LAMP: Turns on the oven light.
DEFROST: When the dial is set to this position. The fan circulates air at room
40 ÷ 40 temperature around the frozen food so that it defrosts in a few minutes
without the protein content of the food being changed or altered.
FAN COOKING: We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish
and vegetables. Heat penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and
50 ÷ 240
preheating times are reduced. You can cook different foods at the same time
with or without the same preparation in one or more positions. This cooking
method gives even heat distribution and the smells are not mixed.
50 ÷ 240
Allow about ten minutes extra when cooking foods at the same time.
CONVENTIONAL COOKING: Both top and bottom heating elements are used.
Preheat the oven for about ten minutes. This method is ideal for all traditional
roasting and baking. For seizing red meats, roast beef, leg of lamb, game, bread,
50 ÷ 280 foil wrapped food (papillotes), flaky pastry. Place the food and its dish on a shelf
in mid position.
BOTTOM: Using the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry based dishes.
Use this for flans, quiches, tarts, pate and any cooking that needs more heat
50 ÷ 230
from below.
FAN + LOWER ELEMENT: The bottom heating element is used with the fan
circulating the air inside the oven. This method is ideal for juicy fruit flans, tarts,
quiches and pâté.
50 ÷ 230
It prevents food from drying and encourages rising in cakes, bread dough and
other bottom-cooked food.
Place the shelf in the bottom position.
FAN ASSISTED GRILL : use the turbo-grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven.
Preheating is necessary for red meats but not for white meats. Ideal for cooking
thick food items, whole pieces such as roast pork, poultry, etc. Place the food to be
150 ÷ 220
grilled directly on the shelf centrally, at the middle level. Slide the drip tray under the
shelf to collect the juices. Make sure that the food is not too close to the grill. Turn
the food over halfway through cooking.
GRILL: use the grill with the door closed.
The top heating element is used alone and you can adjust the temperature. Five
minutes preheating is required to get the elements red-hot. Success is guaranteed
for grills, kebabs and gratin dishes. White meats should be put at a distance from the
L1 ÷ L5
grill; the cooking time is longer, but the meat will be tastier. You can put red meats
and fish fillets on the shelf with the drip tray underneath. The oven has two grill
positions:
Grill: 2140 W
PIZZA - With this function hot air circulated in the oven to ensure perfect result
50 ÷ 230
for dishes such as pizza or cake.
The " ECO " function allows you to cook in a healthier way, by reducing the amount of
fat or oil required. Thanks to the use of the grill and fan combined with a pulsating
cycle of air, it will retain the moisture content of the food, grilling the surface and
using a shorter cooking time, without compromising on taste.
It is particularly suitable for cooking meat, roasted vegetables and omelettes. The
50 ÷ 230
cycle of pulsed air keeps the humidity inside the oven and the moisture content of
the food, preserving the nutritional values and ensuring a rapid uniform cooking
process.

experience the lightness of this new function!
