It remains lit as long as the oven is operating. By selecting 8 with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated. 9 FAST COOKING mode The heating elements and the fan come on, guaranteeing the distribution of heat consistently and uniformly throughout the oven. Preheating is not necessary for this cooking mode. This mode is particularly suitable for cooking prepacked food quickly (frozen or pre-cooked). The best results are achieved using one cooking rack only. ; MULTI-COOKING mode All the heating elements (top, bottom and circular) switch on and the fan begins to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. Z PIZZA mode Cooking modes  A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 60°C and Max, except for the following modes • GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level) • GRATIN (recommended: do not exceed 200°C). The circular heating elements and the elements at the bottom of the oven are switched on and the fan is activated. This combination heats the oven rapidly by producing a considerable amount of heat, particularly from the element at the bottom. If you use more than one rack at a time, switch the position of the dishes halfway through the cooking process. d GRILL mode X TRADITIONAL OVEN mode Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed in an uneven manner. K The central part of the top heating element is switched on. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners. BAKING mode A GRATIN mode The rear heating element and the fan are switched on, thus guaranteeing the distribution of heat in a delicate and uniform manner throughout the entire oven. This mode is ideal for baking and cooking temperature sensitive foods (such as cakes that need to rise) and for the preparation of pastries on 3 shelves simultaneously. The top heating element and the rotisserie (where present) are activated and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and allows the heat to penetrate right into the food.  The GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut. 8 Planning your cooking Programming cooking time with immediate start 1. Turn the PROGRAMMER knob in an anticlockwise direction until the desired cooking time is displayed.

Respecting and conserving the environment • You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity supply network companies by using the oven in the hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the morning. • Always keep the oven door closed when using the GRILL and GRATIN modes: This will achieve improved results while saving energy (approximately 10%). • Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion. 11 Care and maintenance GB 02/2007 - 195060335. 00 Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Inspecting the oven seals Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the seals are damaged, please contact your nearest Authorised After-sales Service Centre. [. . . ]
