GUIDE TO BETTER GRILLING WARNING CAUTION Using the Grill Separate Grill Grill In Oven No definite times can be given for grilling because this depends on your own taste and the size of the food. These times should only be used as a guide and remember to turn the food over halfway through the cooking process. Grill with door open. Steak 15 – 20 minutes rill dish must be located on slides.

This allows: • Select the correct shelf location for food being cooked. • Baking on all shelves at the same time with little variation in browning or cooking. • Cooking at slightly lower temperatures. • Cooking from a cold start so there is no need to preheat the oven – this is good for casseroles and fruit cakes.
OVEN GUIDE The following is intended as a guide. Cooking variation is natural and to be expected. You should experiment with times, temperatures and recipes to obtain the best results to your own taste. Get to know your oven before making a service call. Where the gas models vary from the electric models, details for gas cooking is shown in brackets. For best results when baking, preheat your oven for 30 minutes.
