Grill - The grill cannot be used at the same time as the oven. The oven door must be closed when grilling.

Thermostat Control Knob By turning the oven control knob clockwise, you select the cooking temperature. Most foods should be placed on the grid in the grill pan to allow maximum circulation of air to lift the food out of the fats and juices. Food such as fish, liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grill pan, if preferred. Adjust the grid and grill pan runner position to allow for different thicknesses of food. Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fish lightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep them moist during cooking. Accompaniments such as tomatoes and mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid when grilling meats. When toasting bread, we suggest that the top runner position is used with`the 'rid in its 'high' position. Preheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutes before sealing steaks or toasting. Adjust the heat setting and the shelf as necessary, during cooking. The food should be turned over during cooking, as required. NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is controlled by the thermostat. During cooking, the grill cycles on and off to prevent overheating. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the meat and not on its weight. Bottom oven element only This function is particularly useful when blindbaking pastry or cooking pizza. It may also be used to finish off quiches or flans to ensure the base pastry is cooked through.
