22-23-24

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 ‘well done’ level.

25 Keep warm function

When the cooking process has ended the appliance will automatically go on the keep warm setting and the cooking level indicator will automatically go red and an audible tone will sound every 20 seconds. If food is left on the grill it will continue to cook, while the cooking plates are cooling. You can stop the audible tone by pressing the "OK" button.

Comment: the safety system will turn the appliance off automatically after a certain amount of time.

Second cooking

If you want to cook more food, please refer to section 21.
