Top+bottom bake elements
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Conventional
cooking, also known as static
cooking, is suitable for cooking just
one dish at a time. Perfect for all
types of roasts, bread, and cakes, it
is also particularly suitable for fatty
meats such as goose and duck.
Broiler
The heat coming from the broiler
element gives perfect broiling
results, especially for thin and
medium thickness meat, and in
combination with the rotisserie
(when present), it gives the food an
even browning at the end of the
cooking. Perfect for sausages, ribs
and bacon. This function allows you
to broil large quantities of food,
particularly meat, evenly.
Bottom bake element
The heat radiating only from the
bottom allows you to complete the
cooking/baking of foods that
require a higher base temperature,
without affecting their browning.
Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and
pizzas.
Convection bake
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
uniform cooking even with complex
recipes. Perfect for cookies and
cakes, even when simultaneously
cooked on several levels. (For multi-
level cooking, we recommend using
the 1st and 4th level slots).
Convection broiler
The air that the fan produces softens
the set heat wave generated by the
broiler element, allowing for perfect
broiling, even of very thick foods.
Perfect for large cuts of meat (e.g.
shank of pork).
Convection bottom bake element
The combination of the fan with only
the bottom heating element allows
cooking to be completed more
rapidly. This system is
recommended for sterilizing or for
finishing off the cooking of food
already well-cooked on the
surface, but not inside, which
therefore needs a little more heat.
Perfect for any type of food.

2.5 Cooking tips
General tips
• Use a convection function to achieve
uniform cooking at several levels.
• Increasing the temperature does not
shorten cooking or baking times (the
food could be well cooked on the
outside and undercooked on the inside).
• Once cooked, to avoid condensation
from forming on the glass, don’t leave
hot food in the oven for too long.
Tips for cooking meats
• Cooking times vary depending on the
thickness and quality of the meat, and on
consumer tastes.
• Use a meat thermometer when cooking
roasts, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it feels hard, it is ready;
otherwise, it needs to roast a bit longer.
Tips for cooking with the broiler and
convection broiler
• The meat can be grilled starting with a
cold oven or with the oven preheated if
you want to change the effect of the
cooking.
• With the convection broiler function, it is
recommended that the oven be
preheated before broiling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
center of the rack.
Circular
The combination of the fan and the
circular element (incorporated in the
rear of the oven) allows you to cook
different foods on several levels, as
long as they require the same
temperature and cooking time. Air
circulation ensures instant and
uniform distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish,
vegetables and cookies
simultaneously (on different levels)
without mixing smells and flavors.
Turbo
The combination of convection
cooking and conventional cooking
allows you to cook different foods
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without mixing smells
and flavors. Perfect for large
volumes of food that call for intense
cooking. (For multi-level cooking,
we recommend using the 1st and 4th
level slots).
Circular + convection broiler
The combination of convection
cooking and traditional cooking

Tips for baking cakes and cookies
• It is preferable to use dark metal pans,
which help to absorb the heat better.
• The temperature and baking duration
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To check whether the cake is baked
through, stick a toothpick into its highest
point at the end of the baking time. If the
dough does not stick to the toothpick, the
dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert goes flat when it comes out
of the oven, on the next occasion reduce
the set temperature by about 50°F,
selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
Tips for defrosting and proofing
• With the wrapping removed, place
frozen foods into a lidless container and
place it on the first rack in the oven.
• Do not overlap foods.
• To defrost meat, use a rack placed on
the second level and a tray placed on
the first level. This way, the meat does not
remain in contact with the liquid from
thawing.
• The most delicate parts can be covered
with aluminum foil.
• For good proofing, place a container of
water at the bottom of the oven.
To save energy
• Turn off the oven a few minutes before
the time required. Cooking will continue
for the remaining minutes with the heat
already accumulated inside the oven.
• Do not open the oven door very often to
avoid heat loss.
• Always keep the inside of the appliance
clean.
• (Where present) If not used, remove the
pizza tray and place the cover in its
special location.
