Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes
between 60°C and Max, except for
• GRILL (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 and bottom), 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.

button again to
and
TOP OVEN mode
The top heating element comes on. This mode can be used
to brown food at the end of cooking.
GRILL mode
The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and
direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the
surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep
them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high temperature on the surface: such as beef steaks,
veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc... Some grilling examples
are included in the "Practical Cooking Advice" paragraph. Always
cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element, as well as the fan, will 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.

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 GRILL 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.
GRILL
• 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.
PIZZA
• For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-
COOKING mode.
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents
crust from forming by extending cooking time).
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway
through the cooking process.
