When the selector knob is on any other setting than
that identified by the “

The setting identified by the

possible to turn the oven light on without having any
of the oven heating elements on. When the oven
light is on, it means that the oven is in use, and it
will remain on for the entire time the oven is being
used.
“Defrosting” Mode

The fan located on the bottom of the oven makes the
air circulate at room temperature around the food.
This is recommended for the defrosting of all types
of food, but in particular for delicate types of food
which do not require heat, such as for example: ice
cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit
cakes. By using the fan, the defrosting time is
approximately halved. In the case of meat, fish and
bread, it is possible to accelerate the process using
the “ventilation mode” mode and setting the
temperature to 80° - 100°C.

On this setting, the light comes on and the top and
bottom heating elements are activated. This is the
classic, traditional type oven which has perfected,
with exceptional heat distribution and reduced
energy consumption. The convection oven is still
unequalled when it comes to cooking dishes made
up of several ingredients, e.g. cabbage with ribs,
stews, etc. Excellent results are achieved when
preparing meat-based dishes as well (braised
meats, stew, goulash, wild game, ham etc.) which
need to cook slowly and require basting or the
addition of liquid. It still remains the best system for
cooking pastries and fruit in general and when using
specific covered containers for oven cooking. When
cooking in convection mode, only use one dripping-
pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the heat
distribution will be uneven. Select from among the
various rack heights based on whether the dish
needs more or less heat from the top or bottom.

Since the heat remains constant and uniform
throughout the oven due to the fan at the behind, 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 like lasagne,
macaroni bake, chicken and roast potatoes, etc...
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 flavour and
appearance. Excellent results can also be attained when
cooking vegetable like courgettes, aubergines, peppers,
tomatoes, etc.
Desserts: leavened cakes are also perfect for the
ventilated mode. Moreover, this mode can also be
used to thaw meat, fish and bread by setting the
temperature to 80°-100°C. To thaw more delicate
foods, set the thermostat to 50°C or use only the
cold air circulation feature by setting the thermostat
to 0°C.

The extremely high and direct temperature of the
grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats
and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them
tender. The grill is also highly recommended for
dishes that require high temperature on the surface:
beef steaks, veal, entrecôte, filets, hamburger etc...

This oversized grill has a completely new design,
increasing cooking efficiency by 50%. The double
grill also eliminates pockets of unheated air in the
corners of the oven.

When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack
heights (see cooking table) and place the dripping-
pan beneath the oven rack to prevent grease from
falling onto the bottom of the oven.
