• COOKING MODE
All cooking should be carried out with the door closed.
BOTTOM + FAN - The combination of the bottom heating
element and fan is ideal for fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pastries. It
prevents food from becoming too dry and encourages bread dough to rise.
Place the shelf in the bottom position in the oven.
BOTTOM - Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry
based dishes. Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pâté and any cooking that
needs more heat and radiation from below.
BOTTOM + TOP - Both top and bottom heating elements are in
use. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking.When
cooking red meat, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread or foil wrapped
foods.
BOTTOM + TOP + FAN - Both top and bottom heating elements
are used in conjunction with the fan, which circulates hot air throughout the
oven.We recommend this method for poultry, pastries, fish and
vegetables. By using this method better heat penetration is achieved and
cooking and preheating times are also reduced. The fan cooking option
allows you to cook different foods together at different positions in the oven
all at the same time, providing even heat distribution but without the risk of
mingling tastes and smells. When cooking different foods at the same time
allow a further 10 minutes.
CIRCULAR HEATING ELEMENT + FAN - Air that has been
heated is blown by the fan onto the different levels. It is ideal for cooking
different types of food at the same time (e.g. Meet and fish) without mixing
tastes and smell. It cooks very gently and is ideal for sponge cakes,
pastries, etc.
GRILL - Using the top heating element. Success is guaranteed
for mixed grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. The grill should be pre-heated to
a high temperature for 5 minutes. White meats should always be placed at
some distance from the grill element, the cooking time is slightly longer but
the meat will be more succulent. Red meat and fish fillets can be placed
directly onto the shelf with the drip tray placed beneath on lower shelf
position.

GRILL + FAN - The top heating element is used in conjunction
Booster
with the fan which circulates the hot air around the oven. Pre heating is
recommended for red meats but is not necessary for white meats. Grilling
Booster
is ideal for cooking thicker food items such as pork or poultry. Food to be
grilled should be placed directly at the centre of the middle shelf.
By sliding the drip tray underneath the shelf it will ensure that any juices are
collected. For best results always make sure that the food is not too close
to the grill element and turn the food over half way through the cooking
time.

GRILL + TURNSPIT + FAN - The advantage of using the top
oven element at the same time as the fan and rotisserie is that the food is
evenly cooked, preventing it from becoming dry and tasteless. The
rotisserie is programmed to continue rotating for approximately five
minutes after cooking, making full use of the residual oven heat.No pre-
heating is required for rotisserie cooking.
DEFROST - When the dial is set to this position. The fan
circulates hot air around the frozen food so that it defrosts in a few minutes
without the protein content of the food being changed or altered.
The temperature is preset in 40°C constant, no regulation is possible.
KEEP WARM - This is reccomended to reheat precooked
foodstuff, positioning the shelf on the second level from top, or to defrost
bread pizza or pastry by positioning the shelf on the lower level.
The temperature is preset in 60°C constant, no regulation is possible.
PIZZA - With this function hot air circulated in the oven to ensure
perfect result for dishes such as pizza or cake.
