Cooking modes

! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL
programme, for which only the MAX power level is
recommended.
STATIC 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 unevenly.
OVEN BOTTOM mode
The lower heating element is activated. This position
is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes
(in baking trays) which are already cooked on the
surface but require further cooking in the centre, or
for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only
require moderate colouring on the surface. It should
be noted that this function does not allow the maximum
temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C)
and it is therefore not recommended that foods are
cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking
cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of
180°C or lower).
OVEN TOP mode
Temperature: between 50°C and Max
The oven light turns on and so does the infra-red
ray grill, and the motor starts turning the spit. The
rather high and direct temperature of the grill permits
browning the outside of meats immediately thus
keeping in the juices and assuring tenderness.
GRILL mode
Temperature: between 50°C and Max
The oven light turns on and so does the double heating
element of the grill and the motor starts turning the
spit. This grill is larger than the average and has
a completely new design: cooking performance is
increased 50%. The double grill makes sure that even
the corners are touched by heat.
! When using the grill, keep the oven door closed to
obtain the best results and save energy (about 10%).
When utilizing the grill, place the rack at the lower
levels (see cooking table). To catch grease or fat and
18
prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom
rack level.
Timer*
To activate the Timer proceed as follows:
1. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction  for
almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer.
2. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction 
to set the desired length of time.
Practical cooking advice
! In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan
in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or
grease).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place 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.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as
it prevents the crust from forming by extending the
total cooking time.
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
