[. . . ] 3 English GB WARNING The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may become hot. Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. Remove any liquid from the lid before opening it. Do not close the glass cover (if present) when the gas burners or electric hotplates are still hot. [. . . ] The high and direct temperature of the grill is recommended for food that requires high surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven door closed. GRATIN mode The top heating element as well as the fan and the rotisserie (where present) 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 BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes, particularly when using the rotisserie, 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. bARBECUE • 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. 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. 26 The electronic cooking programmer DISPLAY GB END OF COOKING icon DURATION icon DECREASE TIME button SET TIME button •• •• CLOCK icon TIMER icon 2.
