meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-tray underneath to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so that it is in the middle of the oven. If more heat from below is required, use the 1° bottom shelf.

To grill

When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which utilizes infrared rays). If necessary, however, the thermostat can be set to lower temperatures for grilling. When using the grill functions, place the grid on the lower racks (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). Table 1 includes the recommended temperatures, cooking times and positions for you to obtain the best results when cooking.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:

Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.

the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are washed with warm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances which could ruin them;

the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often while it is still warm using warm water and detergent, followed by careful rinsing and drying;

the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still warm;

Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into contact with very hard water or harsh detergents (containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It is also recommended to dry any water drops;

Replacing the oven lamp

Unplug the oven from the mains;

Remove the glass cover of the lamp-holder;

Remove the lamp and replace with a lamp resistant to high temperatures (300°C) with the following characteristics::

-Voltage 230V

-Wattage 25W

-Type E14

Replace the glass cover and reconnect the oven to the mains.

Removing the lid

The cooker lid can be removed to facilitate cleaning. To remove the lid, first open it completely and pull it upwards (see figure)
