minutes.

for oven mode.

front stop.

ELECTRIC GRILLING ELEMENT
On gas oven cookers the grill is operated by a separate
button. On electric oven models the grill control is on the
oven function selector knob.
The oven door must be closed during grill operation. Once
the oven has been switched off, always wait a few minutes
before switching on the grill.
The grill element is an infrared type, which provides an
even controlled heat. When grill is on an indicator light will
come on.

some water will avoid smoke build-up coming from burnt
fat and at the same time assist in keep the food moist.

grill cannot be operated at the same time.
