Cooking modes
! All cooking modes have a default cooking
temperature which may be adjusted manually
between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value
is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also be
adjusted manually.
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. With 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.
MULTI-COOKING mode
All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular), as
well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat remains
constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and
browns food uniformly. A maximum of two racks may
be used at the same time.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element come on. By pressing "+" and
"-" on the right side of the control panel, the power
levels that may be set will appear on the
TEMPERATURE display; these range between 50%
and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill
is recommended for food that requires high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element as well as the fan 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.
PIZZA mode
The heating elements (bottom and circular) and the
fan come on. This combination heats the oven rapidly
by producing a considerable amount of heat,
particularly from the bottom element. If you use more
than one rack simultaneously, switch the position of
the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
BAKING mode
The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing the distribution of heat delicately and
uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is ideal for
baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods such
as cakes that need to rise and to prepare certain
tartlets 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.
Pre-heating is not necessary for this cooking mode.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking
pre-packed food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The
best results are obtained if you use one cooking rack
only.
LEAVENING mode
The oven reaches and maintains a temperature of
40°C and cannot be changed. This mode is ideal for
leavening dough made with yeast.
FAST CLEAN mode
This mode cleans the oven automatically and
thoroughly by pyrolysis (see Maintenance and care).
