Turn off Preheat when using the Grill - NV68A1170BS

[Ajay Varma]

Hi. I recently purchased a Samsung oven - model NV68A1170BS. 

I want to grill toast, so I select the top grill option on the oven. I would expect the top grill to heat up to make toast however this is not the case. The entire oven begins to preheat, ie the top and bottom of the oven heat up THEN after 7-8 mins, the top grill comes on. 

is there a way for me to turn off this stupid preheat function for the grill? I simply want the grill to come on without the entire oven preheating.

Hello - is anyone here to help?

Can anyone from Samsung provide an update?

I have just purchased an oven and have been taking to Samsung about the grill as I believed it was not working but having read these comments above I now think this is the problem. I to want to just have a grill on not wait for pre heating as oit took 15 mins to get to the temperature and only then did the grill element come on, this means unless you can bypass the preheating you cannot just grill something instantly????

Exactly! Surely this can not be right?! Do we have faulty units?! Why would you want to preheat the entire oven just to use the top grill?!

I have never had an oven before that required preheating for the grill, why would I want to wait 15 mins before I can start grilling? Do you get answers from Samsung on here?

It’s not really a grill then is it, surely this is a trade description issue as the oven is not fit for purpose
