USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling in the Top oven offers an
alternative method of cooking food items
normally associated with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate
together, circulating hot air around the food.
The need to check and turn food is reduced.
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking
smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with
the oven door closed. With the exception of
toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all
the foods you would normally cook under a
conventional grill.
Dishes prepared in advance such as
shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratin's can be
heated through and browned on the top using
the thermal grilling function.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food
generally takes a little longer to cook when
thermal grilling compared with conventional
grilling. One of the advantages is that larger
quantities can be cooked at the same time.
A general guide to cooking times is given on
page 26 but these times may vary slightly
depending on the thickness and quantity of
food being cooked.
HOW TO THERMAL GRILL
1. Press out the Fan Selector button.
2. Push out and turn the Top oven / Dual Grill
control past the maximum oven setting to the
required grill setting. The first three settings
control the full area at ¼( ), ½ ( ) and full
power ( ). Set to full power at first then
turn down as necessary. The fourth setting is
for the centre section of the grill only ( ).
This section operates at full power.
3. Locate the grill pan on shelf 3 or 5.
4. Remove the handle from the grill pan and
close the oven door.
THERMAL GRILLING IN THE TOP OVEN
Always thermal grill with the oven
door closed and with the grill pan
handle removed.
If you use the grill pan in position 3,
the shelf must be withdrawn before
the pan can be located or removed.
Ensure the grill pan is properly
located.
