temperature of the grill is recommended for food which
GB
requires a high surface temperature. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
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. Always cook
in this mode with the oven door closed.
SPEEDY BARBECUE mode
This mode can be used to cook the perfect barbecue in your
oven. It quickly produces flawless results when grilling meat,
fish and vegetables, without creating smoke. The temperature
is set by default to 270°C; cooking durations, which may be
set as desired, are recommended for various dishes and are
listed in the cooking advice table (see Cooking advice table).
FREASY COOK mode
Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This
mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are
achieved using one cooking rack only.
PIZZA mode
This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a
considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at
the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the
position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process.
KEEP WARM mode
This type of cooking mode can be used to keep hot,
previously-cooked foods warm, or to reheat dishes. The
temperature is set by default to 65°C and cannot be adjusted.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
! In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when
using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 1
to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).
MULTI-COOKING
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires
more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.
GRILL
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food in the
centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum.
The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat
and may not always operate constantly.
SPEEDY BARBECUE
• Position the rack on level 4 and the dripping pan on level 1.
• This is the accessory configuration you should use if you
wish to achieve perfect barbecued results for every type
of dish, without creating smoke or making the appliance
dirty. When you have finished cooking, all excess fat will
have collected in the dripping pan with the water and the
accessories will be very easy to clean.
