!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 z 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.
