You may detect smoke or a burning smell when 
using the grill and convection for the first time. 
This is normal and not a sign that the oven is out of 
order.
To avoid this problem, when first using the oven, 
heat the oven without food for 20 minutes on grill 
and then at convection 250ºC.

IMPORTANT:  During operation, to allow smoke 
or smells to disperse open a window or switch the 
kitchen ventilation on. Make sure there is no food in 
the oven.

The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one 
power setting only. The grill is assisted by the 
turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure 
even browning.
Use the racks for grilling small items of food such 
as bacon, gammon and teacakes, turn over halfway 
through grilling.
Food can be placed either directly onto the racks, or 
into a flan dish/heat-resistant plate on the racks.

NOTES:
•  It is not necessary to preheat the grill before 

cooking.

•  Follow the recommended grilling times and 

procedures in the charts on page 44 in the 
cookbook section.

•  When browning foods in a deep container, place 

on the turntable or low rack.

•  The shelves are not suitable for grill cooking.
•  After cooking is complete and opening the door, 

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 COOLING”.

Example:
To grill for 20 minutes, using GRILL.

1.  Enter the grilling time by pressing the 

10 MIN. key twice.
