8. COOKING WITH THE OVEN

The ECO symbol indicates which function gives the least energy consumption.
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 or thermal
radiation 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.
BOTTOM:
The heat coming just from the bottom allows to complete the cooking of foods that
require a longer basic cooking time, without affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. This symbol also includes the cleaning function, see
"9.6 VAPOR CLEAN: assisted oven cleaning (on some models only)".
SMALL GRILL:
Using only the heat released from the central element, this function allows to grill
small portions of meat and fish for making kebabs, toasted sandwiches and any
types of grilled vegetable side dishes.
GRILL:
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin
and medium thickness meat and in combination with the rotisserie (where present)
gives the food an even browning at the end of the cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs
and bacon. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be
th th
grilled evenly. (4 or 5 runner).
FAN-ASSISTED GRILL:
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving
perfect grilling even to very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g. shin of
th
pork). We recommend using the 4 runner.
TURBO:
The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows to cook
different foods on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level cooking, we recommend
nd th
using the 2 and 4 runners.)
CIRCULAR:
The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the
oven) allows to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same
temperatures and cooking time. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform
distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and
biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing smells and flavours.
DEFROSTING:
Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan to ensure uniform distribution of air
st nd
inside the oven. (We recommend using the 1 or 2 runner).
