Therefore, if high temperatures are needed, we recommend that you use the “Conventional” setting. VENTILATION MODE Both the heating elements and the fan will come on. 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 rack levels can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled, “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require an extended cooking time. 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 for the roast. The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavor and appearance. The ventilated mode can also be used to thaw white or red meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to 80°-100°C. If the appliance has been on for an extended amount of time at maximum temperature and this advice is not taken, a safety device to protect the same is activated, which interrupts the electricity supply temporarily.
