With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience. Cooking on More Than One Rack If you have to cook food using several racks, use either but also to cook the bottom part. Moreover, it can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes, for example. When using this mode, place the grid on the 2nd or 3rd oven rack from the bottom (see cooking table) then, to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the bottom of the oven and thus smoke from forming, place a drippingpan on the 1st rack from the bottom. Important: always cook in “Gratin” mode with the oven door shut. This will allow you both to obtain excellent results and to save on energy (approximately 10%). When using this mode, we advise you to set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient way to use the grill, which is based on the use of infrared rays.
