OFF
For switching off the oven.
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking meat or baking cakes with liquid
centre on a single shelf.
CONVECTION BAKE
For cooking meat or baking cakes with liquid
centre on a single shelf.
FORCED AIR
For cooking different foods that require the
same cooking temperature on several shelves
(maximum three) at the same time. This function
can be used to cook different foods without odours
being transferred from one food to another.
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 pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml of
drinking water.
TURBO GRILL
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a drip tray to
collect the cooking juices: Position the pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 500 ml
of drinking water. The turnspit (if provided) can be
used with this function.
MAXI COOKING
For cooking 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.
We suggest turning the meat during cooking
to obtain uniform browning on both sides. It is
advisable to baste the meat every now and again so
that it does not become too dry.
FAST PREHEATING
For preheating the oven quickly.
ECO FORCED AIR*
For cooking stuffed roasting joints and fillets
of meat on a single shelf. Food is prevented from
drying out excessively by gentle, intermittent air
circulation.
To use the ECO cycle and therefore optimise power
consumption, the oven door should not be opened
until the food is completely cooked.

4. HEAT THE OVEN
A new oven may release odours that have been left
behind during manufacturing: This is completely
normal.
Before starting to cook food, we therefore
recommend heating the oven with it empty in order
to remove any possible odours.
Remove any protective cardboard or transparent
film from the oven and remove any accessories from
inside it.
Heat the oven to 200 °C for around one hour, ideally
using a function with air circulation (e.g. “Forced Air”
or “Convection Bake”).
Follow the instructions for setting the function
correctly.
Please note: It is advisable to air the room after using the
appliance for the rst time.
SLOW SLOW COOKING
For cooking meat and fish gently
while keeping them tender and succulent. We
recommend searing roasting joints in a pan first
to brown the meat and help seal in its natural
juices. Cooking times range from two hours for
fish weighing 300 g to four or five hours for fish
weighing 3 kg,
and from four hours for joints of meat weighing 1 kg
to six or seven hours for joints of meat weighing 3
kg.
