delicate foods, set the thermostat to 50°C or use only the cold
air circulation feature by setting the thermostat to 0°C.
3. Grill
- Position of the "L" knob:
- Position of the "M" knob: Max
The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it
possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking
in the juices to keep them tender. The grill is also highly recom-
mended for dishes that require high temperature on the surface:
beef steaks, veal, entrecôte, filets, hamburger etc...
4. The "Double Grill"
- Position of the "L" knob:
- Position of the "M" knob: Max
This oversized grill has a completely new design, increasing
cooking efficiency by 50%. The double grill also eliminates pock-
ets of unheated air in the corners of the oven.
Important: Always leave the oven door closed when using
the grill setting n order to achieve the best results and save on
energy (about 10%).
When using the grill, place the rack at the top rack heights (see
cooking table) and place the dripping-pan beneath the oven rack
to prevent grease from falling onto the bottom of the oven.
5. Ventilated Double Grill
- Position of the "L" knob:
- Position of the "M" knob: between 50 and 200°C
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the
unidirectional thermal radiation of the heating elements through
forced air circulation of the air throughout the oven. This helps
prevents foods from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to
penetrate into the food. Excellent results are achieved with ke-
babs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb
chops, chicken, quail, pork chops, etc. This mode is also ideal
for cooking fish steaks, like swordfish, tuna, grouper etc.
In this function, the rotisserie motor will also turn on (where
present). Cooking with this function is especially recommended
for meat dishes such as loins, poultry, etc....
Note: When using the grill (features 3, 4, 5), the oven door
must be closed.

Thermostat Light (O)

This light indicates that the oven is heating. When it turns off, the
temperature inside the oven has reached the setting made with
the thermostat knob. At this point, the light will turn on and off as
the oven maintains the temperature at a constant level.

Timer Knob (only a few models)

To use the timer, the ringer "S" must be wound up by turning the
knob one full turn clockwise
desired time so that the number of minutes on the knob matches
the reference mark on the panel.
Attention
Avoid the children touch the oven door because it is very hot
during the cooking.

b) insert the special rotisserie support on the 4th rack and
position the spit by inserting it through the special hole into
the rotisserie at the back of the oven;
c) to start the spit, set the oven selection knob (L) on setting

Practical Advice on Using the Burners

Storage recess below the oven (only a few models)

Below the oven a recess can be used to contain cooking pans
and cooker accessories. Moreover, during oven operation, it may
be used to keep food warm.To open the storage is necessary
turn it downwards.
Caution: this storage recess must not be used to store
inflammable materials.
Oven door kit
In order to further decrease the temperature of the oven door
and reduce energy consumption, a supplemental kit has been
made available. This kit should be installed if the oven is used in
the presence of small children. To install the protective glass for
the oven door (code 076650), contact your nearest Merloni
Eletrodomestici Service Centre indicated on the list provided
with the appliance.
