Bottom heating element
This function is particularly useful when blind-
baking pastry. It may also be used to finish off
quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked
through.
Grilling
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air
and to lift the food out of the fats and juices.
Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be
placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred.
- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling
to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and
fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to
keep them moist during cooking.
- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the
grid when grilling meats
- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used.
- The food should be turned over during
cooking, as required.

food close to the element for faster cooking and
further away for more gentle cooking.
Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before
sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and
the shelf as necessary, during cooking.
During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat
control light will operate in the same way as described
for the fan oven function.
How to use the Inner Grill Element

central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill
element for cooking small quantities, it can help to
save energy.

How to Use the Thermal Grill
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of
cooking food items normally associated with
conventional grilling. The grill element and the
oven fan operate alternately, circulating hot air
around the food. The need to check and turn the
food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise
cooking smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you
can thermally grill all the foods you would normally
cook under a conventional grill. Cooking is more
gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer
to cook with thermal grilling compared with
conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that
larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.
1. Switch the oven ON.
2. Select the Thermal Grill Oven Function by
pressing the Oven Function control button
until the symbol appears on the
display.
3. If necessary, press “ “ or “ “ buttons. to
