Functions list
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.
Fan with circulaire
The combination of the fan and the
circulaire heating 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 even
distribution of heat. It will be
possible, for instance, to cook fish,
vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels)
without odours and flavours
mingling.
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. Ideal for
cooking meat, fish and vegetables.
Not recommended for desserts
which must rise.
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined
with traditional cooking, ensures
consistent 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).
Lower element + fan with circulaire
Fan-assisted cooking is combined
with the heat coming from the
bottom and allows you at the same
time to slightly brown food. Perfect
for any type of food
Fan with 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).

Use
39
EN
3.5 Cooking advice
General advice
• Use a fan assisted function to achieve
consistent 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.
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, spare ribs and bacon.
This function enables large
quantities of food, particularly meat,
to be grilled evenly.
Small grill (on some models only)
Using only the heat released from
the central element, this function
allows you to grill small portions of
meat and fish for making kebabs,
toasted sandwiches and any types
of grilled vegetable side dishes.
Lower element
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.
Light
In this position the oven light can be
turned on during normal operations.
Vapor Clean
This function makes cleaning easier
using the steam produced by a
small quantity of water poured into
a tray on the first shelf level.

Use
40
Advice for cooking with the Grill and the
Fan with 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 with grill function, we
recommend that you preheat the oven
before grilling.
• We recommend placing the food at the
centre of the rack.
• With the Grill function, we recommend
that you turn the temperature knob to the
maximum value near the symbol to
optimise cooking.
Advice for cooking desserts/pastries and
biscuits
• Use dark metal moulds: They help to
absorb the heat better.
• 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.
