Select the cooking time (up to 60’), or set manual cooking knob. using the timer 33 EN Use 3. 4 Cooking modes Defrost The movement of air at room temperature causes frozen food to defrost quickly. This type of rapid defrosting is ideal as the taste and appearance of the de-frozen food, whether previously deep-frozen or frozen in the freezer, remain unaltered. Fan with circulaire The combination of the fans and the circulaire heating elements (incorporated in the rear of the oven) allows you to cook different foods on several levels, as long as they need the same temperatures and same type of cooking. It will be possible, for instance, to cook fish, vegetables and biscuits simultaneously (on different levels) without odours and flavours mingling. 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 cooking, is suitable for cooking just one dish at a time. • If the dessert collapses when it comes out of the oven, on the next occasion reduce the set temperature by about 10°C, selecting a longer cooking time if necessary. Advice for defrosting • Place frozen foods without their packaging in a lidless container on the first shelf of the oven. • To defrost meat, use the rack placed on the second level and a tray on the first level. In this way, the liquid from the defrosting food drains away from the food. To save energy • Stop cooking a few minutes before the time normally used. Cooking will continue for the remaining minutes with the heat which has accumulated inside the oven. • Reduce any opening of the door to a minimum to avoid heat dispersal. • Keep the inside of the appliance clean at all times. 35 EN Cleaning and maintenance 4 Cleaning and maintenance 4. 1 Instructions Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces • Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance.
