GRILL
It allows to obtain excellent grilling and
grating results. Used at the end of
cooking, it gives a uniform browning to
the dishes.
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL
Allows optimal grilling of even the
thickest meats. Perfect for large cuts of
meat.
BOTTOM HEAT
The heat comes from the bottom of the
cavity. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and
pizzas.
CIRCULAIRE + BOTTOM
Allows you to quickly finish cooking
food that is already cooked on the
surface but not internally. Ideal for
quiches, suitable for all kinds of dishes.
PIZZA
Function designed for cooking pizza.
Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for
biscuits and cakes.
ECO
This function is particularly suitable for
cooking on a single shelf with low
energy consumption.
It is recommended for all types of food,
excluding those that can create a lot of
humidity (such as vegetables).
To obtain maximum energy savings and
reduce cooking times, it is
recommended to place food in the
oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function, avoid
opening the door during cooking.
Cooking (and preheating) times are
longer with the ECO function and may
depend on the amount of food in the
oven.
The ECO function is a delicate cooking
function and is recommended for food
withstanding temperatures lower than
210°C; in case of cooking at higher
temperatures, select another function.

Cooking advice

General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times by
increasing the temperature (the food could
be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; If not, it needs
another few minutes cooking.
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the Fan
with grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put into
the cold oven or into the preheated oven if
you wish to change the effect of the
cooking.
• When using the fan-assisted with grill
function, we recommend that you preheat
the oven before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend that
you set the temperature to the maximum
value to optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to absorb
the heat better.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency of
the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked right
through: At the end of the cooking time, put
a toothpick into the highest point of the
dessert. If the dough does not stick to the
toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes out of
the oven, on the next occasion reduce the
set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a
longer cooking time if necessary.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• Place frozen foods without their packaging
in a lidless container on the first shelf of the
oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
