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).
X 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.
K
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.
W
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.
Y
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.
Z
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.
d
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.
e
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.
Timer*
To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction "
for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction
# to set the desired length of time.
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.
