Cooking Advice
The oven offers a wide range of alternatives which allows
you to cook any type of food in the best possible way.
Withtime youwilllearntomake thebestuseofthis versatile
cookingappliance andthefollowingare onlyaguide, which
maybevariedaccordingtoyourownpersonaltaste.
Cooking on More Than One Shelf
Ifyouhavetocookfoodonseveralshelves,useeitherthe
“pastry” mode gor the i“Multi-cooking” mode, as
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
Whencookingdelicatefood onmorethanoneshelf,usethe
“pastry” mode,gwhichallows you tocookon 3 shelves
at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom).
Someexamplesare includedinthe“Cooking Chart”.
Whencookingotherfoodonseveralshelves,usethe“Multi-
cooking” modeikeepingthe following suggestions in
mind:
• The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted
cooking,use two ofthethree centralshelves;thelowest
andhighestshelvesreceivethehotairdirectlyandthere-
foredelicate foodstuffscouldbeburnt ontheseshelves.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the
bottom,placingthefoodstuffsthatrequiregreaterheat
on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when
cookingmeatroaststogether with other food, placethe
roastonthe2ndshelf position from the bottom and the
moredelicate foodonthe 4thshelfpositionfromthebot-
tom.
• When cooking food that require differing times and
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere
betweenthetwo temperaturesrequired,placethe more
delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom
andtake thefoodrequiringlesstime outoftheovenfirst.
• Usethe baking tray on the lower shelfposition and the
shelfonthe upper;
Using the“Fast Cooking”Mode
Functional,fastandpracticalforthoseofyouwhouse
frozenorpre-cooked food alongwithotherfood items. You
willfinduseful suggestionsinthe“Cooking Chart” .
Using the Grill
The“7Chefs”ovenoffersyouseveraldifferentgrillingmodes.
Usethe k“grill” mode,with the oven door ajar, plac-
ingthefood inthecentreof the grillpan(situatedon the3rd
or4thshelffromthe bottom), because only the central part
ofthetop heating elementisturnedon.
Tocatchany fat and/orgreasethatmay drip fromtheshelf,
place the baking tray provided on the first shelf from the
bottom.
When using this mode, we recommend you set the tem-
peraturecontrolto thehighestsetting.Lower temperatures
canalso beset,simply bysettingthe temperaturecontrolto
thetemperaturerequired.
Setting l“Gratin”,is extremely useful for grilling foods
rapidly,as thedistributionofheat makesitpossible notonly
tobrownthesurface,butalsotocookthebottompart.
Moreover,it can alsobeused forbrowningfoodsat theend
ofthecookingprocess,suchasaddingthatgratinfinishto
pasta bakes.
When using this mode, place the shelf on the 2nd or 3rd
shelfposition from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
preventfatand grease fromdrippingontothe bottom ofthe
ovenandthussmokefromforming,placeabakingtrayon
the1st shelfpositionfrom thebottom.
Important:always cook in “Gratin”mode with theoven
door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent re-
sultsandtosaveon energy (approximately 10%).
When using this mode, we advise you to set the tempera-
ture control to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use
the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. How-
ever, this does not mean you cannot use lower tempera-
tures,simply byadjustingthe temperaturecontrolto thede-
siredtemperature.

Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settingsfrom180 °Cto200°C.
Forredmeatthatshouldbe well done on the outside while
tenderandjuicy in theinside,itis a goodideatostart with a
hightemperaturesetting(200°C-220°C)forashorttime,then
turntheoven downafterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting.Placethe meat on the centreoftheshelfand place
thegrillpan/baking tray beneathittocatch the fat.
Makesurethattheshelfisinsertedsothatitisinthecentreof
the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat
frombelow,use the lowshelfpositions.
CookingPizza
Forbestresultswhencookingpizza,usesetting jfor“
Pizza Mode”:
• Preheattheovenforat least 10 minutes
• Usea light aluminium pizza pan, placing iton the shelf
supplied with the oven. If the baking tray is used, this
will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a
crispycrust;
• Donotopentheovendoorfrequentlywhilethepizzais
cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfwaythroughthe cookingprocess.
• If cooking on more than one shelf (up to 2), we advise
you to use the Multi-cooking Mode ias the Pizza
Mode jwould heat the bottom shelf more than the
others.
Cooking Advice
BakingCakes
When baking cakes, always preheat the oven. Make
sureyouwait untiltheovenhas preheated thoroughly(the
redoven indicator light"E"will goout).Donot openthe
ovendoor duringbakingtopreventthe cakefromdropping.
Ingeneral,if:
Cooked well on the inside but sticky on the
outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase
the cooking time.
The pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of
flour or use greaseproof paper.
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.
I used more than one level (in the function
"ventilated oven") 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.

especially after cooking roasts. In fact, it is advisable to
prevent food residue from building up during cooking: the
residue would be re-cooked each time the oven is used
and would char and release smoke and unpleasant
odours.
Oven exterior
Clean the enamelled or stainless steel exterior surfaces of
your oven using a sponge soaked in soapy water, making
sure you rinse and dry these thoroughly, without using
abrasive or corrosive products which could damage them.
Stainless steel
Rinse stainless steel parts and dry them thoroughly using
asoft cloth.Useaspecific non-abrasiveproductto remove
tougher stains,

To avoid having to clean the bottom of the oven, you must
never be tempted to line it with some aluminium foil. We
