USAGE

USING THE GRILL

WARNING

 

GRILL SAfETy WARNINGS

•   ALWAYS turn off the grill immediately after you have finished cooking. Fat left in the grill can catch fire.
•   ALWAYS leave the grill door fully open when grilling in a separate grill model.
•   ALWAYS close the oven door when grilling in a grill in oven model.
•   ALWAYS make sure that grill trays are fitted into the grill according to instructions.
•  DO NOT line the grill rack with foil.
•  DO NOT leave the grill unattended.
•   DO NOT touch the hot surfaces or elements inside the grill and keep children away until grill has cooled.
•   DO NOT place thick pieces of food under the grill. Food may catch fire.
•  DO NOT store flammable materials near the grill.

SEPARATE GRILL MOdELS

•   The “grill” works by directing heat onto the food. (see diagram opposite)
•   The grill function is suitable for tender cuts of meat, steak, chops, 

sausages, fish, cheese toasties and other quick cooking foods.

•   Best results are obtained after 3 minutes preheat. This will help seal 

in the natural juices of steak, chops etc. for a better flavour.

•  The grill door MUST be left open during grilling.
•  Condensation in grill compartment is normal.

IGNITING THE GAS GRILLER

NOTE: Before you cook on the grill for the first time, turn the grill on for fifteen minutes with 10 mm of water in the bottom 

of the grill dish. This will remove oils left on the grill during manufacture.

1.  Turn the grill burner control knob to HI.
2.   For manual ignition models 

Press the manual igniter button on the left hand side of the control panel. 

For electronic ignition models

3.  Press the electronic igniter switch on the right hand side of the panel.

NOTE: If the grill does not light after 8 seconds, follow these steps:
1.   Turn the grill burner control knob back to the start position and let go.
2.   Wait 15 seconds for the gas to clear and repeat the steps to light the grill.
