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. Position the food close to the element for faster cooking and further away for more gentle cooking. l 4 3 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 15-25 8-12 20-30 8-12 10-20 20-30 6-12 12-16 14-20 3-4 l l Food should be thoroughly dried before grilling to minimise splashing.

The fan draws air from the oven, the element heats the air which is circulated into the oven via the vents in the back panel. The advantages of fanned oven cooking are: PREHEATING The fan oven quickly reaches its temperature, so it is not usually necessary to preheat the oven. However, lower temperatures and longer cooking times are recommended for less tender cuts or larger joints. Wrap joints in foil if preferred, for extra browning uncover for the last 30 - 60 min. cooking time. 26 THERMAL GRILLING 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 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 1) Turn the selector to Thermal Grill. 2) Turn the oven temperature control to the required setting.
