Fanned grilling
This function operates the fan whilst the top
element is on. It produces a more even, less
fierce heat than a conventional grill. For best results,
place the food to be grilled, on a grid over a roasting
tin, which should be smaller than a conventional grill
pan. This allows greater air circulation. Thick pieces
of meat or fish are ideal for grilling in this way, as the
circulated air reduces the fierceness of the heat from
the grill. The oven door should be kept closed whilst
grilling is in progress, so saving energy. You will also
find that the food needs to be watched and turned
less than for normal grilling. Pre-heat this function
before cooking.
Conventional oven
(top and base heat)
This function combines the heat from the top and
base elements. It is particularly suitable for roasting
and baking pastry, cakes and biscuits. Food cooked
on the top shelf will brown and crisp faster than on
the lower shelf, because the heat is greater at the top
of the oven than at the base, as in ‘Fan assisted oven’
function. Similar items being cooked will need to be
swapped around for even cooking. This means that
foods requiring different temperatures can be cooked
together, using the cooler zone in the lower half of
the oven and hotter area to the top.
Browning element
This function uses the element in the top of
the oven only. It is a useful function for the browning
or finishing of pasta dishes, vegetables in sauce,
shepherds pie and lasagne, the item to be browned
being already hot before switching to the top
element.
Base heat
This function uses the base element only. It
will crisp up your pizza or quiche base or finish off
cooking the base of a pastry case on a lower shelf.
It is also a gentle heat, good for slow cooking of
casseroles in the middle of the oven or for plate
warming.
The Browning and Base heat functions are useful
additions to your oven, giving you flexibility to finish
off items to perfection. With use, you will soon realise
how these functions can combine to extend your
cooking skills.
The Handygrill
The maximum weight than can be held by the
Handygrill is 5.5kg (12lb). It should only be used
with the supplied tin, which is designed to fit the
rack. Any other vessel could be unstable.
The Handygrill fits on the oven door. Food cooking on
it is easy to attend to, because it’s accessible when the
door is opened. It can be fitted at different heights.
Depending on the height that it is fixed, the oven
shelves may need to be removed or repositioned to
suit.
Using your Handygrill
Fan Grilling
Fanned grilling is carried out with the oven door
closed.
The racking on the inside of the Multifunction Oven
door (left hand oven) allows you to position the
Handygrill at any of four different levels.
Using the Handygrill for fan grilling gives you the
ability to tend the food without having to lift the grill
pan out of the oven.
It is important to remember to clean the grill pan
after each grilling session, as a build up of fat would
dangerous and unhygienic.
Be careful when opening and closing the oven door
whilst using the Handygrill.
Grilling Cooking Chart
The position of the Handygrill on the oven door
brackets will depend upon the size of the food being
grilled.
Pre-heat the oven on the fanned grilling function
with the oven door closed for 5-10 minutes before
use.
Always decide on the level at which to grill before
the preheating period as the Handygrill rack and pan
will get very hot.
