The Multifunction oven combines in a single appliance the
advantages of traditional convection ovens with those of
modern forced air ventilation ovens.
It is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to easily
and safely choose between 5 different cooking modes. The
various features are selected by means of the selector knob
(B) and the thermostat knob (C) on the control panel.
Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend
that you set the thermostat on the hightest setting and leave
the oven on for about a half of an hour with nothing in it.
Then, open the oven door and let the room air. The odour
that is often detected during this initial use is due to the
evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during
storage and until it is installed.
Convection Mode
Set the termostat knob (C) between 60°C and Max.
The outer heating elements at both the top and the bottom
of the oven will come on. The heat is distributed uniformly
from the top to the bottom. The convection mode is
recommended for preparing meat-based dishes featuring
beef or veal which require slow cooking with the addition
of liquids. It still remains the best cooking mode for dry
pastries and fruit in general. When cooking in convection
mode, only use one drip pan or cooking rack at a time,
otherwise the the heat distribution with be uneven. Select
from among the various rack heights based on the whether
the dish needs more or less heat from the top or bottom.
Ventilation Mode
Set the thermostat knob (C) between 60°C and Max.
Both the heating elements and the fan will come on. Since
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the
oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its
entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various
dishes at the same time, as long as their respective
cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack
levels can be used at the same time, following the
instructions in the section entitled, "Cooking On More Than
One Rack".
This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those
which require an extended cooking time.
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible
to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This
results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender
and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast.
The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish,
which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount
of condiments, thus maintaining their flavor and
appearance.
The ventilated mode can also be used to thaw white or
red meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to
80°-100°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the termostat
to 60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.
