! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for
• BARBECUE (recommended: set only to MAX power
level);
• GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C).
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.
PIZZA mode
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as
the fan, will 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.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element and the rotisserie (where
present) come on.
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 and the
rotisserie (where present) 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.

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.
The Rotisserie (only available on certain models)
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 .
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 and 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).
MULTI-COOKING
• Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires
more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
BARBECUE
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power
level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.
