instance when a meal is being cooked on the hob) place the plates

 

and serving dishes on the rod shelf using the bottom runner, and turn

 

the top oven control to approximately 100°C (200°F). A maximum

Grilling

Children should be kept away.

 

 

GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN

 

DOOR CLOSED.

 

Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil.

 

The grill control is designed to provide variable heat control of the grill

 

element. Please note that the grill will not operate unless the top oven

 

control is in the OFF position.

 

Open the top oven/grill door, preheat the grill at 6 setting for

 

approximately 5 minutes. When toasting the rod shelf is placed in the top

 

runner. Position the pan centrally below the grill element.

 

Leave the control at 6 for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For

 

thicker cuts requiring longer cooking, turn the control to a lower setting

 

after the initial sealing on both sides at 6. The thicker the food the lower

 

the control should be set.

 

See chart on guide to grilling.

 

Remember to switch off the grill control at the end of cooking.

Grill Pan Handle

The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to facilitate cleaning

 

and storage. The handle can be either detachable from or fixed to

 

the pan. For a fixed handle remove the screw and washers from the

 

grill pan bracket, tilt the handle over the recess adjacent to the

 

bracket, slide it towards the centre of the pan and let the handle

 

locate over the bracket. Replace screw and washers and ensure that

 

they are fully tightened up. For a detachable handle remove screw

 

and washers from the grill pan and retain for future use.

 

Please note, if a fixed handle is required, grill pan is unable to be

 

kept in the Main Oven with door closed. It may be stored in the

 

Top Oven with door closed.
