3.2 Cooking Modes

Function
Dial
LAMP: Turns on the oven light.
DEFROST: When the dial is set to this position. The fan circulates air at room temperature around
the frozen food so that it defrosts in a few minutes without the protein content of the food being
changed or altered.
FAN COOKING: We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables.
Heat penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and preheating times are reduced. You
can cook different foods at the same time with or without the same preparation in one or more
positions. This cooking method gives even heat distribution and the smells are not mixed.
Allow about ten minutes extra when cooking foods at the same time.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING: Both top and bottom heating elements are used. Preheat the oven for
* about ten minutes. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting and baking. For seizing red
meats, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread, foil wrapped food (papillotes), flaky pastry. Place the
food and its dish on a shelf in mid position.
FAN + LOWER ELEMENT: The bottom heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside
the oven. This method is ideal for juicy fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pâté.
It prevents food from drying and encourages rising in cakes, bread dough and other bottom-cooked
food.
Place the shelf in the bottom position.
FAN ASSISTED GRILL : use the turbo-grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven. Preheating is
*
necessary for red meats but not for white meats. Ideal for cooking thick food items, whole pieces
such as roast pork, poultry, etc. Place the food to be grilled directly on the shelf centrally, at the
middle level. Slide the drip tray under the shelf to collect the juices. Make sure that the food is not
too close to the grill. Turn the food over halfway through cooking.
GRILL: use the grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used alone and you can adjust the temperature. Five minutes
preheating is required to get the elements red-hot. Success is guaranteed for grills, kebabs and
gratin dishes. White meats should be put at a distance from the grill; the cooking time is longer, but
the meat will be tastier. You can put red meats and fish fillets on the shelf with the drip tray
underneath. The oven has two grill positions:
