Fan with lower element The combination of the fan with just the lower heating element allows cooking to be completed more rapidly. This system is recommended for sterilising or for finishing off the cooking of foods which are already well-cooked on the surface, but not inside, which therefore need a little more heat.

Advice for cooking meat • Cooking times vary according to the thickness and quality of the food and to consumer taste. • Use a meat thermometer when roasting meat, or simply press on the roast with a spoon. If it is hard, it is ready; if not, it needs another few minutes cooking. [. . . ] At the end of the pyrolytic cycle, the fans will continue to operate for long enough to avoid overheating the walls of adjacent units and the front of the oven. If the pyrolytic cycle gives unsatisfactory results at minimum duration, it is recommended to set a longer time for successive cleaning cycles. After selecting the pyrolytic cycle duration, press the temperature knob. Turn the temperature knob to set the time at which you wish to complete the pyrolytic cycle. [. . . ]
