TRADITIONAL OVEN mode
When using 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.
BAKING mode
This mode is ideal for baking temperature sensitive foods (such
as cakes, which need to rise) and for the preparation of "bitesize
pastries" on 3 shelves simultaneously.
FAST COOKING mode
This mode is particularly suitable for cooking pre-packed
food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are
achieved using one cooking rack only.
MULTI-COOKING mode
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.
