Grill
d
Position of thermostat knob “M”: 50%, 75%, 100%.
The top heating element and the turnspit (where present) come
on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also
highly recommended for dishes that require a high temperature
on the surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets,
hamburgers etc...
Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cook-
ing Advice” paragraph.
Note: turn knob “M” and the display will indicate the 3 dif-
ferent energy percentages which represent the minimum
(50%), medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) re-
spectively.
Gratin
e
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The top heating element, the fan and the turnspit (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. Excellent results are
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sau-
sages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail,
pork chops, etc.
All “gratin” cooking must be done with the oven door shut.,
by setting the maximum temperature to 200°C
The “gratin” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna,
swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
Pizza Mode
w
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan,
will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to
the large amounts of power used by the appliance (2800 W),
which results in the production of considerable heat coming
prevalently from the bottom.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high tempera-
tures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. pizzas and large
roasts. Only use one dripping pan or rack at a time. However,
if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway
through the cooking process.
Baking Mode
u
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing
delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of
certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few
examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury
puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin,
etc…..
“Fast cooking” Mode
v
Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for
example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few
“home-made” dishes.
The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical
Cooking Advice”.
“Defrosting” Mode
U
Position of thermostat knob “M”: any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is rec-
ommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream des-
serts, fruit sweets. By using the fan, the defrosting time is
approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and bread,
it is possible to accelerate the process using the “multi-
cooking” mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.
Automatic cleaning with the fast clean function V
This function is designed to clean your oven thoroughly.
For details on the fast clean function, please refer to the
paragraph entitled “Automatic cleaning with the fast clean
function”.
If the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below
a value that is too low, the appliance comes with a system
that allows you to resume cooking/pyrolysis from the point
in which it was interrupted at the time of the black-out.
Remember that this function will be disabled if the knobs
“L” and “M” are turned during the power failure. Once the
cooking/pyrolysis has been completed, remember to up-
date the time if you want to.
NOTE
Please bear in mind that, for safety reasons, cooking/py-
rolysis programmes waiting to start are not restored when
the power comes back on.
