Air that has been heated is blown by the fan onto the different levels. It is ideal for
180
cooking different types of food at the same time (e.g. meat and fish) without mixing
tastes and smell. It cooks very gently and is ideal for sponge cakes, pasties, etc.
Using the top heating element. Success is guaranteed for mixed grills, kebabs and
gratin dishes. The grill should be pre-heated to a high temperature for 5 minutes.
White meats should always beplaced at some distance from the grill element, the
L3
cooking time is slightly longer but the meat will be more succulent. Red meat and
fish fillets can be placed directly onto the shelf with the drip tray placed beneath on
lower shelf position.
The top heating element is used in conjunction with the fan which circulates the
hot air around the oven. Pre heating is recommended for red meats but is not
necessary for white meats. Grilling is ideal for cooking thicker food items such as
190
pork or poultry. Food to be grilled should be placed directly at the centre of the
middle shelf. By sliding the drip tray underneath the shelf it will ensure that any
juices are collected. For best results always make sure that the food is not too close
to the grill element and turn the food over half way through the cooking time.
