GB * Only available in certain models. 5 Cooking modes GB !A temperature value can be set for all cooking modes between 50°C and MAX, except for the GRILL programme, for which only the MAX power level is recommended. STATIC OVEN mode Both the top and bottom heating elements will come on. When using this traditional cooking mode, it is best to use one cooking rack only. This position is recommended for perfecting the cooking of dishes (in baking trays) which are already cooked on the surface but require further cooking in the centre, or for desserts with a covering of fruit or jam, which only require moderate colouring on the surface. It should be noted that this function does not allow the maximum temperature to be reached inside the oven (250°C) and it is therefore not recommended that foods are cooked using only this setting, unless you are baking cakes (which should be baked at a temperature of 180°C or lower). 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 recommended for dishes that require a high surface temperature: beef steaks, veal, rib steak, fillets, hamburgers etc. . . Important: When using the grill, the oven door must be left partly open !The internal surfaces of the compartment (where present) may become hot Practical cooking advice !In the GRILL cooking mode, place the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat and/or grease). The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat and may not always operate constantly. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total cooking time. • If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through the cooking process. . 6 Using the electric hob Practical advice on using the electric hotplates To avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplates use pans with a flat base, whose diameter is no less than that of the hotplate itself. Before using the hotplates for the first time, you should heat them at maximum temperature for approximately 4 minutes, without placing any pans on them. During this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and reaches its maximum resistance.

Do not use rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack. • The accessories can be washed like everyday crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.
