Oven Functions

Switching the oven off
When the oven is turned off, the cooking
function indicator goes out and the word "OFF"
appears on the temperature display.
Oven light
Lights up the inside of the oven. The light also
comes on when a cooking function is in
progress. If you do not want the light to come
on while cooking (to save energy), turn the
function selection control until the symbol
flashes. The oven light will proceed to go out
after a short pause.
Conventional
It is used for sponges and cakes where the
heat received must be uniform to achieve a
spongy texture.
Grill and Lower element
Special for roasts. It can be used for any
piece, whatever its size.
Grill
For preparing dishes with superficial roasting.
It allows the outer layer to be browned without
affecting the inside of the food. Ideal for flat
food, such as steaks, ribs, fish, toast.
22
MaxiGrill with fan
Allows uniform roasting at the same time as
surface browning. Ideal for grills. Special for
large volume pieces, such as poultry, game
etc. It is recommended to put the item on a
rack with a tray beneath to collect the stock
and juices.
Caution
While using the Grill or MaxiGrill with fan, the
door must be kept closed.
Turbo
The fan distributes the heat produced by an
element located at the rear of the oven. Due to
the uniform heat distribution, it allows roasting
and baking to take place at two heights at the
same time.
Conventional with fan
Appropriate for roasts and cakes. The fan
spreads the heat uniformly inside the oven.
Lower element
Heats only from beneath. Suitable for heating
dishes and raising pastry and similar.

Recommendations for thawing out frozen food
Frozen food can be thawed out using a system
of hot air with two power levels: HI for all kinds
of meat and LO for fish, pastry and bread.
When the thawing function has been chosen,
the HI and LO levels can be selected with the
temperature selection control. The level cho-
sen appears on the temperature display.
• Unpacked food should be placed on the
oven tray or in a receptacle suitable for use
in ovens.
Consult the following table for thawing times and the required thawing level:

The times given above are only an indication. Thawing times depend on room temperature, the
weight of the frozen food and the degree to which it is frozen.
• Large pieces of meat or fish should be tha-
wed out on an oven rack, placing the oven
tray underneath to collect the resulting
liquid.
• Meat and fish do not need to be thawed out
completely before cooking, and can be coo-
ked when the surface is soft enough for
seasoning.
• Once thawed out, food should always be
cooked.
