Lower compartment* There is a compartment underneath the oven that may be used to store oven accessories or deep dishes. To open the door pull it downwards (see figure). Cooking modes  A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power level is recommended. = STATIC OVEN mode Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. If more than one rack is used, the heat will be distributed unevenly. o OVEN BOTTOM mode The lower heating element is activated. This position is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on the surface but require further cooking in the centre, or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only require moderate colouring on the surface. It should be noted that this function does not allow the maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of 180°C or lower). [. . . ] We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals have been replaced.
