FUNCTIONS
CONVENTIONAL
For cooking any kind of dish on one shelf only.
CONVECTION BAKE
To cook on a maximum of two shelves at the
same time. It is a good idea to swap the position of
the baking trays halfway through cooking.
GRILL
For grilling steaks, kebabs and sausages,
cooking vegetables au gratin or toasting bread.
When grilling meat, we recommend using a dripping
pan to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on
any of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml
of drinking water.
TURBO GRILL
For roasting large joints of meat (legs, roast
beef, chicken). We recommend using a dripping pan
to collect the cooking juices: position the pan on any
of the levels below the wire shelf and add 200 ml of
drinking water.
ECO FORCED AIR
For cooking roasts and stuffed roasting joints
on a single shelf. Food is prevented from drying out
excessively by gentle, intermittent air circulation.
When this ECO function is in use, the light will remain
switched off during cooking but can be switched on
again by pressing .
• FISH
• MEAT
• BREAD
The functions provide excellent results
thanks to the addition of steam in cooking cycles.
Only when the oven is cold, pour drinking water
on the bottom of the oven and select the specific

quantities and temperatures for each food category
