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.

Setting the Grill

The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control, either turning the control clockwise for the twin grill elements on together (FULL GRILL) or turning the control anti-clockwise for the single left hand grill element only (HALF GRILL).

You can select a power level of 1 through to 4 in both directions. 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 grill control to the desired ‘grill setting’ - either clockwise for the twin grill elements (FULL GRILL) or anti-clockwise for the single left hand grill element (HALF GRILL), 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 4 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 4 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 4. The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.
