[. . . ] By selecting & with the knob, the light is switched on without any of the heating elements being activated. > FAN OVEN mode The top and bottom heating elements will switch on and the fan will begin to operate. Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two racks may be used at the same time. The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires a high surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet steak and entrecôte). This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked properly if it is placed in the corners. @ DOUBLE GRILL mode The top heating element is switched on. This provides a larger grill than the normal grill setting and has an innovative design that improves cooking efficiency by 50% and eliminates the cooler corner areas. Use this grilling mode to achieve a uniform browning on top of the food. A DOUBLE GRILL mode Cooking modes  A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the following modes: • GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL (recommended: set only to MAX power level). FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL (recommended: do not exceed 200°C). The top heating element and the fan begins to operate. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through forced circulation of the air throughout the oven. This prevents the food from burning on top by enabling heat to penetrate into the food more effectively; it is therefore an ideal way of cooking food quickly under the grill or for grilling large pieces of meat without having to use the turnspit.  The GRILL, DOUBLE GRILL and FAN-ASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes must be performed with the oven door shut.  When using the GRILL and DOUBLE GRILL cooking modes, place the rack in position 5 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). When using the FANASSISTED DOUBLE GRILL cooking mode, place the rack in position 2 or 3 and the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues. = STATIC OVEN mode Both the top and bottom heating elements will be activated. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use only one rack at a time, otherwise the heat will not be distributed evenly. Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction " for almost one complete revolution to set the buzzer. Turn the TIMER knob in an anticlockwise direction # to set the desired length of time. [. . . ] We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced. Cleaning the appliance  Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents such as stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.  Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. • It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll. [. . . ]
