means that the oven is in use, and it will remain on for
the entire time the oven is being used.
"Defrosting" Mode
Position of thermostat knob : any
The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the
air circulate at room temperature around the food.
This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of
food, but in particular for delicate types of food which
do not require heat, such as for example: ice cream
cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes. By using
the fan, the defrosting time is approximately halved.
In the case of meat, fish and bread, it is possible to
accelerate the process using the "ventilation mode"
mode and setting the temperature to 80° - 100°C.
1.Convection Mode
- Position of thethermostat knob: between 50°C and
Max
On this setting, the light comes on and the top and
bottom heating elements are activated. This is the
classic, traditional type oven which has 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, stews, etc.
Excellent results are achieved when preparing meat-
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 still remains
the best system for cooking pastries and fruit in
general and when using specific covered containers
for oven cooking. When cooking in convection mode,
only use one dripping-pan or cooking rack at a time,
otherwise the heat distribution will be uneven. Select
from among the various rack heights based on whether
the dish needs more or less heat from the top or
bottom.
2. Ventilation Mode
- Position of the thermostat knob: between 50°C and
Max
Since the heat remains constant and uniform
throughout the oven due to the fan at the behind, 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
rack levels can be used at the same time, following
the instructions in the section entitled, "Cooking On
More Than One Rack". This cooking mode is ideal for
au gratin dishes or those which require an extended
cooking time like lasagne, macaroni bake, chicken and
roast 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 for
the roast. The ventilated 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 also be attained when cooking vegetable like
courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes, etc.
Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the
ventilated mode. Moreover, this mode can also be
used to thaw meat, fish and bread by setting the
temperature to 80°-100°C. To thaw more delicate
foods, set the thermostat to 50°C or use only the cold
air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
3.Top heating element
- Position of the thermostat knob: between 50°C and
Max
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 high temperature on the surface: beef steaks,
veal, entrecôte, filets, hamburger etc...
4. The "Grill"
- Position of the thermostat knob: between 50°C and
Max
This oversized grill has a completely new design,
increasing cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill
also eliminates pockets of unheated air in the corners
of the oven.
Important: Always leave the oven door closed when
using the grill setting n order to achieve the best
results and save on energy (about 10%).
When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack
heights (see cooking table) and place the dripping-pan
beneath the oven rack to prevent grease from falling
onto the bottom of the oven.
5. Ventilated Grill :
- Position of the "thermostat knob: between 50°C and
Max
This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
of the heating elements through forced air circulation
of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevents
foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate into the food. Excellent results are achieved
with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork
chops, etc. This mode is also ideal for cooking fish
steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc.
In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn
on (where present). Cooking with this function is
