meat in the centre of the grid and put a spill-tray underneath
to catch grease drips. Insert the grid so that it is in the
middle of the oven. If more heat from below is required,
use the 1° bottom shelf.
To grill
When using any of the grilling modes, it is recommended
that the thermostat knob be turned to the highest setting,
as it is the most efficient way to use the grill (which utilizes
infrared rays). If necessary, however, the thermostat can
be set to lower temperatures for grilling. When using the
grill functions, place the grid on the lower racks (see cooking
table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto
the bottom of the oven and smoke from forming, place a
dripping-pan on the 1st oven rack from the bottom.

Cooker routine maintenance and cleaning

Before each operation, disconnect the cooker from the
electricity.To assure the long life of the cooker, it must be
thoroughly cleaned frequently, keeping in mind that:
• • • • • Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.
• the enamelled parts and the self-cleaning panels are
washed with warm water without using any abrasive
powders or corrosive substances which could ruin
them;
• the inside of the oven should be cleaned fairly often
while it is still warm using warm water and detergent,
followed by careful rinsing and drying;
• the electric plates are cleaned with a damp cloth and
they should be lubricated with a little oil while they still
warm;
• Stainless steel may become marked if it comes into
contact with very hard water or harsh detergents
(containing phosphorous) for long periods of time. After
cleaning, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry. It
is also recommended to dry any water drops;
Important: always use the grill with the oven door closed.
This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to
save on energy (approximately 10%). Table 1 includes
the recommended temperatures, cooking times and
positions for you to obtain the best results when cooking.
