In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value is
GB
indicated as a percentage (%) And may also be adjusted
manually.
MULTILEVEL mode
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the
heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two
racks may be used at the same time.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element is activated. By turning the
THERMOSTAT knob, the different power levels which may
be set will appear on the DISPLAY; these range between
5% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill
is recommended for food which requires a high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door
closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element is activated and the fan begins to
operate. During part of the cycle the circular heating element
is also activated. 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.
LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting,
preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed
and slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature
options are: 40, 65, 90 °C.
