When using the drip tray under the grid, pour in a little water to avoid fat spatters and smoke. 2 Baking tray 2 For cooking biscuits, meringues and pizzas. 3 The grid can be used to grill food or as a support for baking trays, cake tins and other cooking receptacles. It can be placed on any of the runners in the oven. For AU only: the grid must be positioned into the oven with the reinforce towards the oven rear wall. Grid 3 Catalytic panels 4 These panels have a microporous coating that absorbs fat spatters. We recommend an automatic cleaning cycle after cooking particularly fatty food. To clean the oven heat it to 200°C when empty and leave it switched on for about an hour. • When cooking meat, to avoid spatters of fat and smoke, pour a little water into the drip tray. • Turn the food half-way through grilling time. “MLTF” FUNCTION (Heat maintenance) This function keeps one of two temperature levels of temperature (either 35°C or 60°C) inside the oven. • Setting the temperature at 35°C is particularly useful to raise dough for bread and pizza. For this function it is advisable to use the first shelf level. • Use the 60°C temperature setting to keep the food warm once it is cooked. PROGRAMME FUNCTION This function is useful to bake pizza, bread and focaccia. The function provides 3 cooking programs (P1, P2, P3) with preset initial temperatures that can be adjusted by the user. The maximum temperature values that can be adjusted by the user are: 240°C for P1, 200°C for P2 and 190°C for P3 in order to obtain uniform cooking results. Each programme corresponds to a recipe for the preparation of the dish you want. Programme P1 allows rapid preheating with an initial temperature of 300°C and cooking temperature of 240°C. To improve energy saving and avoid wasting electricity, there is no preheating if the oven is already warm and the cooking temperature is set automatically (240°C). For programmes P2 and P3 the initial temperature is always 220°C. FAN FUNCTION This function is especially useful for simultaneously cooking different foods at more than one shelf level (for example: fish, vegetables, pasta). [. . . ] Wash the accessories in a dishwasher or in the sink, using an oven cleaner. After the oven has been in prolonged use and when cooking on different levels (especially food with high water contents such as pizzas, stuffed vegetables, etc. ) condensation may form on the door and on the inside of the door seal: when the oven is cool, dry any condensation with a cloth or sponge. Removing the oven door (for cleaning) 1. Lift the catches until they engage and then remove the door. Important: While you are cleaning the oven, ensure you do not disengage the hinge retainer catches. [. . . ]
