meat and fish and browning gratins.

from the upper heating element.
- Place the tray (drip pan) beneath the grill at
level 1 to catch splashes of grease or fat.

When cooking fatty meat, grease may splash

catch fire during the cooking process. It will
go out by itself and will not damage the oven
in any way.

Practical Hints

Steam and sometimes smoke is released
during the cooking process. This will escape
at the front of the oven.
You can reduce the quantity of smoke by
keeping the oven walls clean. You will also
reduce it by:
- Adding a little water to the base of your dish
or the tray before starting to cook.
- Using (or
recommended cooking temperatures
- Preferably using earthenware dishes.
Cleaning
- Always disconnect your oven and leave it to
cool before cleaning it.
- Wipe down the oven body using a damp
soapy sponge while it is still warm It will clean
more easily. Wipe it dry thoroughly.
. The inside walls are lined with self-cleaning
enamel. To ensure a long, efficient life, as
soon as grease or smoke marks appear, we
recommend cleaning most of the grease
marks with a sponge dipped in soapy water.
Then turn the oven on for 30 minutes with the
thermostat at 270ºC.
. To clean the roof thoroughly (inside the
8
top of oven), swivel the locking device (V) 90º
from its original position.
- Pull down the upper heating element and
clean thoroughly with a sponge dipped in hot
soapy water.
