GRILL POSITION

A) USING AN AUTOMATIC PROGRAM
9 automatic programs:  red meat, burger, sausage, pork, chicken, fish, seafood, sandwich, pepper

1. If the food you wish to cook is frozen, press the corresponding button. This function is only available when cooking with the automatic programs, not in manual mode.

2. Select the appropriate cooking program according to the type of food you wish to cook.
   Tip, especially for meat: The cooking results on the automatic programs may vary depending on origin, cut and quality of the food being cooked, the programs have been set and tested for good quality food.
   Similarly, the thickness of the meat must be taken into account during cooking; you should not cook foods with a thickness greater than 4 cm.
   If you are uncertain about which cooking program to use, please refer to the cooking guide page 12.

3. Press the “OK” button: the appliance starts preheating and the cooking level indicator flashes white.
   NB: If you have selected the wrong program, turn off the appliance and repeat the steps.

4. Wait for preheating to be complete.

5. When the level indicator stops flashing white and the grill beeps, the preheating is complete, the grill is ready to cook. Comments: At the end of preheating, if the appliance remains closed, the safety system will turn off the appliance after a while.

6. Open the grill and place the food on the cooking plate. Comments: If the appliance remains open for too long, the safety system will turn off the appliance automatically after a while.

7. Close the appliance to start the cooking cycle. The cooking level indicator turns  blue to indicate the cooking is in progress (for the best results, do not open or move your food during the cooking process). The appliance automatically adjusts the cooking cycle (time and temperature) according to the food thickness and quantity.
   Note for very thin pieces of food: Close the appliance, the button OK will flash and the indicator will stay steady white until you press OK. Press OK to ensure the appliance recognizes the food and that the cooking cycle starts.

8. According to the level of cooking, the indicator light changes color. While cooking is in progress, a beep alerts you each time a cooking level is reached. When the indicator light is yellow with a beep, food is rare, orange with a beep, food is medium and red with a beep, food is well done.
   N.B.: If you like your meat very rare, remove the meat when the cooking level indicator reaches steady blue. Please note, especially on meat, it is normal that cooking results vary depending on type, quality and origin of food.

9. When the color corresponding to your desired cooking level becomes steady and the beep sounds, open the appliance and remove your food.
   Note : If you want to cook food to different personal tastes, open the grill and remove the food when it has reached the desired level and then close the grill and continue cooking the other food. The program will continue its cooking cycle until it reaches the final level.

10. When finished cooking, remove food and close the appliance. The control panel will light up and set itself to ‘choice of program’ mode.
    Comment: The security system will turn off automatically after a while if no program selection is made
