7.1Warnings and general advice

Using the oven and the grill for the first time, heat them to the maximum temperature (260°C) for as long as it takes to burn off any production oil residues which could give a nasty flavour to the food. After a power cut,

the oven display will flash intermittently and show . To adjust refer to paragraph “5.2 Electronic Programmer”.

To prevent any steam in the oven creating problems, open the door in two stages: half open (5 cm approx.) for 4-5 seconds and then fully open. To access food, always leave the door open as short a time as possible to prevent the temperature in the oven from falling and ruining the food.

7.2Use of the electric grill

For short cooking procedures, such as the final crisping of meat which is

already cooked, select the static grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the maximum temperature. The fan grill function allows actual cooking procedures to be carried out, thanks to the fan function which ensures that the heat penetrates into the food. For this cooking mode,

select the fan grill function and turn the thermostat knob to the ideal cooking temperature (never set at more than 220). Cooking procedures in this mode must never last more than 60 minutes.

All cooking with the grill and grill + spit must be done with the door closed to prevent the knobs and the front panel of the equipment to overheat.

Failure to do this will void the warranty.

How to use the grill

Food should be flavoured and basted with oil or melted butter before cooking. An oven dish should be used to contain the sauces. The food should be placed on the oven shelf which is positioned on one of the guides supplied with the different ovens, following the instructions below:
