Introduction
The oven controls all essential aspects of each cooking programme and makes it easier for you to create the perfect
dish, from the simplest recipe to the most sophisticated culinary delights: the temperature, heat source, humidity and
fan assisted operation are all controlled automatically.
This chapter was written with the help of our very own culinary expert. We invite you to follow his advice so
you can benefit from his experience and perfect your cooking skills.
The recommended cooking modes, temperatures and oven shelf heights reflect our expert's own experience
in the kitchen and will help you achieve the very best results.
The table below specifies whether it is best to pre-heat your oven or not for each cooking mode. Observing these
suggestions will guarantee perfect results.
The
indicator light flashes during the pre-heating stage. When the set cooking temperature has been reached,
will remain lit without flashing.
The temperature is recommended according to the cooking mode selected; however, you may adjust it to suit your
recipe (see next page).
You can also set a cooking time with an immediate or delayed start (see next page).
