Hotpoint UQ89I manual SolarplusGrill, This will cause overheating

SolarplusGrill

CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be kept away.

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The solarplus grill 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 is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.

Notes

Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not

distorted - DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the GB grill pan grid when the grill pan runners are on the

top runner position.

There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right. You can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on.

Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on. Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch the left side on.

The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting:

MAXXIMUM is the hottest and MINIMUM the coolest.

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 or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an electric shock.

During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.

GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE TOP OVEN/GRILL DOOR CLOSED

- This will cause overheating.

The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the Off position, 'O'.

To operate the grill proceed as follows:

1.Open the grill/top oven door fully.

2.Position the rod shelf as recommended, in the chart (next page), for the food being cooked.

3.Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally under the element.

4.Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.
