a stream of air between the control panel and the oven door.

Modes

Manual cooking modes

! All cooking modes have a default cooking temperature which may be adjusted
manually between 40°C and 250°C as desired.
In the BARBECUE mode, the default power level value is indicated as a
percentage (%) And may also be adjusted manually.
MULTILEVEL mode
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the heat remains constant
throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A
maximum of two racks may be used at the same time.
BARBECUE mode
The top heating element is activated. By turning the THERMOSTAT knob, the
different power levels which may be set will appear on the DISPLAY; these
range between 5% and 100%. The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food which requires a high surface temperature. Always
cook in this mode with the oven door closed.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element is activated and the fan begins to operate. During part
of the cycle the circular heating element is also activated. This combination
of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air
throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to
penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door
closed.
ECO mode
The back heating element is turned on and the fan starts working, ensuring
a smooth and uniform heat level inside the oven.
This programme is indicated for slow cooking of any type of food with
temperatures which can be set up to a maximum of 200°C; the programme
is also suitable for heating food and to complete the cooking process.
The programme is particularly suitable for the slow cooking of meat and fish, as
it allows you to have softer meat and save energy at the same time. For a better
energy effectiveness, when the product is turned on, the light stays on only
for 30 seconds; in order to turn the light back on, please press the
Spit roast *
This accessory should only be used when cooking with the grill. Proceed as
follows: thread the meat you wish to cook onto the rod positioned across the
oven lengthwise, fixing it in place with the adjustable forks supplied. Position
supports "A" and "B" in the relevant holes in dripping pan "E", rest the groove
on the rod in slot "C" and use the guide rail to place the rack in the lowest
position in the oven; next position the rod in the rotisserie spit hole, sliding
the groove forwards to slot "D" (see figures). Start the rotisserie using the
