Using the Grill
Using the grill
The temperature of each grill setting is
fixed. Grilling can be adjusted by
selecting a higher or lower shelf
position, or by adjusting the grid
position, as detailed below;
l
The grill grid inside the grill pan
can be inverted to give a high or
low position, or it may be removed
altogether for items such as fish,
which can be grilled on the grill
pan base.
Alternatively, foods can be grilled
l
in a suitably heatproof dish.
For toasting, use the highest grid
l
position.
Using aluminium foil to cover the grill
pan, or putting items wrapped in foil
under the grill creates a fire hazard,
and the high reflectivity can damage
the grill element.
The lower grid position is useful for
l
grilling all types of meat or fish.
With grid removed the food can
l
be placed directly on the base of
the grill pan - eg; when cooking
whole fish, or browning dishes
such as cauliflower cheese.
Push the grill pan to the back of the
shelf, to position it under the centre of
the grill.
Never allow fat to build up in the grill
pan, as this creates a fire hazard.
For best results, preheat the grill for
3 - 5 minutes before use.
When you have finished grilling,
check that the control knob is
returned to the “off” position.

Notes:
C a u t i o n : The top element gets
extremely hot when in use, so take
extra care to avoid touching it.
Important: Never put items directly
on the base of the oven or cover the
oven base with foil, as this may cause
the element to overheat. Always
position items on the shelf.
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven. When opening the oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any p o ssible contact with potentially hot air,
since this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.

If more than one cooking dish or
baking tray is to be used on a shelf
leave a gap of at least 25mm
between the items themselves and
the oven interior.
Allow enough space between

temperature.
To switch off, return the control to the
“l” off position.
Preheating
The oven must be preheated when
cooking frozen and chilled food, and
we recommend preheating for yeast
mixtures, batters, soufflés and whisked
sponges, otherwise preheating is not
necessary, as a fan oven warms up
quickly.
Preheat the oven until the indicator
neon switches off for the first time; this
will take between 5 - 15 minutes,
depending on the temperature selected.
Notes:
As part of the cooking process, hot air
is expelled through a vent at the top of
the oven. When opening the oven door,
care should be taken to avoid any p o ssible contact with potentially hot air,
since this may cause discomfort to people
with sensitive skin. We recommend
that you hold the underneath of the
oven door handle.

Using the Main Oven
Cooking with a fan oven
If you are used to cooking with a
conventional oven, you will find a
number of difference to cooking with a
fan oven, which will require a different
approach:
There are no zones of heat in a
fan oven, the convection fan at the
back of the oven ensures an even
temperature throughout the oven; this
makes it ideal for batch baking - eg;
when planning a party or stocking the
freezer, as all item will be cooked
within the same length of time.
Cooking times will generally be shorter
- by between 5 - 10 minutes per hour -
Defrosting and cooling
To defrost frozen foods, turn the
oven control to the defrost position,
place the food in the centre of the oven
and close the door.
To cool foods after cooking, prior to
refrigerating or freezing, turn the oven
control to the defrost position, and
open the door.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method. Do not defrost larger joints of
meat and poultry over 2kg / 4lb using
this method.
N e v e r place uncooked food for
than those times given in recipe books
for conventional cooking.
We recommend preheating the oven
for frozen of chilled food, and also for
soufflés, batter mixtures and yeast
mixtures. Preheat the oven until the
indicator light switches off for the first
time, this will take between 5 to 15
minutes depending on the temperature
selected.
There is no flavour transference in a
fan oven, which means you can cook
strong smelling foods such as fish, at
the same time as mild foods - eg; milk
puddings.
Foods are cooked at a lower
temperature (between 10˚C and
20˚C lower) than a conventional oven,
so conventional recipe temperatures
may have to be reduced.
defrosting next to cooked food which
is to be cooled, as this can lead to
cross contamination.
Defrosting meat, poultry and fish can
be accelerated using this method, but
make sure they are completely thawed
before cooking thoroughly.
Place meat and poultry on a grid in a
meat tin.
Defrosting times
Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or
meat - eg; fish fillets, prawns and mince,
will take approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
