Description of oven cooking functions
WARNING
Please remember that the available functions
will vary according to each model.
To check which functions are available on
your oven, see the User Manual provided
with this Cooking Guide.
CONVENTIONAL
This function is for use when baking cakes
where the heat should be even to give a
spongy texture.
CONVENTIONAL WITH FAN
Suitable for roasts and baking. The fan dis-
tributes the heat evenly around the inside of
the oven to reduce cooking time and tem-
perature.
GRILL AND LOWER ELEMENT
Ideal for roasts. This setting can be used for
any cuts of meat, regardless of size.
MAXIGRILL
For toasting larger surfaces than possible
with the Grill setting, with greater toasting
power for faster food browning.
GRILL
Toasting and browning. This setting allows
the surface to be browned without affecting
the inside of the food. Suitable for flat foods
such as steaks, ribs, fish and toast.
GRILL / MAXIGRILL WITH FAN
For even roasting and simultaneous surface
browning. Ideal for mixed grills. Perfect for
bulky pieces such as poultry and game.
The meat should be placed on the grid shelf
with the tray below to collect meat juices.
LOWER HEAT (FLOOR)
Heat only comes from the lower part. Suit-
able for warming dishes or letting dough or
similar products rise.
TURBO + LOWER HEAT (PIZZA)
Ideal for cooking pizzas and baking pies,
fruit tarts and sponge cakes.
TURBO
The fan distributes the heat coming from an
element located at the back of the oven. As
a result of the evenly-distributed tempera-
ture, food can be cooked on two shelves at
the same time.
SLOW COOKER
Specially designed for cooking traditional
casseroles, stews, etc... and for any dishes
specifying particularly long cooking times
and low heat.
For the best results, we recommend using
covered casserole pans with lids, first mak-
ing sure they can be used in the oven.
ECO
For cooking in the oven with the minimum
energy consumption possible. The oven
uses convention heating, and depending on
the model, switches off a few minutes be-
fore the end of cooking, using the residual
heat inside the oven and completing the
dish perfectly. Recommended for fish and
all types of meat roasts.
DEFROSTING
This function is suitable for slowly defrost-
ing food, particularly food consumed un-
heated, such as soups, pastries, tarts,
cakes, etc.
