THE COOKING FUNCTION SELECTOR
It comprises 10 marks represented in order by the following
pictograms:
«0» : stop
: oven light
The oven light stays on during cooking, in whatever
cooking mode (with the exception of Fast Clean).
If you decide to delay the cooking start, the oven light
comes on as soon as you programme the start and stays
on until the cooking is finished.
: "Traditional"
This cooking mode is suitable for cooking individual dishes.
Two heating elements (one at the top of the oven and the
other at the bottom) work together.
The air heats up upon contact with these heat sources,
and circulates around the inside of the oven to provide
uniform heat, as the hot, lighter air tends to rise. This is
caused by natural convection. This cooking mode is
especially recommended when cooking simmered recipes
using covered casserole dishes (hotpots, tripe, etc.) or
for Bain Marie cooking (crème caramel, terrines, etc.).
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2
nd
shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
: "Pastry"
Only the circular heating element at the back of the oven
and the fan come on to provide delicate heat, suitable for
baking cakes and pastries such as brioches, chocolate
cake, fruitcake, sponge cake, mini cup cakes, meringues,
etc.
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2
nd
shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
: "Fast cooking"
The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This particular cooking mode is ideal for fast cooking
(not requiring any pre-heating) and for cooked dishes
(frozen, pre-cooked food).
In this case, use the baking tray as a dish support and
place it on the 2nd shelf position from the oven bottom.
: "Multicooking"
The combination of all the heating elements together with
the fan guarantees a uniform distribution of heat throughout
the oven.
This cooking mode is recommended for cooking several
dishes on more than one shelf.
Even if the dishes vary in nature, their respective flavours
are maintained during cooking.
When using this cooking mode, all the dishes should
require the same cooking temperature (you just need to
take them out gradually as each one is ready). When
cooking on two shelves, for example, use the baking tray
as a dish support on the first shelf position from the bottom
and the shelf on the third shelf position from the bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
: "Pizza"
The heating elements (bottom and circular) are turned on
to heat the oven up quickly.
Your pizzas and tarts will benefit from a greater amount
of heat from below, thus guaranteeing the rapid baking of
the dough during cooking. As for the fan, the latter browns
the surface as necessary, making the food even more
appetising.
Use the baking tray as a dish support and place it on the
1st shelf position from the oven bottom.
We recommend you pre-heat the oven before placing your
dishes in it.
