  • Page 9: Grilling Table

    Grilling Grilling enables you to heat and brown food quickly without using microwaves. The oven has both an upper and a lower grill which may be operated in unison or independently. When used for the first time, the grill elements will generate smoke and release an odour. We therefore recommend that you heat both the upper and lower grill elements for 10 minutes before placing food in the oven.

If the cooking is not started immediately thereafter, the oven will maintain the selected temperature for another 15 minutes and then switch off automatically.
