Cooking modes
! All cooking modes have a default cooking
temperature which may be adjusted manually
between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level
value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also
be adjusted manually.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
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 unevenly.
MULTI-COOKING mode
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.
BARBECUE mode
By turning the THERMOSTAT knob, the different
power levels which may be set will appear on the
display; these range between 50% and 100%. The
high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food which requires a high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
GRATIN mode
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.
Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
PIZZA OVEN mode
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.
BAKING mode
This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive
foods (such as cakes, which need to rise) and for
the preparation of “bitesize pastries” on 3 shelves
simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
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.
PROVING 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.
