ΦHow to Use the Thermal

Grill

Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking food items normally associated with conventional grilling. The grill element and the oven fan operate alternately, circulating hot air around the food. The need to check and turn the food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimize cooking smells in the kitchen.

With the exception of toast and rare steaks, you can thermally grill all the foods you would normally cook under a conventional grill. Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook with thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.

1.Switch the oven ON.

2.Press the Cooking Function Control Button until the pilot light to the left of comes on.

3.If necessary, press the "Increase" or the "Decrease" buttons to adjust the temperature setting.

4.Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food and follow the instructions for grilling.
