Grilling
A switch operated by the door changes the heating element configuration between grill and oven
operation. When the door is open, the top inner element is activated for intense downward heat; when
the door is closed, the top outer and lower elements are activated to provide even oven heating.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:
l
Open the grill door.
l
Pre-heat the grill on setting MAX for approximately 5 minutes (see chart on guide to grilling).
Grill Pan Handle
l
Fix the grill pan handle securely in position. See below.
l
Food which only requires browning should be placed directly on/in the grill pan in the grill pan
runner, or on the floor of the grill compartment. (the grill pan grid may be removed.)
l
Leave the control on setting 6 for toast, sealing and fast cooking of foods. For thicker foods
requiring longer cooking turn the control to a lower setting after the initial sealing, on both sides,
on setting 6. The thicker the food the lower the control should be set.
Warning: Take care as the grill will be hot – always wear oven gloves. Always ensure
that the grill pan is clean BEFORE use. Excess fat build up in the bottom of the pan
could cause a fire hazard. Never line grill pan with foil.
Fixing the Grill Pan
Handle
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the grill pan
handle securely in position before use.
The handle fits onto the grill pan edge with the small recess, Fig.1.
Tilt the handle over the recess and slide it towards the centre, Fig.2.
Ensure the handle is fully located. Insert the washer and fixing screw and tighten fully to ensure
handle is secured, Fig.3.
Always hold the dripping pan handle in the highlighted zone marked "OK" in figure 4.
