oven.

The oven can be installed under a work top or in a column of cabinetry (open* or closed)

having the appropriate dimensions for built-in installation (see adjacent diagram).

Your oven has optimised air circulation that allows it to achieve remarkable cooking and

cleaning results if the following guidelines are followed:

• Centre the oven in the cabinet so as to guarantee a minimum distance of 10 mm between

the appliance and the neighbouring cabinet.

• The material or coating of the cabinet must be heat-resistant.

• For increased stability, fix the oven in the cabinet by means of 2 screws through the holes

designed for this purpose on the lateral mounts (fig.1).

FITTING

To do this:

1) Remove the rubber screw covers to access the mounting holes.

2) Drill a Ø 2 mm hole in the cabinet panel to avoid splitting the wood.

3) Attach the oven with the two screws.

4) Replace the rubber screw covers (they also serve to absorb the shock caused by closing

the oven door).

(*) if the cabinet is open, its opening must be 70 mm (maximum).

CREATION cooking programmes

All programmes have a preselected cooking temperature. It

is possible to adjust it manually, anywhere between 30°C

and 220°C (if this option exists).

The CREATION programmes include all manual cooking

programmes.

For each of these, the oven manages only the essential

parameters in order for all recipes to succeed, from the

most simple to the most complex: temperature, heat

source, humidity level and forced air circulation are the

values that are controlled automatically. This chapter was

written with the invaluable help of our culinary expert. We

recommend following the advice below to make the most of

this expertise and obtain perfect results in the kitchen.

The choice of cooking modes, temperatures and shelf levels

are those that our culinary expert uses regularly to obtain

the best results.

For each CREATION function, the following table indicates

whether the dish should be placed in a cold or hot oven.

Following these recommendations guarantees optimum

results optimum results. To cook in a preheated oven, wait

for the set of audible signals indicating that the oven has

preheated. The temperature is set automatically according

to the chosen type of cooking programme. It is, however,

possible to modify it to adapt it to a specific recipe.

It is also possible to select a cooking duration with

immediate or delayed start.

MULTI-LEVEL programme

Starting up all the heating elements and the fan. The heat is

constant and evenly distributed inside the oven, the air

cooks and browns in a uniform manner all over. A maximum

of two cooking shelves may be used simultaneously.

BARBECUE programme

The upper heating element is connected. The high, direct

heat from the grill is recommended for all foods that require

a high temperature on the surface. The oven door stays

closed during cooking.

BROWNING programme

The upper heating element, the circular heating element and

the fan are all working.

The heat is radiated in a single direction, in combination

with the fan, in order to spread the heat evenly throughout

the oven. This is ideal for dishes that need both cooking

and browning, such as lasagna, etc.

The oven door stays closed during cooking.

Getting started &

using your oven

TRADITION programme

For this traditional cooking programme, it is best to cook

on one level only. Recommended for slow cooking or when

using a bain-marie. For a bain-marie, we recommend

placing the water directly in the enamel dish.

ROASTING programme

The upper heating element, the circular heating element

and the fan are all working.

The heat is radiated in a single direction, in combination

with the fan, in order to spread the heat evenly throughout

the oven. The risk of burning food on the outside is greater

and the heat penetration is greater. The oven door stays

closed during cooking.

WARMING programme

Both the circular heating element and the fan are used, but

only during the reheating phase. The temperature of the

oven is ideal for rising dough. During the rising phase, do

not open the oven door.

BRIOCHE programme

The parameters used make this cooking programme

programme ideal for cakes that use yeast rather than

baking powder.

PASTRY programme

The parameters used make this cooking programme ideal

for all pastry recipes.

PATISSERIE programme

This cooking programme is recommended for patisserie

(profiteroles and other choux pastry recipes, for example,

or Genoise cake), but not for BRIOCHES, PASTRY or

CAKES CONTAINING BAKING POWDER.

WHITE/GOLDEN MERINGUE programme

The temperatures are preselected and cannot be changed.

The WHITE MERINGUE programme is ideal for drying

meringues. The GOLDEN MERINGUE programme is

unbeatable for cooking meringues.

DEFROST programme

The fan at the bottom of the oven circulates the air at room

temperature around the food. This function can be used to

defrost any type of food but it is particularly recommended

for delicate foods that would be ruined by exposure to

heat, such as pavlovas, cream cakes, custard deserts,

cheesecakes or fruit flans.

LOW TEMPERATURE programmes

This type of cooking, that has been used for many years by

professional chefs, can be used to cook (meat, fish, fruit,

vegetables) at very low temperatures (85, 95 and 120 C)

and obtain perfect results to delight even the most

demanding of chefs.

