THERMAL GRILLING
USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate together, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill with the oven door closed.
With the exception of toast and rare steaks you can thermal grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill.
SELECTING THERMAL GRILLING
1) Turn the selector to Thermal Grill.
2)Turn the oven temperature control to the required setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal grilling). Use the grilling chart on page 29 as a guide.

The lower part of the oven can be used to cook accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven/grill indicator neon will glow until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then go out. It will cycle ON and OFF showing that the oven temperature is being maintained.
The cooling fan for the controls will operate immediately in conjunction with the thermal grilling function.
Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and is carried out with the main oven door closed and the grill pan handle removed.
