Combination functions list
Microwave + Grill
The use of the grill results in perfect browning of the food’s surface. Using
the microwave on the other hand leads to rapid internal cooking of the food.
Microwave + static + fan
The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures
consistent cooking even with complex recipes. Using the microwave on the other
hand leads to rapid internal cooking of the food.
Microwave + Circulaire + Fan
For combination cooking of food in a short time thanks to the microwave action
working together with hot air circulation.
Traditional functions
- Select a cooking function with the function knob.
- Press and turn the temperature knob to modify the cooking temperature.
- Press the function knob to start the traditional cooking function.
A function can be interrupted at any time by pressing and holding the function knob for at least 3 seconds.
Pre-heating stage
Cooking itself is preceded by a preheating stage, which allows the appliance
to heat to the cooking temperature more quickly.
This stage is indicated by the flashing of the temperature level reached
indicator.
At the end of the preheating stage the temperature level reached indicator remains on and a buzzer sounds to indicate that food can be placed into the oven.
Traditional functions list
ECO
This function is particularly suitable for cooking on a single shelf with low
energy consumption.
Ideal for cooking meat, fish and vegetables. It is not recommended for
leavened foods.
To obtain maximum energy savings and reduce cooking times, it is recommended
to place food in the oven without preheating.
When using the ECO function, avoid opening the door during cooking.
Cooking (and preheating) times are longer with the ECO function.
Static
As the heat comes from above and below at the same time, this system is
particularly suitable for certain types of food. Traditional cooking, also
known as static cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time.
Perfect for all types of roasts, bread and cakes, and in any case,
particularly suitable for fatty meats such as goose and duck.
Grill
The heat coming from the grill element gives perfect grilling results above
all for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie
(where fitted), gives the food an even browning at the end of cooking. Perfect
for sausages, spare ribs and bacon. This function enables large quantities of
food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly.
Fan assisted
The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures
consistent cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes,
even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level
cooking,
we recommend using the 2nd and 4th shelves).
Fan with grill
The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the
grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Perfect for large cuts of
meat (e.g. shin of pork).
Fan + lower element
The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking
to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or
for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the
surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat. Perfect for
any type of food.
Circulaire
The combination of the fan and the Circulaire heating element
(incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows you to cook different foods on
several shelves, as long as they need the same temperatures and the same type
of cooking. Hot air circulation ensures instant and even distribution of heat.
It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits
simultaneously (on different levels) without odours and flavours mingling.
Turbo
The combination of fan assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows
different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and
efficiently, without odours and flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes
that call for intense cooking.
