NOTES:
• For Combi-2 and Combi-3 it is not necessary

to preheat the grill.

and procedures in the charts on pages 39 - 40.

• When browning foods in a deep container,

place on the turntable or low rack.

oven is in convection mode will differ from the
displayed level. This is due to the grill elements
turning on and off in order to regulate the
oven temperature. This will not affect the
cooking results as long as the operation manual
and cook book are followed correctly.

• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will

continue working for a short time to lower the
temperature of the electrical and mechanical
parts. The display may show “NOW
