liquid fillings use the 1st or 2nd level. Preheat the oven
before placing food inside.
CONVECTION BAKE
For baking cakes with liquid filling (sweet or
savoury) on a single shelf. This function can also be used
for cooking on two shelves. Switch the position of the
dishes to cook food more evenly. Use the 3rd shelf to
cook on one shelf only, and the 1st and 4th to cook on
two shelves. Preheat the oven before cooking.
• GENTLE FAN
For cooking meat, filled pies (cheesecake, strudel, fruit
pies) and stuffed vegetables on one level only. This
function uses discontinuous, delicate fan assistance,
which prevents excessive drying of foods.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages, cooking
vegetables au gratin or toasting bread. When grilling
meat, we recommend using a drip tray to collect the
cooking juices: Position the tray on any of the levels
below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of drinking water.

chicken). We recommend using a drip tray to collect

the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of

used with this function.
MAXI COOKING
To cook large joints of meat (above 2.5 kg). Use
the 1st or 2nd shelves, depending on the size of the
joint. The oven does not have to be preheated. It is
advisable to turn the meat over during cooking for
more even browning. It is best to baste the meat every
now and again to prevent it from drying out.

When "ECO" mode is active the brightness of the display will
be reduced to save energy and lamp switches off after 1
minute. It will be reactivated automatically whenever any of
the buttons are pressed.

predefined settings. Just indicate the required values
(temperature and time) and the oven will automatically
manage the optimum cooking cycle. Place the dough
