Lighting the appliance

The grill
The grill is a high-speed grill. The instructions below tell you how to vary
the heat setting and how to change the height of the grid to suit the food
you are cooking. You should remember to turn the food regularly.
You should not use the grill to keep food warm as it will continue to
cook the food.
Prior to using the grill
We suggest that you operate the grill for approximately 5 - 10 mins to
burn off any residue from the surface. During this period a slight odour
may be emitted, it is therefore advisable to open a window for
ventilation.
When you first operate the grill you may hear some sounds as the
burner heats up, this is quite normal and is not a fault on the appliance.
Heat control
The grill control has two heat settings.
The control knob turns to the right from
'OFF' to 'LOW' and then to 'HIGH'. Use the high
setting for fast cooking such as toast. Use the
low setting to cook thicker food such as chicken
after you have browned it on the high setting.

The grill
For your safety
The grill pan and handle must be in place before igniting the grill.
You must keep the grill door open when the grill burner is lit.
Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is used. Young
children should be kept away.
Never cover the grill pan or grid with foil as this can lead to grill
fires.

Cooking positions
There is only one position for the grill
shelf (Position 2). Positions are counted
from the top downwards.
Most food should be cooked on the
grid in the grill pan. You can turn the grid
over to suit different thicknesses of food.
You can place some dishes straight
on to the grill shelf. This is useful when
you are browning the top of food such as
cauliflower cheese.
General
The shelf in the grill/second oven is different from the shelves in the
main oven. It is important that you do not swap them over. Only use the
shelf with the solid metal plate underneath it in the grill/second oven.
When you are not using the grill you should remove the handle and
store the pan on the shelf in the grill. Turn the grill burner off before you
store the pan. Remember that the pan will get hot when you are using
the main oven.
You can use the grill compartment to warm plates when you are
using the main oven.
Preheating
You don't usually need to preheat the grill. You may wish to preheat it for
a couple of minutes when you are cooking steak or browning food.
Putting food on the grid
Place food such as toast, tea-cakes and
muffins towards the centre of the grid.
Place food which needs a gentle heat,
such as tomatoes and mushrooms towards
the edge of the grid.
Arrange meat, meat products and fish to
suit their thickness and how you like them
cooked.

The grill

The grill pan and handle
The grill pan is supplied with a removable handle.
To attach the handle, place the wirework under the cut out in the pan so
that the metal plate hooks over the top of the grill pan.
Slide the handle to the left and over the central bump on the grill pan.
Ensure the handle is correctly located. It is not necessary to
remove the grill pan handle during grilling.
Place the grill pan on the shelf so that the pan is positioned centrally
beneath the grill.
To remove the handle, slide the handle to the right and lift the handle
away from the cut out on the grill pan.
Note
If you require an additional handle for your grill pan, this can be ordered
from your local Service Force Centre by quoting part number
311479800\6.

The hotplate
Heat control
The hotplate control knobs turn anticlockwise
from 'OFF' to 'HIGH' and then to 'LOW'. You
can adjust the heat by turning the control
between the highest and lowest settings.
These are shown as a large and a small flame
symbol.
Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit
different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for
food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday
cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food
such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9").
The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
Lift pans on and off the pan supports. Do not slide them across
the hob.
