[. . . ] 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. 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. GB Practical cooking advice  Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fanassisted cooking. excessive direct heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.  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 MULTICOOKING 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. 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 19 GB Cooking advice table Cooking m odes 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 W eight (in kg) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1+ 1 1 1 0. 5 Rack position from bottom 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 Pre-heating time (m in) 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 Recom mended 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 (m inutes) 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 M ulti-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). • Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is always dry and clean to guarantee correct adherence and long life, not only for the cooking zones but also for the cookware itself. • Avoid using the same cookware that is used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly. [. . . ] • All accessories - with the exception of the sliding racks - can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe. • Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. Remove the glass cover of the lampholder. Remove the light bulb and replace it with a similar one: Wattage 25 W, cap E 14. [. . . ]
