Cooking modes
A temperature value between 60°C and MAX can
be set for all cooking modes except the following:
• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX
power level)
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
=
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
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 unevenly.
K 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.
L
FAST 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.
>
MULTILEVEL mode
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.
M
PIZZA mode
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.
@
/ BARBECUE mode
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.

/
N
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.
The Rotisserie *
To operate the rotisserie
(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 using the knob to select
MODE or
N
.
Practical cooking advice
Do not place racks in position 1 or 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes,
place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect
cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
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.
BARBECUE
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Make sure the
food is 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 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.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
