the oven due to the large amount of power used by the
appliance (2700 W), which results in the production of
considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom
and from forced air circulation. The pizza mode is ideal
for foods which need high temperatures to cook, like
pizza and large roasts. Use only one dripping-pan
or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used,
they must be switched half way through the cooking
process.
Ventilation Mode
temp: between 50°C and Max
Since the heat remains constant and uniform
throughout the oven due to the fan at the bottom, the
air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire
surface. With this mode, you can also cook various
dishes at the same time, as long as their respective
cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2
rack levels can be used at the same time, following
the instructions in the section entitled, “Cooking On
More Than One Rack”. This cooking mode is ideal for
au gratin dishes or those which require an extended
cooking time like lasagne etc...
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it
possible to use lower temperatures when cooking
roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is
more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for
the roast. The ventilated mode is especially suited for
cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition
of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining
their flavour and appearance. Excellent results
can also be attained when cooking vegetable like
courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the
ventilated mode. Moreover, this mode can also be
used to thaw meat, fish and bread by setting the
temperature to 80°-100°C. To thaw more delicate
foods, set the thermostat to 50°C or use only the cold
air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
Top element
temp: between 50°C and Max
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 high temperature on the surface: beef steaks,
veal, entrecôte, filets, hamburger etc...
The “Grill”
temp: between 50°C and Max
This oversized grill has a completely new design,
increasing cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill
also eliminates pockets of unheated air in the corners
of the oven.
Important: Always leave the oven door closed when
using the grill setting n order to achieve the best
results and save on energy (about 10%).
When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack
heights (see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan
beneath the oven rack to prevent grease from falling
onto the bottom of the oven.
Ventilated Grill
temp: between 50°C and Max
This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
of the heating elements through forced air circulation
of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevents
foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate into the food. Excellent results are achieved
with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork
chops, etc. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish
steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc.
In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn
on (where present). Cooking with this function is
especially recommended for meat dishes such as
loins, poultry, etc….
Note: When using the grill, the oven door must be
closed.
Spit roast (only available in certain models)
To operate the spit roast function (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 the mode is activated, the spit will stop if the
door is opened.
Door lock device
Some models are equipped with a
“door lock” device situated between
the control panel and the oven door.
