2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the
shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat con-
trol light will operate in the same way as described for the
fan oven function.
How to use the Inner Grill Element
The grill provides quick direct heat to the central area of
the grill pan. By using the grill element for cooking small
quantities, it can help to save energy.
1. Turn the oven control function knob on
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature.
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the in-
structions for grilling.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat. During
cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent overheating.
How to Use the Thermal Grill
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking
food items normally associated with conventional grill-
ing.
The grill element and the oven fan operate alternately,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and
turn the food is reduced.
Helpful hints and tips
On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium temperature
(150°C-200°C) and therefore it is necessary to preheat
the oven for about 10 minutes.
Do not open the oven door before 3/4 of the baking time
has elapsed.
Shortcrust pastry is baked in a springform tin or on a tray
for up to 2/3 of the baking time and then garnished before
being fully baked. This further baking time depends on
the type and amount of topping or filling. Sponge mixtures
must separate with difficulty from the spoon. The baking
time would be unnecessarily extended by too much liquid.

Thermal grilling helps to minimize cooking smells in the
kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can ther-
mally grill all the foods you would normally cook under
a conventional grill.
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a
little longer to cook with thermal grilling compared with
conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger
quantities can be cooked at the same time.
1. Turn the oven control function knob on
2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required
temperature. Select a maximum temperature of
200°C .
3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the in-
structions for grilling.
Defrosting
.
The oven fan operates without heat and circulates the air,
at room temperature, inside the oven. This increases the
speed of defrosting. However, please note that the tem-
perature of the kitchen will influence the speed of de-
frosting.
This function is particularly suitable for delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream filled ga-
teaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast prod-
ucts.
How to use defrosting
1. Turn the oven function control knob to symbol
2. Ensure the thermostat control knob is in the OFF po-
sition.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are inserted
into the oven at the same time, a shelf level must be left
free between the trays.
If two baking trays with pastries or biscuits are inserted
into the oven at the same time, the trays must be swapped
and turned around after about 2/3 of the baking time.
On Roasting:
Do not roast joints smaller than 1 kg. Smaller pieces could
dry out when roasting. Dark meat, which is to be well done
on the outside but remain medium or rare inside, must be
roasted at a higher temperature (200°C-250°C).
