Food such as fish,liver and kidneys may be placed directly on the grillpan, if preferredAdjust the grid and grill pan runner position toallow for different thicknesses of food. Position thefood close to the element for faster cooking andfurther away for more gentle cookingFood should be thoroughly dried before grilling tominimise splashing. Brush lean meats and fishlightly with a little oil or melted butter to keep themmoist during cookingAccompaniments such as tomatoes and mushroomsmay be placed underneath the grid when grillingmeatsWhen toasting bread, we suggest that the top runnerposition is used with the grid in its 'high' positionPreheat the grill on a full setting for a few minutesbefore sealing steaks or toasting.

The need to check andturn food is reduced. Thermal grilling helps to minimisecooking smells in the kitchen and allows you to grill withthe oven door closed. With the exception of toast and raresteaks, you can thermal grill all the foods you wouldnormally cook under a conventional grill.The lower part of the oven can be used to cookaccompaniments at the same time, e.g. tomatoes andmushrooms with a mixed grill or breakfast.Dishes prepared in advance such as shepherd's pie,lasagne and au gratins can be heated through andbrowned on the top using the thermal grilling function.• Turn the multifunction selector to Thermal Grill .• Turn the main oven temperature control to therequired setting (a temperature of between 140°C and200°C is suitable for thermal grilling).NOTE:Thermal grilling helps to minimise cooking smells in thekitchen and is carried out with the main oven door closed,and with the grill pan handle removed.
