Oven cooking settings
With the cooking settings described below, you
will have several options for oven cooking. You
can use the table of cooking times provided
with this manual for optimum results.
Conventional
This setting is for use when baking cakes
where the heat should be even to give a
spongy texture.
Top heat
For when you need to heat food gently. Plate
warming.
Bottom heat
Heat only comes from beneath. Suitable for
warming plates or letting dough rise.
Grill and Lower Element
Ideal for roasts. This setting can be used with
any size joints of meat.
Grill
Toasting and browning. This setting allows the
surface to be cooked without affecting the
inside of the food. Suitable for flat pieces such
as steaks, ribs, fish and toasts.
MaxiGrill
For toasting larger surfaces than possible with
the Grill setting, in addition to greater toasting
power for faster food browning.
Grill / MaxiGrill with Fan
For even roasting and simultaneous surface
browning. Ideal for mixed grills. Perfect for
bulky pieces such as poultry and game. The
meat should be placed on the oven grid with
the tray below to collect meat juices.
Caution
The door must be closed during use with Grill,
MaxiGrill or Grill / MaxiGrill with Fan.
40
Conventional with Fan
Suitable for roasts and cakes. The fan spreads
the heat evenly throughout the inside of the
oven to reduce cooking time and temperature.
Turbo
The fan spreads the heat coming from an
element located at the back of the oven. As a
result of the evenly distributed temperature,
food can be cooked on two levels at the same
time.
Turbo + bottom heat
Ideal for baking pizzas, pies, and fruit tarts or
sponges.
Slow cooker
Designed to cook casseroles, stews, etc, in
the traditional way, and for all recipes
specifying long cooking times and low heat.
For the best results, we recommend using
covered casserole pans with lids, first making
sure they can be used in the oven.
Defrosting
See the section "Recommendations for
Defrosting Food"
Keeping warm
This setting provides the right level of heat for
keeping prepared food warm in the oven until
you are ready to serve them. Using this
setting, the oven temperature range is limited
to 50-90 o C. This setting can keep meat warm
at 60 o C in the oven. Large cuts of meat can
be warmed for 1 to 2 hours, and smaller cuts
for 30-40 minutes.
Caution
The electronic clock features Touch-Control
technology. To operate, simply touch the glass
control symbols with your fingertip.
The touch control sensitivity continuously
adapts to changing conditions. Ensure that
the glass fronted control surface is clean and
free of any obstacles when turning on the
oven.
If the clock does not respond correctly when
you touch the glass, you will need to turn off
the oven for a few seconds and then turn it
back on. By doing this, the sensors adjust
automatically and will react once more to
fingertip control.
