Keep warm phase
Tokeep food you have just cooked warm, the oven keeps
theinternalfan on at the end of all cooking modes that fore-
seetheuse of the fan. The forcedcirculationof air will stop
when knob “B” is set to position 0 or when the oven has
cooleddown.
The Cooking Modes:
Convection a
Position the temperature selector “C” between 40°C and
250°C.
Thetopandbottomheatingelementsareused.Inthismode,
the coolest part of the oven is the centre. The convection
ovenisbestforcookingdishesmadeupofseveralingredi-
ents,e.g. tender veal strips with rice, braised meats,stews,
goulash etc.) and dishes that need to cook slowly and re-
quirebasting ortheadditionof liquidandcookingusing cov-
ered casserole dishes for oven baking. When cooking in
convection mode, only use one baking tray or shelf at a
time,otherwise the heatdistribution will beuneven. Using
the different shelf position available, you can balance the
amountof heatbetweenthetop and thebottomofthe oven.
Select from among the various shelf positions based on
whetherthedishneedsmoreorlessheatfromthetop.

Position the temperature control “C”: between 40°C and
250°C.
Therearheatingelementandthefancomeon,guaranteeing

Thismode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods -
especiallycakes that need torise - and forthe preparation
ofcertaintartletson3shelvesatthesametime.Hereare a
few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits,
savourypuffs,Swissrollsandsmall portions of vegetables
augratin,etc…..
“Fast cooking” Mode v
Position the temperature control “C”: between 40°C and
250°C.
Allthe heatingelementsandthe fancomeon,guaranteeing
constantheatdistributeduniformlythroughouttheoven.
Thismodeisespeciallyrecommendedforcookingpre-packed
foodquickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), suchas for
example: frozen or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few
“home-made”dishes.
Thebestresultswhencookingusingthe“Fastcooking”mode
areobtainedif you use one cookingshelf only (the second
from the bottom), please see the table entitled “Cooking
Advice”.
Multi-cooking Mode b
Position the temperature control “C”: between 40°C and
250°C.
Alltheheatingelementsandthefan,will comeon.Since the
heatremainsconstantand uniformthroughoutthe oven,the
aircooksand browns food uniformly over its entire surface.
With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the
sametime,aslongastheir respectivecookingtemperatures
arethe same. A maximum of 2 shelvescan be used at the
sametime,followingtheinstructionsinthesectionentitled:
“CookingOnMoreThanOneShelf”.
ThisMulti-cookingmodeisparticularlyrecommendedfordishes
requiringa gratin finish or for those requiringconsiderably
prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne,
pastabakes, roast chicken and potatoes,etc… Moreover,
theexcellent heatdistributionmakes itpossibletouse lower
temperatureswhen cooking roasts. This resultsinlessloss
ofjuices, meat which is moretender and a decreasein the
lossofweightfortheroast.TheMulti-cooking modeisespe-
ciallysuited forcookingfish,which canbepreparedwith the
additionof a limited amount of condiment, thus maintaining
theirflavourandappearance.
TheMulti-cooking mode is also perfectforbakingleavened
cakes.
Moreover,this mode canalsobeused to thawquicklywhite
orredmeat and bread by setting the temperature control to
80 °C. Defrosting - this mode can be used to thaw more
delicate foods, set the temperature control to 60°C or use
onlythecoldaircirculationfeaturebysettingthetemperature
controlto0°C.
Pizza Mode w
Position the temperature control “C”: between 40°C and
250°C.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the
fan,will come on. Thiscombination rapidly heats theoven
due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance
(2800 W), which results in the production of considerable
heatcomingmostlyfromthebottom.
Thepizzamodeisidealforfoodsrequiringhightemperatures
tocook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one baking
tray or shelf at a time. However, if more than one is used,
these must be switched halfway through the cooking
process.
Grill d/ 2
Positionthetemperature control “C”:between 1 and 5.
(1being the minimum setting and5beingthemaximum).
Thetop centralheatingelementand the rotisseriecomeon.
Theextremelyhighand directtemperatureofthegrill makes
it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while
locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also
highlyrecommendedfordishes thatrequirea hightempera-
tureonthe surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-
burgersetc...
Alwaysleave the ovendoor ajar duringcooking, except
whenusingthe rotisserie.
Somegrillingexamplesareincludedin the“CookingAdvice”
section.
Gratin e/ x
Position the temperature control “C”: between 40°C and
250°C.
Thetop central heating element,the fan and therotisserie
comeon.
Thiscombination of features increases the effectiveness of
theunidirectionalthermal radiation of the heating elements
throughforcedcirculationoftheairthroughouttheoven.This
helpspreventfoodfromburningonthesurface, allowingthe
heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,

