleaning cycle uses high temperatures inside the oven to cause the oxidisation and carbonisation of grease accumulated during cooking. During the cleaning cycle the light inside the oven will remain off. Energy-saving tips:

• Remove any accessories not in use from the oven.

• Use oven-proof dishes, preferably dark colour- ed.

• Open the oven door as little as possible during cooking.

• Avoid preheating the oven while empty. When- ever the recipe allows, place the food in the cold oven.

• If your oven has an ECO function, use this function whenever the recipe allows.

• For recipes with long cooking times, switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the total cooking time to make use of the residual heat.

• If your oven has fan features, cook multiple dishes at once. Environmentally-friendly use of the oven13 Cooking guide English Cooking functions vary between models. The ta- bles provided show the key cooking times. The times and temperatures shown in the chart are given as a guide. It is advisable to start with the lowest gures and increase as necessary. For 45 cm ovens: Cooking times and temper- atures are normally slightly less than for 60 cm ovens. Always use the lower end of the range given in the tables. In general, the times shown on the Tables are calculated for placing food in a cold oven. Recipes requiring the oven to be pre-heated will expressly mention this. Some models come with a Rapid Pre-heating function. This function reduces the cooking time in relation to the gures given in the Tables. When using this function, wait until the selected temperature has been reached before placing the food in the oven. Cooking guide When defrosting, remember:

• Food should be removed from its packaging and placed on the oven tray or on a dish.

• Defrost large cuts of meat or sh by placing them on the grid shelf with a tray underneath to collect any liquid.

• Meat and sh do not need to be completely thawed before cooking. It is enough for the surface to be soft to enable it to be seasoned.

• Food should always be cooked after defrost- ing.

• D o not re-freeze food once thawed. The times shown in the chart* are a guideline. The time needed for defrosting will depend on the ambient temperature, weight of the food and how deeply frozen it is. Defrosting The shelf levels for cooking are as follows (from the bottom): 1: Low. 2: Medium. 3: High. Levels 4 and 5 are suitable for grilling and toast- ing. For 45 cm ovens: The most suitable level for cooking is always level 1. Levels 2 and 3 are suitable for grilling and toasting. Place the food in the centre of the shelf or rack for the most even result possible. *See thawing chart on page 48.14 Guide de cuisson Sommaire
