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.

Setting the Oven to Switch On and Off Automatically

To programme the cooking mode, follow the instructions below:

•select the cooking mode by turning the function selector "B", and the temperature by turning control "C".

•set the cooking time by pressing button 2. The recommended cooking time comes up on the display, and you can adjust this by turning control "C". Please remember that the time entered does not include the necessary pre-heating stage.

•set the end cooking time by pressing button 1. Turn control "C" until the display panel features the time you want the food to be ready. The display panel will feature the end cooking time and the start time is calculated by subtracting the cooking time, as well as the time necessary for the oven to preheat (automatically calculated by the appliance according to the cooking mode selected).

After these selection procedures, the display panel will show the time at which preheating will commence (where required), and that at which cooking will finish. The finish time can still be altered up until the cooking mode and temperature reappears on the display panel. Any incorrect data can be corrected simply by repeating the above instructions.

This information will now be remembered until you press start or turn selector 2.
