Position the meat so its weight is spreaded evenly on the fork in order to avoid unnecessary strain to the rotisserie

- Unscrew the skewer knob and insert the spit in the rotisserie's turning mechanism situated on the back of the oven;

- Select the desired cooking method.

3.3 HOW TO USE MULTIFUNCTION OVENS

Multifunction ovens are characterized by the fact that the heat can spread both in a natural way (conventional) or in a forced way (fan assisted).

CONVENTIONAL COOKING: The heat that warms the oven up is produced by the resistances placed on the upper and bottom part.

These resistances can work both individually or together. This method results in a more even cooking. The temperature is always kept constant by the thermostat in accordance to the selected temperature ranging from 50^ C and 250^ C. During this type of cooking humidity loss in the food is slow and even.

FAN ASSISTED COOKING: Heat is obtained by a forced flow of hot air inside the oven.

The air is warmed by a circular resistance adjacent to the fan. Its circulation is made possible by the fan which spreads it quickly and evenly.

This method guarantees a quicker cooking compared to the conventional one and with temperatures 10-20°C lower. The thermostat assures a constant temperature inside the oven.

Pre-heating of the oven is necessary only for pastry making, all other types of cooking do not require it. It's ideal to defrost foods or cook simultaneously more than one dish without altering the flavours.

This feature allows different types of cooking with separate regulation of the temperature (ranging from 50^ C to 250^ C) by operating the function knob or the touch panels.

WARNING: On the ovens the chosen temperature is reached when the temperature indicator light (thermometer symbol) switches off.
