They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. [. . . ] gRILL mode The top heating element comes on. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recommended for dishes that require a high surface temperature: such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers etc. Some grilling examples are included in the “Practical Cooking Advice” paragraph. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. GRATIN mode The top heating element, as well as the fan, will come on. 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 helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fanassisted cooking. In the GRILL and GRATIN cooking modes, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). MULTI-COOKING • Use position 2 and 4, placing the food that requires more heat on 2. • Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top. gRILL • Insert the rack in position 3 or 4. Place the food in the centre of the rack. • We recommend that you set the maximum power level. The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always be on. PIZZA • For best results when cooking pizza, use the MULTI-COOKING mode. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan (prevents crust from forming by extending cooking time). • If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process. 19 GB Cooking advice table Cooking modes Foods Duck Roast veal or beef Pork roast Biscuits (short pastry) Tarts Pizza (on 2 racks) Lasagne Lamb Roast chicken + potatoes Mackerel Plum cake Cream puffs (on 2 racks) Biscuits (on 2 racks) Sponge cake (on 1 rack) Sponge cake (on 2 racks) Savoury pies Browning food to perfect cooking Soles and cuttlefish Squid and prawn kebabs Cod filet Grilled vegetables Veal steak Cutlets Hamburgers Mackerels Toasts Grilled chicken Cuttlefish Weight (in kg) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1+1 1 1 0. 5 Rack position 3 3 3 3 3 2 and 4 3 2 2 and 4 2 2 2 and 4 2 and 4 2 2 and 4 3 3/4 4 4 4 3 or 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 2 Preheating time (min) 15 15 15 15 15 15 10 10 15 10 10 10 10 10 10 15 15 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 Recommended temperature 200 200 200 180 180 230 180 180 200 180 170 190 180 170 170 200 220 Max Max Max Max Max Max Max Max Max 200 200 Cooking time (minutes) 65-75 70-75 70-80 15-20 30-35 15-20 30-35 40-45 60-70 30-35 40-50 20-25 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 8-10 6-8 10 10-15 15-20 15-20 7-10 15-20 2-3 55-60 30-35 Convection Oven Multi-cooking Top oven Grill Gratin 20 Hob Type of hob The oven is combined with a hob that can be made up of two types of heating elements: cast-iron electric plates (see diagram 1) or glass ceramic hobs, which may be traditional (see diagram 2) or with extendable cooking zones (see diagram 3).
