Grilling -
- Most foods should be placed on the grid in the
grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air
and 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.
How to use the Full 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.
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.
The grill element is controlled by the thermostat.
During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.
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.
The cooling fan
During cooking the cooling fan will operate
continually.
It may run on after the oven is switched off to keep
the controls cool. This is quite normal.
The action of the cooling fan will depend
on how long the oven has been used and
at what temperature. It may not switch in at
all at lower temperature settings nor run
on where the oven has only been used
for a short time.
