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 fan assisted 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.
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.
SELECTING THERMAL GRILLING
· Turn the main oven function selector to Thermal
Grilling.
· Turn the main oven temperature control to the
required setting. (A temperature of between
140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal grilling).
THINGS TO NOTE
The main oven indicator neon will glow until the oven
has reached the desired temperature and then go
out. It will then turn ON and OFF periodically during
cooking showing that the oven temperature is being
maintained.
The oven fan and internal oven light will come on.
The cooling fan for the controls may operate after a
period of time. It may run on after the controls are
switched off until the appliance has cooled. See
page 13 for further details on the operation of the
cooling fan.
Always thermal grill with the oven door closed and
the grill pan handle removed.
