small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the
rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed
in the corners.
GRILL mode
The central part of the top heating element is
switched on. The high and direct temperature of the
grill is recommended for food that requires a high
surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet
steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a
limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling
small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the
rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed
in the corners.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element and the fan will begin to
operate. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
provided by the heating elements through forced
circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevent food from burning on the surface and allows
the heat to penetrate right into the food.
The TOP OVEN, GRILL and GRATIN cooking
modes must be performed with the oven door shut.
When using the TOP OVEN and GRILL cooking
modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease). When using the GRATIN cooking
mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the
dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking
residues.
Cooking on several shelves simultaneously
If it is necessary to use two racks, use the
MULTILEVEL cooking mode, as this is the only
cooking mode suited to this type of cooking. We
also recommend that:
Positions 1 and 5 are not used. This is because
excessive direct heat can burn temperature
sensitive foods.
Positions 2 and 4 are used and that food that
requires more heat is placed on the rack in
position 2.
When cooking foods that require different cooking
times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
halfway between the two recommended
temperatures (see Oven cooking advice table)
Using the cooking timer
1. To set the buzzer, turn the COOKING TIMER knob
clockwise almost one complete revolution.
2. Turn the knob anticlockwise to set the desired
time: align the minutes shown on the COOKING
TIMER knob with the indicator on the control panel.
3. When the selected time has elapsed, a buzzer
sounds and the oven turns off.
4. When the oven is off the cooking timer can be
used as a normal timer.
To use the oven manually, in other words when you
do not wish to use the end of cooking timer, turn the
COOKING TIMER knob until it reaches the '
symbol.
Cooking modes
A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes
between 60°C and Max, except for the following
modes
TOP OVEN and 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. When using 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 in an
uneven manner.
MULTILEVEL mode
All the heating elements (top and bottom) switch on
and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat
remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of
two racks may be used at the same time.
TOP OVEN mode
The central part of the top heating element is
switched on. The high and direct temperature of the
grill is recommended for food that requires a high
surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet
steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a
limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling
