Er 02 Sensor short circuit The sensor short circuits, the oven will stop working
and the cooling fan will start.

17
Preheating
If the oven must be preheated (generally this is the case when cooking leavened
foods), use the "Ventilation mode" when possible in order to save energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the most appropriate cooking mode
can then be selected.
Using the grill
The multifunction oven offers you three different grilling modes.
Use the "Grill" setting for grilling small portions like toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, etc,
to perfection.
The "Maxigrill" position is the best for grilling foods rapidly. For a better distribution of
heat, not only to brown the surface but also to cook the bottom part, select "Ventilated
Maxigrill" function.
This mode can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process.
Important: Always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you to
attain excellent results and save energy.
When using any of the three grilling modes, it is recommended that the thermostat knob
be set to 175°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which utilizes infrared
rays). If necessary, the thermostat can be set to lower temperatures by simply turning
the knob to the desired setting.
When utilising the grill, place the rack at the lower levels (see cooking table).
To catch grease or fat and prevent smoke, place a dripping-pan at the bottom rack level.
Baking pastries
When baking pastries, always place them in the oven after it has been preheated.
Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the red "E" light will
turn off). Do not open the door while the pastry is cooking in order to prevent it from
dropping. Batters must not be too runny, as this will result in prolonged cooking times. In
general:
Pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.
Pastry dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C
Pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower rack, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
Practical Cooking Advice

18
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour.
I used more than one level and they are not all at the same cooking point
Use a lower temperature setting. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks
at the same time.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use the "Ventilation mode".
Pre-heat the oven for at least 10 minutes
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on a broiler supplied with the oven. If the dripping pan is
used, this will extend the cooking time and make 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 or four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be
placed on top half way through the cooking process.
Cooking Fish and Meat
Meat must weigh at least 1kg in order to prevent it from drying out. When cooking white meat, fowl
or fish, use low temperature settings (150°C-220°C). For red meat that should be well done on the
outside and remain tender and juicy on the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature
setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger
the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the centre of the rack and place the
dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the rack is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase
the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts (especially duck and
wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
