CONVENTIONAL
It is used for sponges and cakes where the heat received must be uniform to achieve a spongy texture.

CONVENTIONAL WITH FAN
Appropriate for roasts and cakes. The fan spreads the heat uniformly inside the oven.

GRILL AND LOWER ELEMENT
Special for roasts. It can be used for any piece, whatever its size.

MAXIGRILL
Allows greater surfaces to be prepared, than with the grill, together with higher power reducing the time required for browning of the food.

For preparing dishes with superficial roasting. It allows the outer layer to be browned without affecting the inside of the food. Ideal for flat food, such as steaks, ribs, fish, toast.

While using the Grill or MaxiGrill, the door must be kept closed.

LOWER ELEMENT
Heats only from beneath. Suitable for heating dishes and raising pastry and similar.

PIZZA
Special for cooking pizzas, pastry and fruit cakes.

The fan distributes the heat produced by an element located at the rear of the oven. Due to the uniform heat distribution, it allows roasting and baking to take place at two heights at the same time.

DEFROSTING
This function uses a two-level hot air system. LO is for fish, cakes, pastries and bread. HI (higher temperature inside the oven) is for meats in general.
