USING THE TOP OVEN FOR GRILLING Top Oven Shelf Positioning for Grilling The shelf can be inserted in two different ways for grilling. The grilling chart will indicate the correct orientation. Orientation A Orientation B Note There should always be at least 25mm (1 inch) between the top of the food and the grill element.
GRILL PAN & HANDLE The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan, to facilitate cleaning and storage. The grill pan handle can be fixed as follows: Step 1 Step 1 Remove screw & washers from the grill pan bracket (a). Step 2 Tilt the handle over the recess (b).
USING THE TOP OVEN FOR SOLARPLUS GRILLING Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional grill. We have developed a Solarplus high speed grill which is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold. Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the Solarplus grill can be used directly from cold without any pre-heat.
OPERATION WHEN USING THE TOP OVEN FOR GRILLING GRILL SETTING CONTROL TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE AND GRILL SELECTION CONTROL Step 1 Ensure oven timer is set to manual. Place the shelf in the correct position (see Grilling Guide). Place the food/grill pan on the shelf, positioned centrally under the grill element. Leave the top oven door fully open.
USING THE TOP OVEN AS A CONVECTION OVEN The top oven should be used to cook small quantities of food. The oven is designed so that the grill element operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.
OPERATION WHEN USING THE TOP OVEN AS A CONVECTION OVEN TOP OVEN TEMPERATURE & GRILL SELECTION CONTROL Step 1 Check that the timer is in manual. Step 2 Place the shelf in the correct position (see Oven Temperature Charts). Step 3 Select the required cooking temperature (100–220 (see Top Oven Temperature Charts).
USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR FAN COOKING Since a circulaire fan oven heats up more quickly and generally cooks food at a lower temperature than a conventional oven, pre-heating is often unnecessary. For guides on “pre-heating” , “cooking temperatures” and “cooking times” see “Oven Temperature Charts”...
USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS FAN ONLY SETTING Only DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.
USING THE MAIN OVEN FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS ‘S’ SLOW COOK SETTING This is used for slow cooking, keeping food warm and warming plates for short periods. Extra care should be taken when warming bone china, as it may be damaged in a hot oven.
