Conventional with Fan
Suitable for roasts and cakes. The fan spreads
the heat evenly throughout the inside of the
oven to reduce cooking time and temperature.
Turbo
The fan spreads the heat coming from an
element located at the back of the oven. As a
result of the evenly distributed temperature,
food can be cooked on two levels at the same
time.
Pizza
Ideal for baking pizzas, pies, and fruit tarts or
sponges.
Slow cooker
Designed to cook casseroles, stews, etc, in
the traditional way, and for all recipes
specifying long cooking times and low heat.
For the best results, we recommend using
covered casserole pans with lids, first making
sure that they can be used in the oven.
Defrosting
Conventional
This function is for use when baking cakes,
where the heat should be even to give a
spongy texture.
Lower Element
Heat only comes from beneath. Suitable for
warming plates or letting dough rise.
Grill and Lower Element
Ideal for roasts. This function can be used with
any size joints of meat.
Grill
Toasting and browning. This function allows
the surface to be cooked without affecting the
inside of the food. Suitable for flat pieces such
as steaks, ribs, fish and toasts.
Maxigrill
For toasting larger surfaces than possible with
the Grill function, in addition to greater
toasting power for faster food browning.
MaxiGrill with Fan
For even roasting and simultaneous surface
browning. Ideal for mixed grills. Perfect for
bulky pieces such as poultry and game. The
meat should be placed on the oven grid with
the tray below to collect meat juices.
Caution
The door must be closed during use with Grill,
MaxiGrill or MaxiGrill with Fan.

Recommendations for Defrosting Food
The defrost function works by means of a
2-level system of hot air. HI is for meats in
general and LO is for fish, cakes, pastries and
bread. When selecting the defrost function,
select HI or LO on the temperature display by
pressing on the temperature sensor and
then the or sensors.
• Unpackaged food should be placed on the
oven tray or on a dish.
• Defrost large pieces of meat or fish by
placing them over the grid with a tray
underneath to collect any liquid.
• Meat and fish do not need to be completely
thawed before cooking. Condiments can be
added once the surface is soft.
• Food should always be cooked after
defrosting.
• Do not refreeze defrosted food.
See the following chart for defrosting times and temperature levels:
The times shown in the chart are a guide. The time needed for defrosting will depend on the
temperature of the room, weight of the food and how frozen it is.

Use of the meat probe
The meat probe measures the temperature
inside the roast. When this temperature reach-
es a previously set level, the oven will turn off

ensures optimum results for any type of meat
or size of roast.
Placing the meat probe
• Use only the original meat probe.
• Place the probe before roasting begins.
• Insert the probe into the side of the roast so
that the point reaches its centre.
• Insert the entire probe, up to the handle.
• It is recommended to turn the roast over
half-way through cooking. Bear this in mind
when placing the probe to avoid problems
with it later.
• The point of the probe must not be touching
the bone or fatty areas. Also, it should not
be in a hollow area, which could happen
with poultry.
Use of the meat probe
• Put the roast with the probe already in it into
the oven.
• Plug the probe into the socket in the upper
left side of the oven.
• When you plug it in, you will see a
recommended temperature (65 oC) on the
probe temperature display (3) on the control
panel.
• If you want to change the recommended
temperature, touch the sensor (17) and
then the sensors or .
• You will hear two beeps confirming the new
temperature selected.
