(Temperature knob) If the symbols on touch-sensitive zones are pressed, the word "BLOC" will appear for two seconds. 6. 10. 2 Show room mode (for exhibitors only) By activating this mode, the oven deactivates all the heating elements, while keeping the control panel active. 6. 10. 3 Low power mode Activating this mode limits the power used by the appliance. HI ; normal power - LO ; low power Activating low power mode means that preheating and cooking times may be extended. 81 Instructions for the user 7. COOKING WITH THE OVEN ECO: Using the grill and the lower heating element in combination is particularly suitable for cooking on a single runner only, 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. 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, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) 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 runner. 82 Instructions for the user CIRCULAR: The combination of the fan and the circular element (incorporated in the rear of the oven) enables different foods to be cooked on several levels, as long as they need the same temperature and cooking time. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without mixing smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) TURBO: The combination of fan-assisted cooking and traditional cooking enables different foods to be cooked on several levels extremely quickly and efficiently, without any transfer of smells and flavours. (For multiple-level cooking, you are advised to use the 1st and 3rd runners. ) DEFROSTING: (see 7. 4 Proving and defrosting functions) Rapid defrosting is helped by switching on the fan and the top heating element to ensure uniform distribution of low temperature air inside the oven. PROVING: (see 7. 4 Proving and defrosting functions) The proving function, using the heat coming from the top, makes it possible to prove all types of dough, guaranteeing perfect results quickly. 83 Instructions for the user 7. 1 Cooking advice and instructions 7. 1. 1 General advice We recommend preheating the oven before putting the food in. Do not place foods inside the oven until on the display stops flashing and the beep has sounded to confirm that the programmed temperature has been reached. 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 the 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's taste. 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.
