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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
DEFROSTING mode
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the
air circulate at room temperature around the food.
This is recommended for the defrosting of all types
of food, but in particular for delicate types of food
which do not require heat, such as for example: ice
cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit
cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is
approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and
bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using
the "multi-cooking" mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
Spit roast
This accessory should only be used when cooking
with the grill. Proceed as follows: thread the meat
you wish to cook onto the rod positioned across the
oven lengthwise, fixing it in place with the adjustable
forks supplied. Position supports "A" and "B" in the
relevant holes in dripping pan "E", rest the groove on
the rod in slot "C" and use the guide rail to place the
rack in the lowest position in the oven; next position
the rod in the rotisserie spit hole, sliding the groove
forwards to slot "D" (see figures). Start the rotisserie
using the SELECTOR knob set to cooking mod
