Using the grill
The grill pan consists of a wire trivet and enamel tray. Place food on the wire trivet.
A lower shelf position can be used to slow cooking down, or the temperature can be
reduced. A detachable grill pan handle is supplied for removing the hot tray.
Both the Fan Assisted Grill and Conventional Grill functions are designed to be used
with the oven door closed. This ensures efficient preheating and even cooking. Use
conventional grill at 150°C max setting and or fan forced grill at 175°C max setting.
When grilling, always pre-heat the grill element for 5 minutes before introducing
food. It is recommended that the grill pan is always removed from the oven when not
in use, as air flow around the oven can be impaired. The grill should be used with
the oven door closed. Use the Fan Assisted Grill function for thicker pieces of meat
and when cooking high water content foods to reduce condensation.
