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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
