Chapter 2 - Using the control and setting the modes

Preheat the oven for 5 minutes, with the door slightly ajar (as highlighted in Figure 1).

Once the preheating time is complete, place the food being grilled directly on the wire rack (Figure 2) and close the door, leaving it ajar, as shown in Figure 3; remember to turn the food half way through cooking. Important: for best results, place the food on the wire rack (I), leaving an empty space of around 1 in near the door (see Figure 2).

To top-brown casseroles with crumb or cheese toppings, place the shallow pan directly in slot 1; if the food has been prepared on a container, put the con- tainer on the wire rack inserted in slot 2 (as shown in the figure 4).

NOTE: Oven-glass dishes should not be exposed to direct broiler heat.

Since fish is non-fatty it can be broiled directly on shallow pan. Broil until it flakes easily with a fork. Thin fillets need not to be turned.

To correctly toast bread, place the slices as shown in the figure to the side, that is, leaving 1 in of free space at the ends of the wire rack.
