GRILLING
Important
All grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed and the grill pan handle removed from the
pan.
Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill
pan to allow maximum circulation of air 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
Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food. Position the food
close to the element for faster cooking and further
away for more gentle cooking
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 with the grid in its 'high' position
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
The food should be turned over during cooking, as
required.
NOTE:
For safety in use, the grill element is controlled
by the thermostat. During cooking, the grill
cycles on and off to prevent overheating.
COOKING GUIDE
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat
and not on its weight.
GRILLING - INNER GRILL ELEMENT
Important
All grilling must be carried out with the oven door
closed and the grill pan handle removed from the
pan.
The inner grill provides, quick direct heat to the
central area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill
for cooking small quantities it can help to save
energy.
Always grill with the door closed and remove the grill
pan handle.
Place the food in the centre of of the grid in the grill
pan.
Adjust the gril and grill pan runner position to allow
for different thicknesses of food and follow the
instructions for grilling.
THERMAL GRILLING
Use of thermal grilling
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 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.
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes
and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and
browned on the top using the thermal grilling
function.
• Turn the multifunction selector to Thermal Grill
.
• Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting (A temperature of between 140
°
C
and 200
°
C is suitable for thermal grilling).
NOTE:
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in
the kitchen and is carried out with the main oven
door closed, and with the grill pan handle removed.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven has
reached the desired temperature and then go OFF. It
will then cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven
temperature is being maintained.
