For grilling, you have a choice of 2 different operating modes. Preheat for 5 minutes when grilling.
For larger quantities of flat food for grilling, for top-baking in large tins. Choose power levels (High,Medium, 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 (1 low, 2 medium and 3 high), 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 a pop-up appears in the display. If the door remains open for longer than 5 seconds, 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 byproduct 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.
Always use a griller pan. Do not use saute pans or regular baking sheets for safety reasons.
The griller pan 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.
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 LO setting.
Lowering the rack position to cook the food farther away from the griller.
Using the HI grill setting to achieve the level of searing you desire, and then either switching to the LO grill setting, or switching to the Bake function.
As a rule, fattier cuts of meat and fish will produce more smoke than leaner items.
