BARBECUE mode
GB
The central part of the top heating element is
switched on. The high and direct temperature of the
grill is recommended for food that requires a high
surface temperature (veal and beef steaks, fillet
steak and entrecôte).
This cooking mode uses a limited amount of energy
and is ideal for grilling small dishes. Place the food
in the centre of the rack, as it will not be cooked
properly if it is placed in the corners.
GRATIN mode
The top heating element and the fan will begin to
operate. This combination of features increases the
effectiveness of the unidirectional thermal radiation
provided by the heating elements through forced
circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevent food from burning on the surface and allows
the heat to penetrate right into the food.
! The BARBECUE and GRATIN cooking modes must
be performed with the oven door shut.
The rotisserie spit
To activate the rotisserie spit, proceed as follows:
a) Place the dripping pan on the 1st rack.
b) Position the rotisserie support on the 3rd rack and
insert the spit towards the rear, threading it
through the hole provided.
c) Start the rotisserie by turning the oven knob to the
or position.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-
assisted cooking. This is because excessive direct
heat can burn temperature sensitive foods.
! 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).
MULTILEVEL
• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which
requires more heat on 2.
• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack
on top.
BARBECUE
• Place the rack in position 3 or 4. Position the food
in the centre of the rack.
• We recommend that the power level is set to
maximum. The top heating element is regulated
by a thermostat and may not always operate
constantly.
PIZZA
• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the
rack provided.
For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as
it prevents the crust from forming by extending
the total 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.
