The Controls
Grill
k
Position knob “C”: 50%, 75%, 100%.
The top central 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 tempera-
ture on the surface: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, ham-
burgers etc...
Always leave the oven door ajar during cooking.
Note: turn knob “C” and the display will indicate the 3 differ-
ent energy percentages which represent the minimum (50%),
medium (75%) and maximum setting (100%) respectively.
Gratin
l
(fanned grill)
Position knob “C”: between 40°C and 200°C.
The top central heating element and the fan come on.
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of
the heating elements through forced circulation of the air
throughout the oven. This
helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing
the heat to penetrate right into the food. Excellent results are
achieved with kebabs made with meats and vegetables,
sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken in a spicy sauce, quail,
pork chops, etc.
All cooking using “Gratin” must be done with the oven
door shut.
This mode is also ideal for cooking fish steaks, like sword-
fish, tuna etc.
