NOTES for GRILL and COMBI COOKING:

•  It is not necessary to preheat the grill.
•  When browning food place it either on the low or high rack or in a deep container on the truntable.
•  You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the fi rst time. This is normal and not 

a sign that the oven has malfunctioned. To avoid this problem, when fi rst using the oven, heat the oven 
without food for 20 minutes on grill and then on convection at 230°C.
