THERMAL GRILLING IN THE MAIN OVEN
Thermal grilling in the main oven offers an alternative
method of cooking food items normally associated
with conventional grilling.
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.
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.
COOKING TIMES
Cooking is more gentle, therefore food generally
takes a little longer to cook when thermal grilling
compared with conventional grilling. One of the
advantages is that larger quantities can be cooked at
the same time.
USING THERMAL GRILL
Always thermal grill with the oven door
closed and with the grill pan handle
removed.
• Push out and turn the main oven multifunction
selector to Thermal Grill.
• Push out and turn the main oven temperature
control to the required setting. (A temperature of
between 140°C and 220°C is suitable for thermal
grilling).
• Remove the handle from the grill pan and close
the oven door.
THINGS TO NOTE
• The oven light will illuminate.
• The indicator neon will glow. It may turn ON and
OFF during use to show that the setting is being
maintained.
• The cooling fan for the controls may operate after
a time.
• The oven fan will operate.
