BREAD mode
To obtain the best results, we recommend that you carefully
observe the instructions below:
• Follow the recipe.
• Do not exceed the maximum weight of the dripping pan.
• Remember to pour 1,5 dl of cold water into the baking
tray in position 5.
• The dough must be left to rise at room temperature for
1 – 1 ½ hours (depending on the room temperature) or
until the dough has doubled in size.
Recipe for BREAD:
1 Dripping pan holding 1000 g Max, lower level
2 Dripping pans each holding 1000 g Max, medium and
lower levels
Recipe for 1000 g of dough: 600 g flour, 360 g water, 11g
salt, 25 g fresh yeast (or 2 sachets of powder yeast)
Method:
• Mix flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Dilute yeast in lukewarm water (approximately 35
degrees).
• Make a small well in the mound of flour.
• Pour in water and yeast mixture.
• Knead dough by stretching and folding it over itself with
the palm of your hand for 10 minutes until it has a uniform
consistency and is not too sticky.
• Form the dough into a ball shape, place it in a large bowl
and cover it with transparent plastic wrap to prevent the
surface of the dough from drying out. Select the manual
LOW TEMPERATURE function on the oven and set the
temperature to 40°C. Place the bowl inside and leave the
dough to rise for approximately 1 hour (the dough should
double in volume).
• Cut the dough into equal sized loaves.
• Place them in the dripping pan on oven paper.
• Cover the loaves with flour.
• Make incisions on the loaves.
• Place the loaves inside the oven while it is still cold.
• Start the BREAD cooking mode.
• Once baked, leave the loaves on one of the grill racks
until they have cooled completely.
• For cleaning purposes, we recommend the use of water
and vinegar.

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 BARBECUE 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).
MULTILEVEL
• 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.
BARBECUE
• 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.
PIZZA
icon
• 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.