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 youwilllearnto makethebestuse ofthisversatile
cookingappliance and the followingareonlyaguide, which
maybe varied according toyour own personal taste.
Cooking on More Than One Shelf
Ifyou have to cookfood on several shelves,use either the
“baking” mode uor the b“Multi-cooking” mode, as
these are the only modes that allow you to do so.
Whencookingdelicatefoodonmorethanone shelf,usethe
“baking” mode,uwhich allowsyoutocook on 3 shelves
at the same time (the 1st, 3rd and 5th from the bottom).
Someexamples are included in the “Cooking Chart”.
Whencookingotherfoodonseveralshelves,usethe“Multi-
cooking” mode bkeeping the following suggestions in
mind:
• The oven is fitted with 5 shelves. During fan assisted
cooking,use two of the threecentralshelves;thelowest
andhighestshelvesreceivethehot airdirectlyandthere-
foredelicate foodstuffs could beburntontheseshelves.
• As a general rule, use the 2nd and 4th shelf from the
bottom,placing the foodstuffs thatrequire greater heat
on the 2nd shelf from the bottom. For example, when
cookingmeatroaststogether with other food, place the
roaston the 2nd shelf position from thebottom and the
moredelicate foodonthe4th shelf positionfromthebot-
tom.
• When cooking food that require differing times and
temperatures, set a temperature that is somewhere
betweenthe two temperatures required, place the more
delicate food on the 4th shelf position from the bottom
andtake thefoodrequiringless timeoutofthe ovenfirst.
• Usethe baking tray on the lower shelf position and the
shelfontheupper;
Using the “Fast Cooking” Mode
Functional,fast and practical for thoseof you who use
frozenorpre-cookedfoodalongwithotherfooditems.You
willfinduseful suggestions in the “Cooking Chart” .
Using the Grill
The“7Chefs”ovenoffersyouseveraldifferentgrillingmodes.
Use the d/ 2“grill” mode, with the oven door ajar,
placingthe food in thecentreofthegrill pan (situated onthe
3rdor4thshelffromthebottom).
When using this mode, we recommend you set the tem-
peraturecontrolto the highest setting. Lower temperatures
canalso be set,simplybysetting the temperaturecontrolto
thetemperaturerequired.
Inmodelsfittedwitharotisserie2,youcanusethespitkit
provided when using the “grill” mode. In this case, cook
withthe oven doorshut,placingthe spit kitonthethirdoven
shelffrom thebottomandthe grillpanonthe bottomshelfto
collectanysauceand /or dripping fat.
Setting e/ x“Gratin”, is extremely useful for grilling
foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat makes it possible
not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom
part.
Moreover,it can also be usedforbrowningfoodsatthe end
ofthe cooking process, suchas adding that gratinfinish to
pasta bakes.
When using this mode, place the shelf on the 2nd or 3rd
shelfposition from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to
preventfatandgreasefromdrippingontothebottomofthe
ovenand thus smoke from forming,place a baking trayon
the1st shelf positionfromthebottom.
Important:always cook in “Gratin” mode with theoven
door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent re-
sultsand to save on 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,simplybyadjusting thethermostatknob tothedesired
temperature.
Inmodels fitted with a rotisseriex, you can usethe spit kit
providedwhen using the “gratin”mode. In this case,place
thespit kitonthe thirdshelfpositionfrom thebottomand the
bakingtrayonthebottomshelftocollectanysauceand/or
drippingfat.

CookingFish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature
settingsfrom180 °C to 200 °C.
Forredmeat that should be welldone on the outside while
tenderandjuicyintheinside,itisagoodideatostartwitha
hightemperaturesetting(200°C-220°C)forashorttime,then
turntheoven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature
setting.Placethemeatonthe centre of the shelf and place
thegrillpan/bakingtraybeneathittocatchthefat.
Makesurethattheshelfisinsertedsothatitisinthecentreof
the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat
frombelow,usethelowshelfpositions.
CookingPizza
For best results when cooking pizza, use setting wfor “
Pizza Mode”:
• Preheattheoven for at least 10 minutes
• Usea light aluminium pizza pan, placing it on 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;
• Donot open the oven doorfrequently while the pizzais
cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we
recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top
halfwaythroughthe cooking process.
• If cooking on more than one shelf (up to 2), we advise
youtousethe Multi-cookingModebas thePizzaMode
wwouldheatthe bottom shelf more thanthe others.
