Practical cooking advice

MULTILEVEL

•Use positions 1, 3, 5 and 6.

•Place the dripping pan at the bottom and the rack at the top.

BARBECUE

•Preheat the oven for 5 minutes.

•Keep the oven door closed when cooking in this mode.

•Place the dripping pan on shelf level 3. Place the rack in a position between 4 and 7, depending on how bulky the food is, and make sure the food is in the centre of the rack. Examples: beef ribs should be cooked on shelf level 4 and bacon on shelf level 6 or 7.

PIZZA or FOCACCIA

•Use a light aluminium tray with a maximum diameter of 30 cm, placing it on top of the rack supplied.

•If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process.

GRILL

•Preheat the oven for 5 minutes.

•Fit the DIVIDER to the DIVIDER rack “D”.

•Keep the oven door closed when cooking in this mode.

•Place the rack in position 7. Position the food in the centre of the rack. Position the dripping pan on shelf level 6.

•This function is particularly suitable for browning food, cooking gratins, colouring meringues, making toasted sandwiches and grilling small quantities of thin, lean meat.

•We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

FAST COOKING
