Grilling procedure
Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The 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 is placed beneath them, but
for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used from cold without any
pre-heat. However, when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by
pre-heating the grill for about 1 minute.
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire mesh. This
stops you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into the grill mesh as
this could damage or break the element tubes OR if the grill is on
cause an electric shock.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to clean it while
the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the control unit and wait until it
has cooled down before cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted - DO NOT
store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when the rod shelf is in the
top runner position.
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on the right. You
can choose to have both sides on or just the left side on. Turning the
control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on. Turning it anti-
clockwise, will only switch the left side on. The numbers which are
displayed indicate the heat setting. Number 4 is the hottest and number
1 the coolest.
GRILLING SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN WITH THE GRILL/TOP OVEN
DOOR CLOSED - This will cause overheating.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the ‘0’ Off
position.
1. Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2. Position rod shelf as recommended in the chart (next page) for food
being cooked.
3. Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is positioned centrally
under the element.
4. Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may cause
overheating of fat in the grill pan.
