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 ( ).
Set to full power at first then turn down as
necessary. The fourth setting is for the centre
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shelf must be withdrawn before the pan can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.
Ensure the grill pan is properly located.
