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
modes
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.
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

15 minutes is programmed. The programme will stop
automatically at 10:15 a.m.
Setting the end time for a cooking mode
!
A cooking duration must be set before the end cooking
time can be scheduled.
1. Follow steps 1 to 3 to set the duration as detailed above.
2. Next, press the button until the
icon and the two
digits on the DISPLAY begin to flash.
3. Turn the TIMER KNOB towards “ ” and “ ” to adjust

and the cooking duration alternately.
To cancel programming, turn the SELECTOR knob to the
“0” position.
Practical cooking advice
!
Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
!
In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly
when using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in
position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires
more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on
top.
BARBECUE
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the
centre of the rack.
• 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 OVEN
• 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.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway
through the cooking process.
