The grill

The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.

You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to cook the food.

Heat control

The grill control gives two heat settings.

The control knob turns to the left from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. The high setting should be used for fast cooking such as toast. Use the low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken after it has been browned on the high setting.

Grill pan

The pan is designed so that you can pull it forward but it will stay supported. To remove the pan push it back as far as possible and lift it off. Replace it in reverse order.

For your safety

After replacing the pan, pull it out to make sure it has fitted back properly.

Caution

Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young children should be kept away. Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill fires

Cooking positions

Most food should be cooked on the grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid over to suit different thicknesses of food.

You can place some dishes straight on to the grill shelf. This is useful when you are browning the top of food such as cauliflower cheese
