and cooking using covered casserole dishes for oven bak-
ing. When cooking in convection mode, only use one drip-
ping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be uneven. 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.
Fan Assisted Mode
Position of thermostat knob "L": Between 60°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 cook-
ing 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 fan assisted mode is particularly recommended for
dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring con-
siderably prolonged cooking times, such as for example:
lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and potatoes, etc...
Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possi-
ble 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 fan
assisted 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 appear-
ance.
Desserts: the fan assisted 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 thaw more delicate foods, set the thermostat to
60°C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0°C.
"Top" oven
Position of thermostat knob "L": Between 60°C and Max.
The top heating element comes on.
This mode can be used to brown food at the end of cook-
ing.
Grill
Position of thermostat knob "L": Max
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...
Some grilling examples are included in the "Practical Cook-
ing Advice" paragraph.
Fan Assisted Grill
Position of thermostat knob "L": between 60°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 elements
through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, al-
lowing 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.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword-
fish, tuna, grouper, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
The oven light
Set knob "E" to the
oven and stays on when any of the electrical heating ele-
ments in the oven come on.
Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, some
models are equipped with a cooling fan which comes on
automatically when the oven is hot.
When the fan is on, a normal flow of air can be heard
exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is done, the fan stays on until
the oven cools down sufficiently.
