Yep my Bosch says you should leave door open when grilling..

Our NEFF oven has a sticker by the grill control saying to "always leave the door open when using the grill".

Yes, I expect it depends on the oven. My grillpan handle doesn't detach, although it's a double oven - but it's quite old!

My oven instructions are to close the door when grilling. It's a Belling.

ALWAYS door open

Otherwise you are effectively oven cooking and burning the top at the same time!

And it's a fire risk

Sounds dangerous to me, that would make it an oven without a thermostat.

The handle clips off for the smaller grill

It should tell you in your instruction book. My double oven has a grill in each,the small top oven is used with the door closed and the large fan oven door must be left open.

I can't grill with the oven door closed - the handle of the grill is in the way! (Wouldn't do it anyway)

Grilling with door shut makes it into an oven!

Do you do this? I ALWAYS grill things with the oven door ajar but two of my friends watched me do this the other night and looked at me like I was mad! So...door closed or open?!
