Accompaniments such as tomatoes and
mushrooms may be placed underneath the grid
when grilling meats.
When toasting bread, we suggest that the top
runner position is used with the grid in its 'high'
position.
Preheat the grill for a few minutes before sealing
steaks or toasting. Adjust the shelf position as
necessary, during cooking.
The food should be turned over during cooking,
as required.
NOTE: For safety in use, the grill element is
controlled by the thermostat. During cooking,
the grill cycles on and off to prevent
overheating.
Cooking time depends on the thickness of the
meat and not on its weight.
