peppers, etc.
Desserts: this mode is also perfect for baking leavened
cakes.
The "Multi-cooking" mode can also be used to thaw red or
white meat and bread, by setting the temperature to 80
°C. To thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to
60°C.
Pizza Mode
Position of thermostat knob "C": between 40°C and 250°C.
All the heating elements are activated alternately and the
fan comes on.
The pizza mode is ideal for foods requiring high tempera-
tures to cook, such as 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 "C": 50%, 75%, 100%.
The top central heating element comes 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: beef steaks, veal, rib steak,
filets, hamburgers etc...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking.
Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cook-
ing Advice" paragraph.
Note: turn knob "C" and the display will indicate the 3 dif-
ferent energy percentages which represent the minimum
(50%), medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) re-
spectively.
To programme the cooking mode, follow the instructions
below:
•
select the cooking mode by turning knob "B", and the
temperature by turning knob "C".
•
set the cooking time by pressing button 2. The
recommended cooking time comes up on the display,
and you can adjust the same by turning knob "C".
Please remember that the time entered does not inclu-
de the necessary pre-heating stage.
•
set the end cooking time by pressing button 1. The
display panel will feature the end cooking time obtained
by adding the current time to the previously selected
cooking time, as well as the time necessary for the
oven to preheat (automatically calculated by the
appliance according to the cooking mode selected).
Turn knob "C" until the display panel features the time
you want the food to be ready.
Programming the cooking mode
Gratin
Position of thermostat knob "C": between 40°C and 200°C.
The top central heating element and the fan come on.
This combination of features increases the effectiveness
of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating ele-
ments through forced circulation of the air throughout the
oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the sur-
face, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food.
Excellent results are achieved with kebabs made with
meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops,
chicken in a spicy sauce, quail, pork chops, etc.
All cooking using the "Gratin" must be done with the
oven door shut.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword-
fish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
Ventilated oven
Position of thermostat knob "C": between 40°C and 210°C.
The circular heating element and the fan come on,
providing "delicate" heat which is ideal for baking recipes
with a low liquid content, such as shortbread biscuits, jam
tarts and savoury biscuits (shortcrust pastry). We
recommend the use of the second oven rack from the
bottom. Preheat the oven first.
Burn-free system (only on certain models)
When using the rotisserie, remember that the oven is fitted
with a special system which allows the food to continue to
rotate even when cooking is complete: this will prevent
the thermal inertia of the oven from affecting in any way
the quality of the food cooked in rotisserie mode.
When the set cooking time is up, press any of the buttons
to silence the buzzer that the appliance sounds while the
spit continues to turn.
To complete this post-cooking phase, just turn knob "B"
anti-clockwise until the word "OFF" is displayed or wait for
the oven to cool down.
After these selection procedures, the display panel will
feature the time at which preheating will commence
(where foreseen), and that at which cooking will be
over. The latter can be altered up until the cooking mode
and temperature reappear on the display panel. Any
incorrect data can be corrected simply by repeating
the above-stated instructions.
•
press button 4 to activate the programming.
To modify the settings made, press button 4 for
approximately 3 seconds and repeat the above
procedures.
Per annullare una cottura già programmata
To cancel a cooking schedule already programmed.To
cancel any programme which has been entered, turn knob
"B" anticlockwise until the word "OFF" appears on the
display panel.
