Tips for successful grilling
Grill
Preheat grill for 5 minutes before using. Leave the oven door open at
the first stop position so the grill element does not cycle on and off. For
Full Grill place food on the grill rack and sit in the deep tray. Slot into
the upper runners near the top of the oven (see Grilling Guide for most
appropriate shelf). Grill one shelf at a time.
When using Eco Grill place food on rack in deep tray in the middle where
the runners are further apart. When grilling the higher in the oven
food is placed the faster it will cook and brown. Food will cook and
brown faster set at HI or 250° and we recommend you grill at such
temperatures. Lower temperatures can be used for grilling if desired.
Warning: Accessible parts may become hot when the grill
is in use. Children should be kept away.
Fan Grill
The oven does not need to be preheated and grilling is carried out
with the door closed.
The upper elements cycle on and off and the hot air is circulated by
the oven fan. The thermostat maintains the desired temperature.
Place food on the grill rack in the deep tray.
Slot the tray into a shelf position near the middle or lower part of the
oven (see Grilling Guide for most appropriate shelf).
Fan Grill is suitable for foods that you would normally pan fry, barbeque
or rotisserie, and for larger cuts of meat.
