Cooking modes
! GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power
level);
Thermostatically controlled oven (Fan Assisted
Mode)
When the SELECTOR knob is turned in a clockwise
direction to the symbol "Light/defrost" the fan and
oven light will come on to assist in the defrosting of
frozen food. Rotating further to the complete range
of temperatures shown on the dial you can choose
which is most suitable for the food you are going to
cook. The temperature is reached automatically and
controlled by the oven thermostat (from 60°C to
MAX).
! Whilst using tag oven for conventional VARIABLE
GRILL knob must be set with MAX in line with the
reference mark on the control panel.
GRILL mode
The top heating element comes on. The extremely
high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts
while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The
grill is also highly recommended for dishes that
require a high temperature on the surface: such as
beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc...
Some grilling examples are included in the Practical
Cooking Advice paragraph. Always cook in this
mode with the oven door partially open.
To operate the grill:
1. Turn the oven SELECTOR knob clockwise until the
required grilling symbol is in line with the mark on
the control panel. The element is now on.
2. The VARIABLE GRILL knob can now be operated
to select the required heat.
Practical cooking advice
! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. Excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.
! In the GRILL cooking modes, place the dripping
pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease).
GRILL
Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in
the centre of the rack.
We recommend that you set the maximum power
level. The top heating element is regulated by a
thermostat and may not always be on.
PIZZA
Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan
(prevents crust from forming by extending
cooking time).
If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.
