case when cooking leavened foods), the "fan

desired temperature as quickly as possible in order
to save on energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the
most appropriate cooking mode can then be
selected.
Cooking on More Than One Rack
If you have to cook on more than one rack at the
same time, use only the "fan assisted mode
which is the only one that is appropriate for this type
of cooking.
• The oven is fitted with 5 racks. During fan
assisted cooking, use two of the three central
racks; the lowest and highest racks receive the
hot air directly and therefore delicate foodstuffs
could be burnt on these racks.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th rack from
the bottom, placing the foodstuffs that require
greater heat on the 2nd rack from the bottom. For
example, when cooking meat roasts together with
other food, place the roast on the 2nd rack from
the bottom and the more delicate food on the 4th
rack from the bottom.
• When cooking foodstuffs that require differing
times and temperatures, set a temperature that is
somewhere between the two temperatures
required, place the more delicate food on the 4th
rack from the bottom and take the food requiring
less time out of the oven first.
• Use the dripping pan on the lower rack and the
grid on the upper;

foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it
possible not only to brown the surface, but also to
cook the bottom part.
Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at
the end of the cooking process, such as adding that
gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or
3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table)
then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto
the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from
forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from
the bottom.

results and to save on energy (approximately 10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the
thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way
to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared
rays. However, this does not mean you cannot use
lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the
thermostat knob to the desired temperature.
Therefore the best results when using the grill
modes are obtained by placing the grid on the lower
racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and
grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven
and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on
the 1st oven rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a
preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven
has been preheated thoroughly (the red light "O O O O O " will
turn off). Do not open the oven door during baking to
prevent the cake from dropping.

• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes;
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on the
grid supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is
used, this will extend the cooking time, making it
difficult to get a crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the
pizza is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four),
we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on
top halfway through the cooking process.
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd
and 4th with a temperature of 220°C and place the
pizzas in the oven after having preheated it for at
least 10 minutes.
