[. . . ] The high, direct grill temperature immediately browns meat, thus stopping juice dispersion and keeping meat more tender. The grill is particularly recommended for cooking dishes requiring a high superficial temperature: beef and veal steaks, entrecote, fillet steaks, hamburgers etc. Both of the central heating element of the grill are activated, as well as the fan. This combination of features increases the effectiveness of the 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. This setting is ideal when cooking delicate foods, especially pastries that need to raise, because the heat rising from the bottom facilitates leavening. Please note that with this feature it takes a rather long time to reach higher temperatures in the oven. Therefore, if high temperatures are needed, we recommend that you use the “Conventional” setting. Since the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, the air cooks and browns food uniformly over its entire surface. With this mode, you can also cook various dishes at the same time, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same. A maximum of 2 rack levels can be used at the same time, following the instructions in the section entitled, “Cooking On More Than One Rack”. This cooking mode is ideal for au gratin dishes or those which require an extended cooking time. Moreover, the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when cooking roasts. This results in less loss of juices, meat which is more tender and a decrease in the loss of weight for the roast. The ventilated mode is especially suited for cooking fish, which can be prepared with the addition of a limited amount of condiments, thus maintaining their flavor and appearance. The ventilated mode can also be used to thaw white or red meat, fish and bread by setting the temperature to 80°-100°C. If the appliance has been on for an extended amount of time at maximum temperature and this advice is not taken, a safety device to protect the same is activated, which interrupts the electricity supply temporarily. When the light alternately comes on and goes out, it means that the thermostat is working properly to maintain the oven temperature. Timer knob 4 To use the timer, you must wind the alarm by turning the knob almost one complete turn clockwise; then turn the knob back to set the time by positioning the minutes required on the index of the facia. Oven light When the selector knob is in any position other than the “●” position, the oven light comes on. NOTE: to turn the oven light on without activating any of the heating elements, the selection knob “ 3 ” must be turned to the setting indicated by the symbol and the thermostat knob “ 2 ” must be set to zero indicated by the “●” symbol.
