[. . . ] 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. BOTTOM: The heat coming solely from the bottom makes it possible to complete the cooking of foods that require a greater basic temperature, without affecting their browning. Perfect for cakes, pies, tarts and pizzas. FAN-ASSISTED STATIC: The operation of the fan, combined with traditional cooking, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect for biscuits and cakes, even when simultaneously cooked on several levels. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) 60 Instructions for the user FAN-ASSISTED GRILL: The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, giving perfect grilling results even with very thick foods. CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and cooking time. Hot air circulation ensures instant and uniform distribution of heat. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of smells and flavours. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) DEFROSTING: The movement of air caused by the fan makes food defrost faster. The air circulating inside the oven is at room temperature. PIZZA: The operation of the fan, combined with the grill and the lower heating element, ensures uniform cooking even with complex recipes. Perfect not just for pizzas, but also for biscuits and cakes. 61 Instructions for the user 7. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 7. 1. 1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. For cooking on several levels, we recommend using a fan-assisted function ( , , ) to achieve uniform cooking at all heights. In general, it is not possible to shorten the cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be well-cooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside). 7. 1. 2 Advice for cooking meat Cooking times, especially for meat, vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. We recommend using a meat thermometer for meat when roasting it. Alternatively, simply press on the roast with a spoon: if it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. 7. 1. 3 Advice for cooking desserts and biscuits Use dark metal moulds for desserts: they help to absorb the heat better. The temperature and the cooking duration depend on the quality and consistency of the dough. Check whether the dessert is cooked all the way through: at the end of the cooking time, put a toothpick into the highest point of the dessert. If the dough does not stick to the toothpick, the dessert is cooked. [. . . ] Remove the middle panes by lifting them upwards. (Multifunction models) · Multifunction models have a single middle panel. Remove the intermediate panel by lifting it upwards. Cleaning: · It is now possible to clean the external glass panel and the panels removed previously. [. . . ]
