MODE 5 Full roof area conventional
grilling mode
In this mode the inner roof element
heats up creating direct infra-red heat.
This mode allows you to grill with the door
closed. Grilling with the door open ajar may
lead to the control knob heating up slightly.
MODE 6 Hot air grilling system
This mode utilises the fan combined with the
infra-red grill to ensure hot air is circulated
evenly around the oven. This is the ideal
mode to use when multitasking, grilling chops
and sausages on the top level whilst baking
a potato bake on the lower level. The door
must be closed during this grilling mode.
There are two ways to grill food in an ILVE electric oven;
by using radiant heat to cook the food or by using thermal
grilling, a combination of radiant heat with thermal air flow.
The full roof area conventional grill system uses
automatically controlled direct infra-red heat radiated
from above for traditional grilling applications. ILVE ovens
combine the advantages of infra-red heat with fan forced
air assistance, allowing grilling and baking on two different
levels at the same time.
Both cooking techniques give exceptional results for a
wide range of meat cuts such as chicken breasts, beef
steaks, lamb and pork. It is also ideal for grilling fish and
fish fillets.
Traditional grill
1. Select the grill mode (Mode 5) on the
function control knob.
2. Turn the temperature control knob to
200º C.
The oven heating indicator light (orange
light) at the front control panel comes
on when the thermostat is activated
and turns off once it has reached the
selected temperature setting.
Fan grilling
1. Position racks at heights according
to food types and thickness (See hot
air grill cooking guide)
2. Select the fan grill mode (Mode 6) on
the function control knob.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to
175º C.
4. Allow oven to preheat for a minimum
of four minutes depending on food
types.
When fan grilling on multiple shelves
the oven door must be closed. The
grill element at the top of the oven
produces intense heat to sear the
surface of the food while the fan moves
this heat around the oven. Fan grilling
eliminates the need to turn food over
during the grilling process; however,
turning is optional depending on the
degree of browning desired. When using
this function make sure that food is
elevated to allow the hot air to circulate
around the food. Food can be placed on
the grill rack that sits inside the baking
tray alternatively; food can be placed on
a grill rack positioned over an oven pan
to make sure any drips are caught.
ILVE TIP
• When conventional grilling
the oven door should always
be closed
• The best settings for conventional
grilling is between 175 – 190º C.
• For best results, we recommend
grilling on level 4.
