SOLARPLUS GRILL

Your cooker is not fitted with a conventional type of grill. The
solarplus grill is designed to reduce your grilling times. It is
quicker because it takes less time to warm up from cold.
Conventional grills require 5 minutes pre-heat before food
is placed beneath them, but for normal grilling the solarplus
grill can be used from cold without any pre-heat. However,
when toasting, optimum performance is achieved by pre-
heating the grill for about 1 minute.
You will notice that the grill elements are protected by a wire
mesh.
This stops you from touching live parts.
DO NOT under any circumstances insert objects into
the grill mesh as this could damage or break the
element tubes OR if the grill is on cause an electric
shock.
During use the mesh may become soiled. Do not attempt to
clean it while the grill is still on. Turn the cooker off at the
control unit and wait until it has cooled down before
cleaning.
Care must be taken to ensure the grill mesh is not distorted -
DO NOT store the grill pan handle on the grill pan grid when
the grill pan runners are on the top runner position.
There are two halves to the grill, one on the left and one on
the right. You can choose to have both sides on or just the left
side on.
Turning the control knob clockwise, will switch both sides on.
Turning it anti-clockwise, will only switch the left side on.
The numbers which are displayed indicate the heat setting:
MAXIMUM is the hottest and MINIMUM the coolest.
The grill will not operate unless the top oven control is in the
Off position, '0'.
To operate the grill proceed as follows:
1.
Open the grill/top oven door fully.
2.
Position the rod shelf as recommended, in the chart (next
page), for the food being cooked.
3.
Place the grill pan on the rod shelf, ensuring it is •
positioned centrally under the element.
4.
Never line the grill pan with aluminium foil as this may
cause overheating of fat in the grill pan.
