To switch on the grill, turn the oven function knob to
position and then turn the oven thermostat knob to
210°C temperature.
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to
allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats
and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food.
Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to
minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly
with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist
during cooking.
Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms
may be placed underneath the grid when grilling
meats.
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner
position is used with the grid in its 'high' position.
Preheat the grill for a few minutes before sealing
steaks or toasting. Adjust the shelf as necessary,
during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
NOTE: for safety in use, the thermostat controls
the grill element. During cooking, the grill cycles
on and off to prevent overheating.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat
and not on its weight.
Caution: Accessible parts may be hot
when the grill is in use. Young children should be
kept away.
Upper and lower oven elements – Fan
Heat is transmitted to food by means of pre-heated
air throughout a fan located on the back wall of the
oven. In this way heat can rapidly reach every part of
the oven and cook simultaneously many dishes
placed on several shelves. Thanks to the elimination
of dampness and the consequently drier air, this kind
of cooking prevents any flavour transference.
However the oven can also be used for cooking on
one shelf only. In this case use the lower shelves to
better control cooking. Moreover, this oven is
particularly suitable for a rapid thawing, sterilizing
suitable preserves and homemade fruit in syrup, and
for dryng mushrooms and fruit.

Turn the oven function knob to the position .
-
Turn the oven thermostat knob to the selected
temperature.
Defrost
The defrosting function allows you to defrost frozen
foods. The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, inside the
oven.
This increases the rate at which defrosting takes
place.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food
that could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled
gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast
products.
-
Turn the oven function knob to position , to
start the motor fan that will permit a quick
thawing by blowing cold air throughout the oven.
-
With the oven function knob in this position turn
the oven thermostat knob up to the position «

Hints and tips
•
Cover food with a lid, aluminium foil or plastic film
to prevent drying out during defrosting.
•
Place the food to be defrosted in a single layer
where possible and turn it over half way through
the defrosting process.
•
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once it
is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or store
cooked food in the fridge.
•
Take care to follow the basic rules for hygiene
when handling fresh, frozen, raw and cooked
foods.
