Thermal grill
Thermal grill offers an alternative method
of cooking food items normally associated
with conventional grilling. The grill element
and the oven fan operate simultaneously,
circulating hot air around the food. The need
to check and turn the food is reduced.
Thermal grill helps to minimise cooking
smells in the kitchen.
With the exception of toast and rare
steaks, you can thermally grill all the foods
you would normally cook under a conven-
tional grill. Cooking is more gentle; therefore
food generally takes a little longer to cook
with thermal grilling compared with conven-
tional grilling. One of the advantages is that
larger quantities can be cooked at the same
time.
1. Switch the oven on.
2. Select the function thermal grill; to do
this, press the cooking functions button
, until the symbol appears in
the display.
3. If necessary, press the buttons “
” or
“ ”, to adjust the temperature setting.
Highest temperature: 200 °C.
4. Select the grid and grill pan runner posi-
tion to allow for different thicknesses of
food. Then follow the instructions for
grilling.
Defrosting
The oven fan operates without heat and
circulates the air, at room temperature, in-
side the oven. This increases the speed of
defrosting. However, please note that the
temperature of the kitchen will influence the
speed of defrosting. This function is particu-
larly suitable for defrosting delicate food
which could be damaged by heat, e.g. cream
filled gateaux, iced cakes, pastries, bread
and other yeast products.
