Using the Top Oven for
Solarplus Grilling
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill.
Hotpoint have developed a 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 can be placed beneath them, but
for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used
directly from cold without any pre-heat.
However, when toasting, optimum performance is
achieved by pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.
NOTE: You will notice that the grill elements are
protected by a wire mesh. This stops you from
touching live parts.
Guide to Solarplus Grilling
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects
into the grill mesh as this could damage the
element wire, break the glass tubes or if the grill
is on, cause electric shock.
During use, the wire mesh may become soiled. DO
NOT attempt to clean it while the grill is still on. Turn
off at the control and allow to cool before cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not
distorted - do not store the grill pan handle on the
food grid when the shelf is in the highest position.
IMPORTANT:
Grilling should never be undertaken with the
grill/top oven door closed.
