COOKING FUNCTIONS
Oven light
To turn on the light in the cooking chamber.
Fan and lower element
This type of cooking is particularly delicate and slow. It is suitable for delicate dishes or for
reheating pre-cooked foods. Also suitable for baking and for cooking foods that require heat
to be concentrated from the bottom of the chamber.
Traditional cooking
Traditional cooking method: using the lower and upper heating elements, it is suitable for
the preparation of any dish and is highly suitable for cooking fatty meats. Be sure to warm
up the oven before inserting food.
Traditional cooking with fan
Select a desired temperature, keeping the door closed. This function is ideal for bread,
focaccia, and lasagne. The oven does not require any warm up (except for pizza and
focaccia). Invert the position of the dishes in the oven a few minutes prior to the end of the
cooking time.
Centre Grill
Heat is directed onto the food from the top towards the bottom. Select a desired temperature,
keeping the door closed.
Recommended use: for grilling small quantities of food (toasts, hot sandwiches, etc.).
Full grill
This cooking method is normal static grilling using the top elements, which directs heat
downwards onto the food. Suitable for grilling medium to large portions of sausages, bacon,
steaks and fish.
Full grill with fan
Heat is directed onto the dishes from the upper heating elements towards the bottom.
The action of the fan, combined with the action of the grill, allows for quick, thorough
cooking of special foods. This cycle is ideal for browning and sealing juices and flavour in
foods, for example, steak, hamburgers, vegetables, etc. Select a desired temperature, keeping
the door closed. It is advisable to heat the oven for a few minutes before putting food in it.
Multifunction
This type of cooking allows even heat distribution to all parts of the oven.
It is possible to cook two different types of food (e.g. meat and fish) regarding their different
cooking times. It is necessary to warm up the oven before introducing the food.
Defrosting
The fan motor comes on, but there is no heat. The oven door should be kept in the close
position. Recommended use: for defrosting frozen foods in general, this will help cut down
the defrosting time by about one third of the normal time.
