Using the Top Oven for Grilling

CAUTION - ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BECOME HOT WHEN THE GRILL IS IN USE. CHILDREN SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY. GRILLING SHOULD NEVER BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN DOOR CLOSED.

The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of either the twin grill elements on together or the single left hand grill element only, depending upon which direction the control knob is rotated. With the control rotated clockwise the numbers will show 1 through to 6 the twin elements will come on together. With the control turned anti-clockwise the numbers will show 1 through to 6 and the single left hand element will come on only.

The control is Off at O.

Note: The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the OFF position.

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. Open the Grill door to the grilling position. i.e. fully.

With the grill door in the grilling position, heating the grill is achieved by turning the control clockwise to the desired ‘grill setting’ on the control panel, as described under ‘setting the grill’. Never: line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

Note: When the door is open, air will be blown from beneath the controls by the cooling fan, and when controls are in the Off position. Preheat the grill at setting 6 for approximately 5 minutes. The grill pan is placed on the shelf and should be correctly positioned under the grill element. Leave the control at 6 for toast, 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.
