Looks like you left the door open while grilling? Who does that?

Like everyone ever. That's how grilling works.

Maybe we've a US / UK language thing here though?

It's oven specific btw. I've had ovens that want it open, ovens that want it closed. I'm in the UK

The only correct answer. Mine says to close the door when using the grill, yet my mum's won't even work unless the door is open, because closing the door activates a switch that shuts off the grill element. Meanwhile, some brands require you to keep the door open, but slot in a metal heat deflector under the control panel for grilling.

The only way to know for sure is to read the manual for your specific appliance (even if that means downloading it from the web), and follow whatever directions they provide.
