: "Grill"
The top heating element comes on: the grill goes red and
emits infrared rays. This cooking mode does not
essentially intend to heat up the air inside the oven, but
rather to expose the food directly to these rays.
Use this cooking mode with the oven door closed.
We recommend you start with the oven cold.
The amount of heat radiated is adjustable on the
temperature selector.
Place the grill pan on the first shelf position from the bottom
in order to catch any fat or juices that may drip from the
dish and place the shelf on one of the top shelf positions
depending on the size of the meat.
: "Gratin"
Only the top heating element comes on, with the emission
of infrared rays. The forced circulation of air caused by
the fan at the back of the oven ensures the uniform
distribution of heat throughout, and all foods benefit from
the following at the same time:
the infrared rays that guarantee the perfect cooking
of the food surface, sealing in the tenderness and juices
in the case of meat,
the hot air that also allows for the food to be cooked
thoroughly via conduction.
This cooking mode is recommended when cooking roasts
(red or white meats), and for poultry.
Place the shelf on the 2
nd
shelf position from the oven
bottom as a support for the meat and the grill pan on the
1st shelf position from the bottom to catch any dripping
fat or juices.
Always place your food in the oven when it is cold.
Your oven is equipped with a rotisserie, you can use it
with the functions grill and gratin. Always keep the oven
door shut when using the rotisserie and start with the oven
cold in order to avoid scalding yourselves when positioning
the spit.
Place the grill pan on the 1st shelf position from the bottom
to catch any dripping fat or juices and position the rotisserie
on the 3
rd
shelf position from the oven bottom (please see
the next paragraph for instructions on positioning the
rotisserie).
When using the "grill" or "gratin" modes, remember
to keep children away from the accessible parts of
the appliance as they become very hot.
The Controls
Continued ventilation
The fan stays on when cooking is finished in order to cool
the oven down. So do not worry if you hear the fan going
even after you have turned the controls off. The fan will
stop when the temperature has dropped below 120°C.
: Fast Clean
This process cleans the oven fully.
