Cooking modes

!

 A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes

between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes

•  GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level)
•  GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).

;

TRADITIONAL OVEN 

mode

Both the top and bottom heating elements will come 
on. 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 in an uneven manner.

X

 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 and cooking 
temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need 
to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves 
simultaneously.

:

FAST COOKING

 mode

The heating elements and the fan come on, 
guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and 
uniformly throughout the oven.
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.

<

MULTI-COOKING 

mode

All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) 
switch on and the fan begins to operate. 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.

=

PIZZA

 mode

The circular heating elements and the elements at 
the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is 
activated. 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.

G

GRILL 

mode

The central part of the top heating element is switched 
on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is 
recommended for food that requires a high surface 
temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and 
entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of 
energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the 
food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked 

properly if it is placed in the corners.

H

 GRATIN

 mode

The top heating element and the rotisserie (where 
present) are activated and the fan begins to 
operate.  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.

!

 The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be 

performed with the oven door shut.

Using the cooking timer

1. 

To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob 

clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired time: 
align the minutes shown on the COOKING TIMER knob 
with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer 
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be used 
as a normal timer.

!

 To use the oven manually, in other words when you 

do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the 
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the 

 symbol.

Practical cooking advice

!

 Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-

assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn 
temperature sensitive foods.

MULTILEVEL
•  Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food that requires 

more heat on the rack in position 2.

•  Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack 

on top.

GRILL
•  When using the GRILL cooking mode, place the rack 

in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to 
collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). When 
using the GRATIN cooking mode, place the rack in 
position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to 
collect cooking residues.

•  We recommend that the power level is set to 

maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a 
thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA MODE
•  Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack 

provided. 

  For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as 

it prevents the crust from forming by extending the 
total cooking time.
