Grilling
– Most foods should be placed on the grid
in the grill pan to allow maximum circula-
tion of air and to lift the food out of the fats
or juices. If preferred, foods such as, e. g.
fish, liver and kidneys may be placed di-
rectly on the grill pan.
– Food should be thoroughly dried before
grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean
meats and fish lightly with a little oil or mel-
ted butter to keep them moist during cook-
ing.
– Accompaniments such, e. g. tomatoes
and mushrooms may be placed under-
neath the grid when grilling meats.
– When toasting bread, we suggest that the
top runner position is used.
– The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.
Using the grill
The grill causes direct heat to gather quickly
in the middle of the grill pan. For best results,
grill food in small quantities. Energy can also
be saved in this way.
1. Turn the oven control in order to turn on
the oven
2. Turn the temperature control to the tem-
perature you want.
3. Choose the suitable shelf for the grill pan
and grill according to whether or not the
food to be grilled is thick or thin. Follow
the instructions for grilling.
The grill element is controlled by the thermo-
stat. During the grilling process the grill inter-
mittently switches itself on and off in order to
avoid overheating.
Thermal grill
Thermal grill offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with

Tips and cooking tables

On baking:
Cakes and pastries usually require a medium
temperature (150°C-200°C).
Therefore, it is necessary to pre-heat the
oven for approx. 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.
conventional grilling. The grill element and the
oven fan operate simultaneously, circulating
hot air around the food.
The need to check and turn the food is re-
duced.
Thermal grill helps to minimise cooking
smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks,
you can thermally grill all the foods you would
normally cook under a conventional grill.
Cooking is more gentle; therefore food gen-
erally takes a little longer to cook with thermal
grilling compared with conventional grilling.
One of the advantages is that larger quanti-
ties can be cooked at the same time.
1. Turn the oven control in order to turn on
the oven
2. Important! Set the thermal grill at a
maximum temperature of 200°C.
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and cir-
culates the air, at room temperature, inside
the oven.
This increases the speed of defrosting.
However, please note that the temperature
of the kitchen will influence the speed of de-
frosting.
This function is particularly suitable for de-
frosting delicate food which could be dam-
aged by heat, e.g. cream filled gateaux, iced
cakes, pastries, bread and other yeast prod-
ucts.
Make sure that the temperature controller is
in the OFF position.
This further baking time depends on the type
and amount of topping or filling.
Sponge mixtures must separate with difficul-
ty from the spoon.
The baking time would be unnecessarily ex-
tended by too much liquid.
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.
