Cooking modes
 A temperature value between 50°C and MAX can be
set for all cooking modes except the following:
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will be
activated. 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 in an uneven
manner.
OVEN BAKING mode
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 and cooking temperature
sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and
for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
The heating elements and the fan are activated,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and
uniformly throughout the oven.
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode.
This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-
packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best
results are achieved using one cooking rack only.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as
well as the fan, will be activated. 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.
PIZZA OVEN mode
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.
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element and the
rotisserie spit (where present) are activated. The high
and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for
food that requires a high surface temperature (veal
and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This
cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is
ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the
centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it
is placed in the corners.
GRATIN mode
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.
 The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be
performed with the oven door shut.
Spit roast (only available in certain models)
To operate the spit roast
function (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 the mode is activated, the spit will stop if
the door is opened.
