help me with my new electric grill

[mandimoo]

Ive just bought a new electric oven, complete with electric grill. Ive never owned electric.

To use the grill, I have to turn the function selector to grill, then turn the temperature selector on to put heat through the grill.

Thing is, I have no idea what temperature to set the grill to. It can be anything from 0 - 275 C.

Ive defrosted some cooked mackerel, and need to re-heat under the grill. What temp should I set the selector to?

Doesn't your new grill come with an instruction manual, mandi?

[mandimoo]

yes, it does, but i cannot find ANY instructions for grilling, only baking!

[boxtops]

have you tried googling the make of your grill, and "grilling"?

[4getmenot]

and check whether you need door open or closed. Most you leave open, so on new one i did and melted all my knobs. Wish id read manual first.

Even 275 seems low for grilling , a grill is 'red hot' around 600 deg you vary the heat to the food by putting it closer to or futher from the grill element.

Thank you, Boxtops, I did just that and Ive found the grilling instructions now.

I was kinda panicking as most of the rest of the dinner was ready, and silly me just thought I would turn the grill up half way and that would be that.
