Practical cooking advice

￿Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan- assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.

￿In the BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie spit, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease).

MULTILEVEL

Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires more heat on 2.

Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

BARBECUE

Place the grill rack in position 3 or 4 and place the food in the centre of the rack.

We recommend that the power level is set to maximum. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA

Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack provided.

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total 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.
