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.

!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 closed.
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.
