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 fan assisted mode is particularly recommended
for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those
requiring considerably prolonged cooking times,
such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, 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 fan
assisted mode is especially suited for cooking fish,
which can be prepared with the addition of a limited
amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavour
and appearance.
Desserts: the fan assisted 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.
TOP OVEN mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of
cooking.
GRILL mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The top heating element and the turnspit come on.
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill
makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and
roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender.
The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high temperature on the surface: such as
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking,
except when using the turnspit.
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph..
FAN ASSISTED GRILL mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and 200°C.
The top central heating element 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,
Oven light
This is switched on by turning the SELECTOR knob to
any position other than “0”. It remains lit as long as the
oven is operating. By selecting
with the knob, the
light is switched on without any of the heating elements
being activated.
Cooking modes
BAKING mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly
throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for the
preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the same
time. Here are a few examples: cream puffs, sweet and
savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss rolls and small
portions of vegetables au gratin, etc…..
CONVECTION mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements
come on. This is the classic, traditional type of oven
which has been perfected, with exceptional heat
distribution and reduced energy consumption. The
convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to
cooking dishes made up of several ingredients, e.g.
cabbage with ribs, Spanish style cod, Ancona style
stockfish, tender veal strips with rice, etc. Excellent
results are achieved when preparing veal or beef-
based dishes as well (braised meats, stew, goulash,
wild game, ham etc.) which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless
remains the best system for baking cakes as well as
fruit and cooking using covered casserole dishes
for oven baking. When cooking in convection mode,
only use one dripping pan or cooking rack at a time,
otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Using
the different rack heights available, you can balance
the amount of heat between the top and the bottom of
the oven. Select from among the various rack heights
based on whether the dish needs more or less heat
from the top.
FAN ASSISTED mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come
on. 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
