DO NOT cover the grill pan or grid with aluminium foil as this can hold fat, intensify the heat and create a fire hazard.
Grilling can be started from cold but for best results preheat for approximately two minutes. Most
cooking is done with the heat on full, but it may be desirable to reduce it for thicker pieces of meat, fish,
chicken portions or for keeping food warm.
For au gratin dishes eg. Macaroni Cheese and meringue toppings eg. Baked Alaska, place the dish on
the floor of the grill compartment. The base of the grill pan can be used for warming fruit garnishes on
the reduced setting.
NOTE: Strong detergents used in dishwashers may damage the grill pan grid finish; clean in soapy
water as described in CARE AND CLEANING section.
Relighting
the burner In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner control and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least one minute.
