Convection Mode

Onthissetting, the top and bottomheatingelements come
on.This is the classic, traditional type of oven which has
been perfected, with exceptional heat distribution and re-
duced energy consumption. The convection oven is still
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made up of
severalingredients, e.g. cabbagewith ribs, localstockfish
recipes, tender veal with rice, etc... Excellent results are
achieved when preparing beef- or veal-based dishes as
well: braised meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.,
whichneed to cookslowly and require bastingor the addi-
tion of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best system for
cooking pastries as well as fruit and cooking casseroles
in the oven.When cooking in convection mode, use only

on several racks. Using the different rack heights avail-
able,you can balance theamount of heat betweenthe top
and the bottom of the oven. Select from among the vari-
ous rack heights based on whether the dish needs more
or less heat from the top.

Theheatingelementsandthefancomeonalternately.Since
theheat remainsconstantanduniformthroughout theoven,
the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire sur-
face. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at
thesametime, aslongastheirrespectivecooking tempera-
tures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be used at
the same time, following the instructions in the section enti-
tled:“CookingOn MoreThanOneRack”.
This cooking mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring
considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for
example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and
potatoes,etc… Moreover,theexcellentheat distribution
makes it possible to use lower temperatures when
cooking roasts.This results in less loss of juices,meat
which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of
weightof theroast.TheMulti-cooking modeis especially
suitedforcookingfish,whichcanbeprepared with the
addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus
maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent

side dishes like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc.
Desserts:thismodeis also perfect for baking leavened
cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white

Cooling ventilation
In order to reduce the temperature of the exterior of the
oven, some models are fitted with a cooling fan that gen-
erates a flow of air that can be heard exiting between the
ovendoor and the control panel.
Note:When cooking is done,the fan stays on until the
oven cools down sufficiently.
Note:In“Fastcooking”andin“Baking”mode, thefancomes
on automatically only when the oven is hot.
Warning:theapplianceisfittedwithadiagnosissystemwhich
detects any malfunctions.The user is informed of the latter
by messages such as “Er

” (
xy
=numerical code be-
tween 01 and 99). In these cases, you need to call for
technical assistance as the oven is faulty.
HowTo UseYour Oven
Note: When the oven door is locked (for example, right
after a FAST CLEAN programme has been completed), it
is not possible to start cooking due to the high tempera-
ture inside the oven. The display will indicate this status
by means of the word “HOT”.You will only be able to cook
again once the “key” symbol has gone off.
Turn knob “L” to select the desired cooking mode.
The oven will immediately start the pre-heating phase,
during which the icon m will flashon the display, and the
cooking temperature associated with the mode selected
will be displayed: should this value not be the one you
desire, you can modify it simply by turning knob “M”.
