CONVENTIONAL: Both top and bottom heating elements are used. This method is ideal for all traditional roasting
*
and baking.
● Preheat the oven for about ten minutes
● Place the food and its dish on a shelf in mid position
GRILL: Use the grill with the door closed. The top heating element is used alone and you can adjust the grill level.
NOTES:
● Five minutes preheating is required to get the elements hot.
● Success is guaranteed for grills, kebabs and gratin dishes.
● White meats should be put at a distance from the grill; the cooking duration is longer, but the meat will be tastier.
● You can put red meats and fish fillets on the shelf with the drip tray underneath.
MULTI-LEVEL: We recommend you use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables. Heat penetrates into
the food better and both the cooking and preheating times are reduced. You can cook different foods at the same
time with or without the same preparation in one or more positions. This cooking method gives even heat distribution
and the smells are not mixed.
NOTE: Ten minutes extra are suggested when you cook different food at the same time.
CONVECTION + FAN: We recommend you to use this method for poultry, pastries, fish and vegetables. Heat
penetrates into the food better and both the cooking and preheating times are reduced. You can cook different food at
the same time with or without the same preparation in one or more positions. This cooking method gives even heat
distribution and the smells are not mixed.
NOTE: Ten minutes extra are suggested when you cook different food at the same time.
GRILL + FAN: The top heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven. Ideal for cooking thick
food items, whole pieces such as roast pork, poultry, etc.
● Place the food to be grilled directly on the shelf centrally, at the middle level.
● Slide the drip tray under the shelf to collect the juices.
● Turn the food over halfway through cooking.
WARNINGS:
● Preheating is necessary for red meats but not for white meats.
● Use the turbo-grill with the door closed.
● Make sure that the food is not too close to the grill.
BOTTOM HEATING + FAN: The bottom heating element is used with the fan circulating the air inside the oven. This
method is ideal for juicy fruit flans, tarts, quiches and pâté. It prevents food from drying and encourages rising in
cakes, bread dough and other bottom-cooked food.
● Place the shelf in the bottom position.
BOTTOM HEATING: Use the lower element. Ideal for cooking all pastry based dishes such as flans, quiche, etc.
