COOKING WITH THE OVEN ECO: Using the grill and the bottom heating element plus the fan is particularly suitable for cooking small quantities of food, as it provides low energy consumption. 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 or thermal radiation 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, especially for thin and medium thickness meat and, in combination with the rotisserie (when present), it allows the food to be browned evenly at the end of cooking. This function enables large quantities of food, particularly meat, to be grilled evenly. CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same temperatures and same type of cooking. 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 odours and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd shelves. ) 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. We recommend using the 3rd shelf. 55 Instructions for the user TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking allows to cook different foods on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without odours and flavours mingling. Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd shelves. ) 7. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 7. 1. 1 General advice 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 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 right 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. [. . . ] · Doing this detaches the 4 pins attached to the glass from their slots in the oven door. Removing the intermediate glass panels (on some models only): · Some multifunction models have an intermediate glass panel. Remove the middle panel by lifting it upwards. Cleaning: · It is now possible to clean the external glass panel and the panels removed previously. In case of stubborn dirt, wash with a damp sponge and neutral detergent. Replacing the glass panels: · Replace the panels in the reverse of the order in which they were removed. [. . . ]
