How to Use the Inner Grill
Element

The inner grill provides quick direct heat to the central

area of the grill pan. By using the inner grill element for

cooking small quantities, it can help to save energy.

1. Turn the oven control function knob on

.

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required

temperature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow

for different thicknesses of food and follow the

instructions for grilling.

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 loads 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.

Grilling

Grilling must be carried out with the oven

door closed. The grill pan handles must be

removed from the pan.

How to Use the Grill

1. Turn the oven control function knob on

.

2. Turn the thermostat control knob on the required

temperature.

3. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow

for different thicknesses of food. Position the food

close to the element for faster cooking and further

away for more gentle cooking.

Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before

sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and

the shelf as necessary, during cooking.

During cooking, the cooling fan and the thermostat

control light will operate in the same way as described

for the fan oven function.

Hints and Tips

- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill

pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food

out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and

kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if

preferred

- Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to

minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly

with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist

during cooking

- Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms

may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats

- When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner

position is used.

- The food should be turned over during cooking, as

required.

The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.

During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to

prevent overheating.
