)How 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.Turn the oven control function knob on .

2.Turn the thermostat control knob on the required temperature. Select a maximum temperature of 200°C

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

Hints and Tips

Prepare foods in the same way as for conventional grilling. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or butter to keep them moist during cooking.
