FAN ASSISTED mode
Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
The heating elements, as well as 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 racks can be used at the
same time, following the instructions in the section
entitled: “Cooking On More Than One Rack”.
This fan assisted mode is particularly recommended
for dishes requiring a gratin finish or for those
requiring considerably prolonged cooking times,
such as for example: lasagne, pasta bakes, roast
chicken and 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 fan
assisted 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.
Desserts: the fan assisted mode is also perfect for
baking leavened cakes.
Moreover, this mode can also be used to thaw
quickly white or red meat and bread by setting the
temperature to 80 °C. To thaw more delicate foods,
set the thermostat to 60°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

The rear heating element and the fan come on,
guaranteeing delicate heat distributed uniformly
throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate
foods - especially cakes that need to rise - and for
the preparation of certain tartlets on 3 shelves at the

sweet and savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, Swiss
rolls and small portions of vegetables au gratin,

Temperature: any temperature between 50°C and Max.
On this setting, the top and bottom heating
elements come on. This is the classic, traditional
type of oven which has been 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, Spanish style
cod, Ancona style stockfish, tender veal strips with
rice, etc. Excellent results are achieved when
preparing veal or beef-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 nonetheless remains the best
system for baking cakes as well as fruit and cooking
using covered casserole dishes for oven baking.
When cooking in convection mode, only use one
dripping pan or cooking rack at a time, otherwise the
heat distribution will be uneven. Using the different
