THE GRILL PAN AND HANDLE

The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, press the button on the handle
with the thumb and insert the lip into the widest part
of the bracket. Slide the handle towards the left and
release the button.
Ensure the handle is correctly located.
To remove the handle, press the button on the
handle with the thumb and slide the handle towards
the right. Release the button.
Always remove the grill pan handle during
grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is
positioned centrally beneath the grill. Ensure that the
cut out on the underside of the handle bracket
locates between the bars of the shelf.

HINTS AND TIPS

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.
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, use the shelf in position 5
with the grid in the ‘high’ position.
When using the centre section grill, ensure food
is placed centrally on the grilling grid directly
beneath the grill element.
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.
