OVEN FUNCTIONS
0 Off Oven light - The oven door must be closed during the cooking cycle. - Pre-heat the grill for about 5 minutes. - Arrange the meat on the grid with the drip tray underneath. Pour water in the drip tray to cover the bottom to reduce smoke and fat spatters. - Turn over the meat about half-way through cooking time.

STATIC FUNCTION
Use when all the food is on the same runner level. - Pre-heat the oven to the required cooking temperature and place the food inside as soon as the red thermostat indicator light switches off. - Ideally, the shelf should be on the second runner level when using the static function.

To operate the plates, turn the knob to the desired temperature setting (please refer to the cooktop instructions).
