“Fast cooking”Mode 2125-2560W
The top and bottom heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on, guaranteeing constant
heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is especially recommended for
cooking prepacked food quickly (as pre-heating is not necessary), such as for example: frozen
or pre-cooked food) as well as for a few “home-made” dishes. The best results when cooking
using the “Fast cooking” mode are obtained if you use one cooking only (the second from the
bottom), please see the table entitled “Practical Cooking Advice”.
Multi-Cooking Mode 2370-2924W
The top, circle and bottom heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on alternately. Since
the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food
uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same
time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks
can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled: “Cooking On
More Than One Rack”. 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 backs, roast chicken and potatoes, etc.. Moreover the excellent heat 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 weight for the roast. The
Multi-cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the
addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavor and appearance.
Excellent results can be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes,
aubergines, peppers,etc...
Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red meat and bread by setting
the temperature to 80°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only
the cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
Pizza Mode 2772-3420W
The bottom and circle heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. This combination
rapidly heats the oven due to the large amounts of power used by the appliance, which results
in the production of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom. The pizza mode is
ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, like pizzas and large roasts. Only use one
oven tray or rack at a time. However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway
through the cooking process.
Delicate cooking 1220-1460W
The bottom heating element and the fan come on. Suitable for pastries, cakes and non-dry
sweets in baking tins or moulds. Excellent results are also obtained in cooking requiring above
all heat from the bottom. You are advised to put the pan on a low level.
“Top”oven 940-1110W
The top heating elements comes on. This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
Grill 2090-2520W
The top central heating elements comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the
grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to
keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high
temperature on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc …Some grilling
examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice ” paragraph.
Fan Assisted Grill 2100-2550W
The top central heating elements and the fan come on. This combination of features increases
the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced
circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface,
allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are achieved with kebabs
made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sause, quail,
pork chops, etc. Cook food in “fan assisted grill mode” with the oven door shut. This
mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like swordfishr, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
Setting “fan assisted grill”, 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 used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as
adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example.
When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see
cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and
thus smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom.
When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient
way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays. However, this does not mean
you cannot use lower temperatures, simply by adjusting the thermostat knob to the desired
temperature.
Therefore the best results when using the grill modes are obtained by placing the grid
on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping
onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st
oven rack from the bottom.
Baking Cakes
When baking cakes, always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the
oven has been preheated thoroughly. Do not open the oven door during baking to prevent the
cake from dropping. In general:
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.
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.
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.
Cooking Pizza.
For best results when cooking pizza, use the “Pizza Mode” :
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes ;
• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the grid supplied with the oven. If the dripping
pan is used, this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust;
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking ;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), we recommend you add the mozzarella
cheese on top halfway through the cooking process.
• When cooking pizza on two racks, use the 2nd and 4th with a temperature of 220°C and
place the pizzas in the oven after having preheated it for at least 10 minutes.
Cooking Fish and Meat
When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature setting from 180°Cto 200°C.
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is
a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn
the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. Place the meat on the
center of the grid and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat.
Make sure that the grid is inserted so that it is in the center of the oven. If you would like to
increase the amount of heat from below, use the low rack heights. For savory roasts
(especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.
