Grilling in the Top Oven

Keep young children away from the appliance when the grill is in use as the surfaces get extremely hot.

Grilling should NOT be undertaken with the Grill/Top Oven door closed. (See below)

Never: Line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

The grill control provides variable heat control of the grill element and will only operate once the oven control has been set to a grill position (fully clockwise).

The grill regulator is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left-hand grill element only, depending on which mode you select:

To select twin grill, first turn the Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Full Grill.

The heat can now be adjusted by setting the grill regulator.

To select single grill turn the Top Oven/Grill Selector clockwise to Half Grill.

Food which requires browning only should be placed under the hot grill directly on the shelf in the first or second runner from the bottom of the oven, according to the depth of the dish.

Care should be taken when removing the grill pan during or directly after use.

After use, always return both controls anticlockwise to the OFF position.

NOTE: The grill pan must be cleaned after every use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan could cause a fire hazard.

The heat can now be adjusted by setting the grill regulator.

Please note that the Grill will not operate unless the Top Oven/Grill Selector is in a grill position.

After use, turn both controls ANTI-CLOCKWISE to their off positions.

Grill Procedure

Ensure oven timer is set to Manual. Pre-heat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 1 minute.

When toasting/grilling, the rod shelf is placed in either the first or second runner position from base. The grill pan is placed on the shelf and pushed back as far as possible to correctly position it under the grill element. Leave the control at 6 for toast, and for sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods requiring longer cooking, turn the switch to a lower setting after the initial sealing on both sides at 6.

The thicker the food, the lower the control should be set.
