The Controls

: "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 2nd 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 3rd 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.

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.
