Manual cooking modes
!
All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which
may be adjusted manually to a value between 30°C and
250°C as desired (300°C for GRILL mode). Any temperature
adjustments will be stored in the appliance memory and
suggested again the next time this mode is used. If the
selected temperature is lower than the temperature inside the
oven, the text “Hot” appears on the TEMPERATURE display.
However, it will still be possible to start cooking.
MULTILEVEL
mode
All heating elements and the fan are activated. 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
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where
present) are activated. 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 (see “Practical cooking advice”).
FAN GRILLING
mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie spit (where
present) are activated and the fan begins to operate.
During part of the cycle the circular heating element is
also activated. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided
by the heating elements through the 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 (see “Practical
cooking advice”).
LOW TEMPERATURE
modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting,
preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and
slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options
are: 40, 65 and 90°C.
PIZZA
modes
The top and circular heating elements switch on and the fan
begins to operate. This combination heats the oven rapidly.
If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position
of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
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
temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes, which need to rise).
ECO
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 energy
saving mode is recommended for small dishes, ideal for
heating foods and finishing off cooking.
Rotisserie spit*
To operate the rotisserie
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
function by selecting the
or
modes;
!
When
mode is on, the rotisserie will stop if the door
is opened.
Automatic cooking modes
!
The
temperature
and
cooking duration
are
pre-set values
,
guaranteeing a perfect result every time - automatically. These
values are set using the
C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal
Cooking
) system. The cooking cycle stops automatically and
the oven indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start
cooking whether the oven has been
preheated
or
not
.
The cooking duration can be customised according to
personal taste by modifying the relevant value - before
cooking begins - by ±5/20 minutes depending on the
selected programme. The duration can however be modified
even once cooking has begun. If the value is modified
before the programme begins, it is stored in the memory
and suggested again by the appliance when the programme
is next used. If the temperature inside the oven is higher
than the suggested value for the selected mode, the text
“Hot” appears on the TEMPERATURE display and it will
not be possible to begin cooking; wait for the oven to cool.
!
When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven
buzzer sounds.
!
Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking
time and temperature.
BEEF
mode
Use this function to cook beef, pork and lamb. Place the
food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish may also
be placed in a preheated oven.
FISH FILLETS
mode
This function is ideal for cooking small-medium fillets. Place
the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
BREAD
mode
Use this function to bake bread. To obtain the best results,
we recommend that you carefully observe the instructions
