temperature knob.
Functions list
We recommend that you place the
tray on the first shelf to collect fats
more easily.
Static
As the heat comes from above and
below at the same time, this system
is particularly suitable for certain
types of food. Traditional 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 and in any case
particularly suitable for fatty meats
such as goose and duck.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill
element gives perfect grilling results
above all for thin and medium
thickness meat and in combination
with the rotisserie (where fitted)
gives the food an even browning at
the end of cooking. Perfect for
sausages, ribs and bacon. This
function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled
evenly.

Use
46
Fan-assisted bottom
The combination of the fan with just
the lower heating element allows
cooking to be completed more
rapidly. This system is
recommended for sterilising or for
finishing off the cooking of foods
which are already well-cooked on
the surface, but not inside, which
therefore need a little more heat.
Perfect for any type of food.
In pyrolytic models, the special
defrosting and proving functions are
brought together under the same
function.
Fan-assisted grill
The air produced by the fan softens
the strong heatwave generated by
the grill, grilling perfectly even very
thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
Fan-assisted static
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
uniform cooking even with complex
recipes. Perfect for biscuits and
cakes, even when simultaneously
cooked on several levels. (For
multiple-level cooking, we
recommend using the 2nd and 4th
shelves.)
Bottom
The heat coming just from the
bottom allows you to complete the
cooking of foods that require a
higher bottom temperature, without
affecting their browning. Perfect for
cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas.
Turbo
The combination of fan-assisted
cooking and traditional cooking
allows different foods to be cooked
on several levels extremely quickly
and efficiently, without odours and
flavours mingling. Perfect for large
volumes that call for intense
cooking.
Fan-assisted small grill
Through the combined action of the
fan and the
heat of the central element only, this
function is perfect for rapid cooking
and cooking au gratin of small
quantities of food (particularly
meats), by bringing together the
dietary advantages of the grill and
the even cooking of the fan.
Rotisserie grill
The rotisserie works in combination
with the grill element, allowing food
to be perfectly browned.

Use
47
EN
3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan-assisted function to achieve
uniform cooking at several levels.
• It is not possible to shorten cooking times
by increasing the temperature (the food
could be overcooked on the outside and
undercooked on the inside).
Advice for cooking meat
• Cooking times vary according to the
thickness and quality of the food and to
consumer taste.
• Use a meat thermometer when roasting
meat, or simply press on the roast with a
spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it
needs another few minutes cooking.
Fan-assisted 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 need the same
temperatures and same type of
cooking. Hot air circulation ensures
instant and uniform distribution of
heat. It will be possible, for instance,
to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without mixing odours and flavours.
Defrosting
Rapid defrosting is helped by
switching on the fan provided and
the top heating element that ensure
uniform distribution of low
temperature air inside the oven.
Eco
Using the grill and the lower heating
element in combination is
particularly suitable for cooking on
a single shelf, as it provides low
energy consumption.
Vapor Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a little
quantity of water poured onto the
appropriate drawing placed on the
bottom.
Pyrolysis
Setting this function, the oven
reaches temperatures up to 500°C,
destroying all the grease which
forms on the internal walls.

Use
48
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan-assisted grill
• Meat can be grilled even when it is put
into the cold oven or into the preheated
oven if you wish to change the effect of
the cooking.
• With the fan-assisted grill function,
preheating the oven before grilling is
recommended.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, it is
recommended to turn the temperature
dial to the highest value – symbol –
to optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits
• Dark coloured metal moulds and tins
should preferably be used as they help
to absorb the heat.
• The temperature and the cooking time
depend on the quality and consistency
of the dough.
• To check whether the dessert is cooked
right through: at the end of the cooking
time, put a toothpick into the highest point
of the dessert. If the dough does not stick
to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked.
• If the dessert collapses when it comes
out of the oven, on the next occasion
reduce the set temperature by about
10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if
necessary.
Advice for defrosting and proving
• Place frozen foods without their
packaging in a lidless container on the
first shelf of the oven.
• Avoid overlapping the food.
• To defrost meat, use the rack placed on
the second level and a tray on the first
level. In this way, the liquid from the
defrosting food drains away from the
food.
• The most delicate parts can be covered
with aluminium foil.
• For successful proving, a container of
water should be placed in the bottom of
the oven.
To save energy
• Stop cooking a few minutes before the
time normally used. Cooking will
continue for the remaining minutes with
the heat which has accumulated inside
the oven.
• Reduce any opening of the door to a
minimum to avoid heat dispersal.
• Keep the inside of the appliance clean
at all times.
