veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... Some grilling examples are included
in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with
the oven door closed.
GRATIN
mode
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination
of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the
oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat
to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door
closed.
Practical cooking advice
!
Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted cooking. Excessive
direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
!
In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position
1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating
element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on.
PIZZA
• For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-COOKING mode.
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming
by extending 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.
