Grilling
Oven accessories to use
Place food on Wire Shelf.
The Wire Shelf will allow fat and juices to drip
through into the Enamel Shelf to reduce
excess splatter and smoke when grilling.
Most foods require turning halfway during
cooking. When turning food, open oven door
and CAREFULLY remove the shelf by holding
the accessories firmly. Use oven gloves when removing accessories
as they will be very hot, and so will the roof
and walls of the oven.
After turning, return food to the oven, close
door and press START. The oven will continue
to count down the remaining cooking time. It is
quite safe to open the oven door at any time to
check the progress of the food as it is grilling.
If grilling fish, chops or small items, place the
enamel shelf in the upper position.
When grilling foods the Wire Shelf should be in the top shelf position and the enamel
shelf should be in the bottom shelf position or you can use the enamel shelf in the top
shelf position.
When positioning the wire shelf, the vertical wires of the shelf should sit higher than
the sides of the shelf.

1.On the Enamel shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.
2. On the Wire rack shelf in the lower or upper shelf position.
