Ventilated Mode
E
Set the thermostat
knob
(C)
between 60'C and Max.
Eoth the
heating
elements
and
lhe fan
will
come on. Since
the
heat remains constant
and unifrcrm
throughout the
oven, the air cooks
and browns
bod uniformly over
its
entire surface. With this
mode, you
can also cook various
dishes at the same time,
as
long as their respeclive
cooking
temperatures are the
same. A maximum of 2
rack
levels can be used
al 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 e)dended
cooking
time.
Moreover, the excellent
heat
distritution makes it
possible
to use
lower temporatures when
cooking
roasts. This
results in less loss of
iuices,
meat which is more lender
and a decrease
in
th6
loss
of
weight frcr the roast.
The ventilated mode is especially
suited
for
cooking
fish,
which can be
prepared
wilh
the addition of a
limited
amount
of condiments,
thus maintaining
their flavor and
appearance.
Th6
ventilated mode can
also be used to thaw
white
or
red
meat, fish and bread
by setting the temperature
to
80"-100'C.To thaw
more
delicate foods, set the termostat
to 60'C or use only the cold air circulation feature by setting
the thermostat to 0"C.
crillE
Set
the thermostat to'C':
Max.
The central
heating element
of the
grill
will come on.
The
incandescent heating element
cooks
frcod by means of
thermal
radiation directed
downward. The extremely
high
and direct temperature of
the
grill
makes it
possible
to
brown the
surface of meats
and roasts while lockino
in
the
juices
to keep them tender.

Max.
Both of the
grill
elements
are activaled. This oversized

also eliminates
pockets
of unheated air in the corners
of

Set the
thermostat to
"C":
between 60"C and 200'C.
Both of the
heating
elements of the

the fan. This combination
of batures increases
the effuctiveness of the unidirectional
thermal
radiation
of
the heating elements through
brced air circulation of the
air
throughout the oven. This
belps
prevents
foods from
burning on the surface,
allowing
the heat to
penetrale
into
the food.

support surfuce.
lmportant Warning Notel
Do not
place
anvthing,
eg containers,
aluminium foil etc,
on to the bass of th6 oven as
this
will
cause
