Main oven functions
Static
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Traditional cooking,
also known as static cooking, is
suitable for cooking just one dish at
a time. Perfect for all types of roasts,
bread and cakes, and in any case,
particularly suitable for fatty meats
such as goose and duck.
Rapid defrost
Rapid defrost is helped by the
activation of a fan to ensure uniform
distribution of room temperature air
inside the oven. Perfect for any type
of food.
