Automatic cooking functions
The temperature and cooking duration are pre-
set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time -
automatically. These values are set using the
C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system.
The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven
indicates when the dish is cooked. The cooking
duration may be modified by a period of several
minutes, as specified in the description of the
individual functions below.
ROAST function
Use this function to cook veal, pork, lamb and beef.
Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold.
The dish may also be placed in a preheated oven. It
will only be possible to adjust the duration by -10/
+10 minutes.
BAKED CAKES function
This function is ideal for baking cakes. Place the
food inside the oven while it is still cold. The dish
may also be placed in a preheated oven. It will only
be possible to adjust the duration by -10/+15
minutes.
BREAD function
Use this function to make bread. Please see the
following chapter for the recipe and further details.
To achieve the best possible results, we recommend
that you carefully observe the instructions below:
• Follow the recipe.
• Remember to pour 150 g (150 ml) of cold water
into the baking tray, which should be placed in
position 7.
Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. If
you wish to place the food in the oven after it has
been preheated, immediately following a high-
temperature cooking programme, the text “Hot” will
appear on the display until the temperature of the
oven has fallen to 40°. At this point it will be
possible to place the bread in the oven.
PIZZA function
Use this function to make pizza. Please see the
following chapter for further details. It will only be
possible to adjust the duration by -5/+12 minutes.
To achieve the best possible results, we recommend
that you carefully observe the instructions below:
• Follow the recipe.
• The weight of the dough should be between 350 g
and 500 g.
• Lightly grease the dripping pan and the baking
trays.
Universal cooking functions
All functions have a default cooking temperature
which may be adjusted manually to a value between
40°C and 250°C as desired.
For the BARBECUE function, the default power level
value is indicated as a percentage (%) and may also
be adjusted manually.
MULTILEVEL function
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since
the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air
cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A
maximum of four racks may be used at the same time.
If you are using several racks at the same time, we
recommend you place the dripping pan on the lower
rack. If you are cooking on 4 levels at the same time,
we recommend you place the shelves on racks 3, 5
and 6 and the dripping pan on rack 1.
GRATIN function
The top heating element are activated and the fan
begins to operate. During part of the cycle the
circular heating element is also activated. This
combination of features increases the effectiveness
of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by
the heating elements through the 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.
BARBECUE function
The top heating element are activated. By turning
the TEMPERATURE knob, the different power levels
which may be set will appear on the display; these
range between 5% and 100%. 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.
LOW TEMPERATURE function
This type of cooking can be used for proving,
defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the
required speed and slow cooking at low
temperatures. The temperature options are: 40, 65
and 90 °C.
FAST CLEAN mode
This mode cleans the oven automatically and
thoroughly by pyrolysis (see Maintenance and care).
! The default setting is 90 minutes.
