Cooking modes

! 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

" symbol appears in the
"
throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly.
A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
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.
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.
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.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
