THERMAL GRILLING IN THE TOP OVEN
USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling in the Top oven 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.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie, lasagne and au gratin's can be heated through and browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling compared with conventional grilling. One of the advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at the same time.
A general guide to cooking times is given on page 25 but these times may vary slightly depending on the thickness and quantity of food being cooked.
HOW TO THERMAL GRILL
Always thermal grill with the oven door closed and with the grill pan handle removed.
The grill pan must not be located in the shelf runners.
1.Push out the Fan Selector button.
2.Push out and turn the Top oven / Dual Grill control past the maximum oven setting to the required grill setting. The first three settings control the full
area at ¼ ( 
), ½ ( 
) and full power (

section of the grill only ( 
). This section operates at full power.
3.Locate the grill pan on shelf 3 or 5.
4.Remove the handle from the grill pan and close the oven door.
If you use the grill pan in position 3, the shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can be located or removed.
