Cooking modes

Cooking modes
! A temperature value can be set for all cooking
modes between 60°C and Max, except for
• GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power
level);
TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
Both the top and bottom heating elements will come
on. With this traditional cooking mode, it is best to
use one cooking rack only; if more than one rack is
used, the heat will be distributed unevenly.
PASTRY mode
The bottom heating element comes on.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods - especially cakes that need to rise because
the heat coming from the bottom helps the leavening
process.
Please note that it takes a considerable amount of
time for the higher temperatures to be reached,
therefore we recommend you use the “TRADITIONAL
OVEN” in these cases.
TOP OVEN mode
The top heating element comes on. This mode can
be used to brown food at the end of cooking.
GRILL mode
The top heating element comes 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...
Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical
Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door closed.
The Rotisserie (only available on certain models)
1. Place the dripping pan in position 1.
2. Place the rotisserie support in position 3 and
insert the spit in the hole provided on the back
panel of the oven.
3. Start the rotisserie using the knob to select MODE
.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
! In the GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease).
GRILL
• Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that you set the maximum power
level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.
To operate the rotisserie
(see diagram) proceed as
