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.
