[. . . ] When cooking in convection mode, use only one rack, as the temperature would not be distributed evenly on several racks. 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. multi-Cooking Mode b Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C. The heating elements and the fan come on alternately. 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 cooking 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 cooking mode is particularly recommended for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those requiring considerably prolonged cooking times, such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast chicken and 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 of the roast. The Multi-cooking 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 be attained when cooking vegetable-based side dishes like courgettes, aubergines, peppers, etc. Desserts: this 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 Instructions for use 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. grill d Position of thermostat knob “M”: 50% , 75% , 100%. The top heating element and the turnspit (where present) come 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: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph. Note: turn knob “M” and the display will indicate the 3 different energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%), medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) respectively. gratin e Position of thermostat knob “M”: Between 40°C and 250°C. [. . . ] € If cooking on more than one rack (up to 2), we advise you to use the Multi-cooking Mode Mode w would heat the bottom rack more than the others. Cooking Fish and Meat When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use temperature settings from 180 °C to 200 °C. For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is a good idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards. In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting. [. . . ]
