Defrosting Mode
Position of ther ostat knob : any
The fan located on the botto of the oven akes the
air circulate at roo te perature around the food.
This is reco ended for the defrosting of all types
of food, but in particular for delicate types of food
which do not require heat, such as for exa ple: ice
crea cakes, crea or custard desserts, fruit
cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting ti e is
approxi ately halved. In the case of eat, fish and
bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using
the ulti-cooking ode and setting the
te perature to 80° - 100°C.
Convection Mo e
Position of ther ostat knob: between 0°C and
Max.
On this setting, the top and botto heating
ele ents co e on. This is the classic, traditional
type of oven which has been perfected, with
exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy
consu ption. The convection oven is still unequalled
when it co es to cooking dishes ade up of several
ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with
rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when
preparing veal or beef-based dishes as well (braised
eats, stew, goulash, wild ga e, ha etc.) which
need to cook slowly and require basting or the
addition of liquid. It nonetheless re ains the best
syste for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking
using covered casserole dishes for oven baking.
When cooking in convection ode, only use one
dripping pan or cooking rack at a ti e, otherwise the
heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different
rack heights available, you can balance the a ount
of heat between the top and the botto of the oven.
Select fro a ong the various rack heights based
on whether the dish needs ore or less heat fro
the top.
Fan Assiste Mo e
Position of ther ostat knob: Between 0°C and
Max.
The heating ele ents, as well as the fan, will co e
on. Since the heat re ains constant and unifor
throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food
unifor ly over its entire surface. With this ode, you
can also cook various dishes at the sa e ti e, as
long as their respective cooking te peratures are
the sa e. A axi u of 2 racks can be used at the
sa e ti e, following the instructions in the section
entitled: Cooking On More Than One Rack.
This fan assisted ode is particularly reco ended
for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those
requiring considerably prolonged cooking ti es,
such as for exa ple: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast
chicken and potatoes, etc Moreover, the excellent
heat distribution akes it possible to use lower
te peratures when cooking roasts. This results in
less loss of juices, eat which is ore tender and a
decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The fan
assisted ode is especially suited for cooking fish,
which can be prepared with the addition of a li ited
a ount of condi ents, thus aintaining their flavour
and appearance.
Desserts: the fan assisted ode is also perfect for
baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this ode can also be used to thaw
quickly white or red eat and bread by setting the
te perature to 80 °C. To thaw ore delicate foods,
set the ther ostat to 60°C or use only the cold air
circulation feature by setting the ther ostat to 0°C.
Top oven
Position of ther ostat knob: Between 0°C and
Max.
The top heating ele ent co es on.
This ode can be used to brown food at the end of
cooking.
Grill
Position of ther ostat knob : Max
The top heating ele ent and the turnspit co e on.
The extre ely high and direct te perature of the grill
akes it possible to brown the surface of eats and
roasts while locking in the juices to keep the
tender. The grill is also highly reco ended for
dishes that require a high te perature on the
surface: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets,
ha burgers etc...
So e grilling exa ples are included in the Practical
Cooking Advice paragraph.
Fan Assiste Grill
Position of ther ostat knob: between 0°C and
200°C.
The top central heating ele ent and the fan co e on.
This co bination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional ther al radiation of
the heating ele ents through forced circulation of the
air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food fro
burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate
right into the food. Excellent results are achieved
with kebabs ade with eats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, la b chops, chicken in a spicy
sauce, quail, pork chops, etc..
