Using the Top Oven for Solarplus Grilling

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. Hotpoint have developed a Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food can be placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.

However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.

NOTE: You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This stops you from touching live parts.

DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as this could damage the element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill is on, cause electric shock.

During use, the wire mesh may become soiled. DO NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning. Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - do not store the grill pan handle on the food grid when the shelf is in the highest position.

IMPORTANT:

Grilling should never be undertaken with the grill/top oven door closed.