Main advantages:

• Since the cooking temperatures are very low (in theory,

lower than evaporation point) the cooking juices are not

dispersed and the final dish is much more succulent.

• In meat, the muscle fibres shrink less compared to

traditional cooking.

The result: the meat is more tender and does not need to

rest after cooking. Meat should be browned before it is put

in the oven.

Low-temperature, vacuum cooking,

which has been used for thirty years by the best chefs, has

many qualities:

• Gastronomical qualities: it brings out the full flavour of

the food, while ensuring that it remains succulent and

tender.

• Hygiene: standards of hygiene are respected: this type of

cooking protects food against the harmful effects of

oxygen and prolongs the length of time that cooked dishes

may be kept in the fridge.

• Organization: since foods can be kept for longer, dishes

may be prepared well in advance.

• Healthy eating: this type of cooking requires less fat and

the dishes are therefore lighter and more easily digested.

• Economy: this mode considerably reduces the weight

loss of foods during cooking.

To use this technique, a vacuum machine and special

sachets are required.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully for

vacuum-packing food.

The vacuum technique can be used to preserve raw foods

(fruits, vegetables, etc.) and cooked foods (traditional

cooking).

PASTEURIZATION programme

This type of cooking is suitable for fruit, vegetables, etc.

Small recipients can be cooked on 2 levels (enamel tray on

level 1 and grid on level 3). Leave the recipients to cool

inside the oven. Cook from cold.

Getting started &

using your oven

AUTOMATIC cooking programme

So as not to distort the cooking times or change the

temperature, do not open the oven door during cooking.

The cooking temperature and duration are preselected

using the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system,

which automatically guarantees a perfect result. Cooking

stops automatically and the oven signals that the dish is

ready. This chapter was written with the invaluable help of

our culinary expert. We recommend following the advice

below to make the most of this expertise and obtain

perfect results in the kitchen. The choice of cooking

modes, temperatures and shelf levels are those that our

culinary expert uses regularly to obtain the best results.

Cooking advice

For fan-assisted cooking, do not use shelf 1 or 5: they are in

the direct line of the hot air, which could burn delicate

dishes.

If cooking in BARBECUE mode, place the drip tray on level

1 to catch the cooking juices and grease.

MULTI-LEVEL

• Place the drip tray at the bottom and the grids at the top.

PIZZAS or FOCACCIA

• Use a light aluminium dish with maximum diameter of

30 cm and place on the oven grid.

• If the pizzas have plenty of topping, add the mozzarella

only half way through cooking.

BARBECUE

• Preheat the oven for 5 minutes.

• Close the oven door during cooking.

• Place the grid on shelf level 2 or 3, and place the dishes

in the middle of the grid.

• This function is recommended for: sealing meat; browning

dishes or browning meringues; preparing toasted

sandwiches, cooking small portions of barbecued, lean, thin

meats.

• We recommend selecting the maximum energy level. Do

not worry if the upper heating element is not permanently

MICROWAVE cooking programmes

For each MICROWAVE function, the following table shows the

power and pre-selected cooking time for each cooking mode.

The power is fixed automatically depending on the type of

cooking chosen. It is, however, possible to modify it to adapt it

to a specific recipe.

You can alter the cooking time at any moment.

MICROWAVE programme

Select this function for the quick heating of drinks,

water and food that contains a lot of liquid.

The following microwave power levels are available:100-

200-300-400-500-600-700-800-900-1000W

Cooking dishes containing lots of water (soups,

sauces, tomatoes, etc.). (See Cooking guide)

DEFROST programme

This is the ideal function for defrosting frozen vegeta-

bles. Your microwave oven saves you lots of time To

defrost food use the DEFROST or MICROWAVE

functions, set to 200W power.

Tips :

Small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked immediately

after defrosting. Larger cuts such as meat roasts or whole fish

will still be slightly frozen at the end of the defrost programme.

We recommend that you let the food stand for a period of time

at least equal to the defrosting time to ensure an even

temperature.

Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this

case, you should increase the defrosting time.

Recommendations:

The defrosting time depends on the type of appliance. It

also depends on the shape, size, starting temperature and

quality of the food.

In most cases, the food must be removed from its packaging.

Remember to remove any metal staples from the packaging.

Half way through defrosting, the pieces of food should be

turned over, stirred and separated if they were frozen together.

Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an upside-down saucer on

top of a plate to allow the juices to run. If they stay in contact

with the food, it will overheat.

Never refreeze food before cooking it.

MULTI-LEVEL programme

The circulating heat + micro-wave cooking mode
