bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc… 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 Multi-cooking mode is
especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared
with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus
maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent results
can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes
like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc.
Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white
or red meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C.
To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or
use only the cold air circulation feature by setting the
thermostat to 0°C.
Grill 2
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 50% and 100%.
The top heating element and the turnspit (where present)
come 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...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking, except
when using the turnspit.
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking
Advice” paragraph.
Turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the different
energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%)
and maximum (100%) settings.
Gratin T
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The top heating element, the fan and the turnspit (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. Excellent results are
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail,
pork chops, etc.
All “gratin” cooking must be done with the oven door shut.
The “gratin” mode is ideal for cooking grouper steaks, tuna,
swordfish, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
Pizza Mode w
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the
fan, will come on. This combination rapidly heats the oven
due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance
(2800 W), which results in the production of considerable
heat coming prevalently from the bottom.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures
to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one oven tray
or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these
must be switched halfway through the cooking process.
Baking Mode u
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing
delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especially cakes that need to rise - and for the preparation of
certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same time. Here are a few
examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury
puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin,
etc…..
“Fast cooking” Mode v
Position of thermostat knob “C”: Between 40°C and 250°C.
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing
constant heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is especially recommended for cooking pre-
packed food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such
as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a
few “home-made” dishes.
The best results when cooking using the “Fast cooking” mode
are obtained if you use one cooking rack only (the second
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical
Cooking Advice”.
“Defrosting” ModeU
Position of thermostat knob “C”: any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the air
circulate at room temperature around the food. This is
recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in
particular for delicate types of food which do not require
heat, such as for example: ice cream cakes, cream or
custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using the fan, the
defrosting time is approximately halved. In the case of
meat, fish and bread, it is possible to accelerate the
process using the “multi-cooking” mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.
The turnspit (only available on certain models)
To start the turnspit, proceed as follows:
a) place the oven tray on the 1st rack;
b) insert the special turnspit support on the 3rd rack and
position the spit by inserting it through the special hole
into the turnspit at the back of the oven;
c) start the turnspit using knob “B” to select setting
