PIZZA 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.
MULTI-COOKING mode
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.
MINI-GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is
switched on. 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.
MAXI-GRILL mode
All the top heating element are activated .
e
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.
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.
THERMOSTAT indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
It switches off when the inside of the oven reaches
the selected temperature. At this point the light
illuminates and switches off alternately, indicating
that the thermostat is working and is maintaining the
temperature at a constant level.
OPERATION indicator light
When this is illuminated, the oven is generating heat.
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob
to any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as
the oven is operating. By selecting
8
with the knob,
the light is switched on without any of the heating
elements being activated.
Cooking modes for Multi-function main oven
(1 rst Oven)
! The first time you use your appliance, heat the
empty oven with its door closed at its maximum
temperature for at least half an hour. Ensure that the
room is well ventilated before switching the oven off
and opening the oven door. The appliance may emit a
slightly unpleasant odour caused by protective
substances used during the manufacturing process
burning away.
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes
between 50°C and Max, except for the following
modes
• MAXI-GRILL / MINI-GRILL (recommended: set only
to MAX power level)
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 in an uneven
manner.
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.
