For grilling, you have a choice of 2 different operating modes.
For larger quantities of flat food for grilling, for top-baking in large tins. Choose power levels (L3 High, L2 Medium, L1 Low), as suitable for the food being grilled.
For smaller quantities of flat food for grilling, for top-baking in small tins. Choose 1 of 3 power levels (L3 High, L2 Medium, L1 Low), as suitable for the food being grilled.
Exposed parts of the oven can become hot during grilling. Keep children at a distance.
Close the door to set the Grill function. If the door is open, the grill function cannot be set and door appears in the display. If the door is opened during grilling, the grill heater turns off. Once the door is closed, the grill heater turns back on automatically.
Due to the intense heat associated with grilling, it is normal to experience smoke during the cooking process. This smoke is a natural by product of searing and should not cause you to worry. If you are experiencing more smoke than you are comfortable with, use the following tips to reduce the amount of smoke in your oven.
The wire grill should always be thoroughly cleaned and at room temperature at the beginning of cooking.
ALWAYS run your cooktop ventilation system or vent hood during grilling to help expel smoke from the room.
Keep the interior of your oven as clean as possible. Leftover debris from prior meals can burn or catch fire.
Avoid fatty marinades and sugary glazes. Both of these will increase the amount of smoke you experience. If you would like to use a glaze, apply it at the very end of cooking.
If you are experiencing significant smoke with any food item, consider:
Lowering the griller to the L1 setting.
Lowering the rack position to cook the food farther away from the grill heater.
Using the L3 grill setting to achieve the level of searing you desire, and then either switch to the L1 grill setting, or to the Top Bottom Heat mode.
As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce more smoke than leaner items.
