[. . . ] Perfect for large volumes that call for intense cooking. Defrosting Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan provided and the top heating element that ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven. 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, we recommend using the 2nd and 4th shelves. ) Fan-assisted grill The air produced by the fan softens the strong heatwave generated by the grill, grilling perfectly even very thick foods. Fan-assisted circular The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows you 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. 11 EN Use Fan-assisted small grill Through the combined action of the fan and the heat of the central element only, this function is perfect for rapid cooking and cooking au gratin of small quantities of food (particularly meats), by bringing together the dietary advantages of the grill and the even cooking of the fan. Fan-assisted bottom 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. In pyrolytic models, the special defrosting and proving functions are brought together under the same function Vapor Clean This function makes cleaning easier using the steam produced by a little quantity of water poured onto the appropriate drawing placed on the bottom. 3. 5 Cooking advice General advice • Use a fan-assisted function to achieve uniform cooking at several levels.
