Solarplus Grill
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use - children should be
kept away.
Note:
Grilling procedure
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The
Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling
times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold.
Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed
beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used
from cold without any pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum
performance is achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh.
This stops you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh
as this could damage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is
on cause an electric shock.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it
while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and
wait until it has cooled down before cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO
NOT store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod
shelf is in the top runner position.
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the
right. You can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on.
Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on.
Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch the left side on. The
numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting. Number 4 is
the hottest and number 1 the coolest.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP
OVEN DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the ‘0’ Off
position.
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for
food being cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned
centrally under the element.
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause
overheating of fat in the grill pan.
