The Grill heating element at the top of the oven cavity
has one power setting only.  It is efficient and
economical.
The efficiency of the grill is assisted by the turntable
which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning.
The grill is ideal for cooking bacon, gammon steak, fish
fingers and tea cakes.
Use the rack for grilling small items of food such as
bacon, steak and toast, turn over halfway through
grilling.  Food can be placed directly on the rack or
placed in a flan dish or on a heat-resistant plate.When browning and crisping the surface of foods in a
casserole dish, the rack can be used if the container is
shallow enough.  However, it is advisable to place such
containers directly on the turntable, allow a little extra
time to brown and crisp as desired.
NOTE:
When first using the grill heater, smoke and odour
will be given off.  To avoid this happening when
food is being cooked, heat the grill heater without
food for approx. 20 minutes.
