THINGS TO NOTE

The oven light will illuminate.

The heat indicator neons will flash until the oven has reached the desired temperature and then stop, an audible signal will sound. When the oven has been switched off the bars that are still lit indicate the remaining residual heat in the oven.

This function has automatic boost and will reach the required temperature in a shorter time. It will override the oven function until the required temperature is reached.

The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a time.

If an automatic programme has been set, the oven fan and light do not come on until cooking begins.

Some internal noise may be heard during operation. This is quite normal.

The oven fan will turn on and off during use.

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.

Most food should be placed on the grill pan grid in the 'high' position in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air around the food.

Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed below the grid when grilling meats, or in a separate dish on a lower shelf.

Foods will cook more quickly the closer they are to the grill element and the higher the temperatures selected. Be prepared to adjust temperatures and shelf positions during cooking if necessary.

Turn food over during cooking as necessary.

Ensure that ready prepared or cooked chilled dishes e.g. shepherds pie, moussaka, lasagne, etc., are piping hot throughout before serving.

A temperature range of 140°C - 220° is suitable for most foods. Be prepared to make suitable adjustments during cooking to suit individual requirements. If Thermal Grilling on more than one level, it may be necessary to interchange the food on the shelves during cooking.
