Cooking with the grill The heat coming from the grill heating element gives perfect grilling results above all for thin and medium thickness meat and allows you to give the food an even browning at the end of the cooking (use the 3rd or 4th shelf). The tray should be placed on the upper runner. For short-term cooking of small quantities of food, place the rack in the third runner from the bottom. For long-term cooking and grilling, put the rack in the lowest runner in accordance with the size of the pieces. The grill function is set at a grilling temperature of approximately 290°C. This temperature cannot be changed by the user. Grilling can only take place with the oven door closed: Opening the door deactivates the heating elements. Humidification is not active when cooking with the grill. 32 Use 3. 5 Cooking advice General advice • Use a fan assisted function to achieve consistent cooking at several levels. • It is not possible to shorten cooking times by increasing the temperature (the food could be overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside).
