Warning: The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that
you set the thermostat to the highest setting and leave the oven on for
about half an hour with nothing in it, with the oven door shut. Then,
open the oven door and let the room air. The odour that is often detected
during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to
protect the oven during storage and until it is installed.
Warning: Place the dripping pan provided on the bottom rack of the
oven to prevent any sauce and/or grease from dripping onto the bot-
tom of the oven only when grilling food or when using the rotisserie
(only available on certain models). For all other types of cooking,
never use the bottom rack and never place anything on the bottom of
the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel
coating. Always place your cookware (dishes, aluminium foil, etc.) on
the grid provided with the appliance inserted especially along the oven
rack guides.
- In this mode only the interior light are switched on: ideal for
fast defrosting.
Convection Mode
Position of thermostat knob "H": Between 40°C and MAX.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating elements come on. This is
the classic, traditional type of oven which has been perfected, with
exceptional heat distribution and reduced energy consumption. The
convection oven is still unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes
made up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs, local stockfish
recipes, tender veal with rice, etc... Excellent results are achieved
when preparing beef- or veal-based dishes as well: braised meats,
stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc., which need to cook slowly and
require basting or the addition of liquid. It nonetheless remains the best
system for cooking pastries as well as fruit and cooking casseroles in
the oven. When cooking in convection mode, use only one rack, as
the temperature would not be distributed evenly on several racks.
Using the different rack heights available, you can balance the amount
of heat between the top and the bottom of the oven. Select from
among the various rack heights based on whether the dish needs
more or less heat from the top.
Baking Mode
Position of thermostat knob "H": Between 40°C and MAX.
The rear heating element and the fan come on, guaranteeing delicate
heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. The electricity absorp-
tion in this cooking mode is only 1600 W. It is ideal for baking and
cooking delicate foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for the
preparation of certain tartlets on 3 racks at the same time. Here are a
few examples: cream puffs, sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury
puffs, Swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin, etc.....
"Fast cooking" Mode
Position of thermostat knob "H": Between 40°C and MAX.
The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing constant
heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven. This mode is espe-
cially recommended for cooking pre-packed food quickly (as pre-heat-
ing is not necessary), such as for example: frozen or pre-cooked food)
as well as for a few "home-made" dishes. The best results when
cooking using the "Fast cooking" mode are obtained if you use one
cooking rack only (the second from the bottom).
Multi-cooking Mode
Position of thermostat knob "H": Between 40°C and MAX.
The heating elements, as well as the fan, will come on. Since the heat
remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and
browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can
also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective

cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 racks can be
used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled:
"Cooking On More Than One Rack". This cooking mode is particularly
recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring
considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne,
pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc... Moreover, the excellent
heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when
cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more
tender and a decrease in the loss of weight of the roast. The Multi-
cooking mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be
prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus
maintaining their flavour and appearance. Excellent results can be
attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes,
aubergines, peppers, etc.
Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw quickly white or red
meat and bread by setting the temperature to 80 °C. To defrost more
delicate foods, set the thermostat to 60°C or use only the cold air
circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
Pizza Mode
Position of thermostat knob "H": Between 40°C and MAX.
The bottom and circular heating elements, as well as the fan, will come
on. This combination rapidly heats the oven due to the large amounts
of power used by the appliance (2800 W), which results in the produc-
tion of considerable heat coming prevalently from the bottom. The
pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high temperatures to cook, like
pizzas and large roasts. Only use one dripping pan or rack at a time.
However, if more than one is used, these must be switched halfway
through the cooking process.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob "H": Between 40°C and MAX.
The top central heating element and the rotisserie come 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.
Important: when using the grill, the oven door must be kept shut. For
further details on how to use the rotisserie, please read the correspond-
ing paragraph.
The
"Ventilated Grill" is extremely useful for grilling foods rapidly,
as the distribution of heat makes it possible not only to brown the
surface, but also to cook the bottom part.
This mode can also be used for browning foods at the end of the
cooking process.
The rotisserie
To start the rotisserie, proceed as follows:
a) place the dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the oven bottom;
b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 3rd rack from the
bottom and position the spit by inserting it through the special
hole into the rotisserie at the back
of the oven;
c) c) start the rotisserie using knob
