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 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.
As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce more smoke than leaner items.
