The Grill heating element at the top of the oven cavity has
one power setting only.  It is efficient and economical.
The efficiency of the grill is assisted by the turntable
which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning.
The grill is ideal for cooking bacon, gammon steak,
fish fingers and tea cakes.
Use the high rack for grilling small items of food such
as bacon and sausages, turn over halfway through
grilling.  Food can be placed directly on the rack or
placed in a flan dish or on a heat-resistant plate.

When browning and crisping the surface of foods in a
casserole dish, the high rack can be used if the container
is shallow enough.  However, it is advisable to place
such containers directly on the turntable or low rack,
allow a little extra time to brown and crisp as desired. It is
not possible to use the square shelf for grilling.
NOTE:
When first using the grill heater, smoke and odour
will be given off.  To avoid this happening when
food is being cooked, heat the grill heater without
food for approx. 20 minutes.

1. Enter the grilling time by

pressing the 1 MIN key
8 times.

2. Press the GRILL

key to select the
grill mode.

3. Press the START/

AUTO MINUTE
key once to start
grilling.

The display counts
