USES OF THERMAL GRILLING
Thermal grilling offers an alternative method of cooking
food items normally associated with conventional grilling.
The grill element and the oven fan operate together,
circulating hot air around the food. The need to
check and turn food is reduced. Thermal grilling
helps to minimise cooking smells in the kitchen and
allows you to grill with the oven door closed. With the
exception of toast and rare steaks, you can thermal
grill all the foods you would normally cook under a
conventional grill.
Turn the selector to Thermal Grill.
Turn the oven temperature control to the required
setting. (A temperature of between 140°C and
220°C is suitable for thermal grilling).
Always thermal grill with the door closed and with
the grill pan handle removed.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then
go OFF. It will then cycle ON and OFF showing
that the oven temperature is being maintained.
The lower part of the oven can be used to cook
accompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes
and mushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.
Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,
lasagne and au gratins can be heated through and
browned on the top using the thermal grilling function.
2. The indicator windows for selector and oven
temperature control will illuminate (BS 641).
3. The oven fan and internal light will come on.
4. The cooling fan for the controls will operate after
a short time. It may run on after the controls are
switched off until the appliance has cooled.
