Instructions for Use

The Entertaining Grill is a versatile piece of kitchen equipment which can be used to

cook a wide variety of foods. You can grill vegetables, ﬁsh, meat and poultry. With two

adjustable temperature dials, you can adjust the cooking temperature on both sides of the

plate for the type of food being grilled.

Before using for the ﬁrst time:

Wipe the appliance body and temperature dials with a damp cloth.

Wash the grill plate, drip tray and scraper with warm, soapy water or place in the

dishwasher.

Read the “Cleaning and storage” section for further information.

Fitting the plate

nPlace the appliance on a ﬂat, stable, clean and dry surface, at least 100mm from walls

and furniture. The user must be able to see the control panel.

nEnsure the Grill is switched off and disconnected from the electric supply.

nPlace the plate on the appliance, ensuring the legs of the plate slot into the holes in the

base. The splash guard should be at the back of the appliance.

nAttach the plate by pressing both sides of the plate until it clicks into place.

nTo remove the plate, press the plate release buttons on both side of the appliance and

raise the plate horizontally to remove the plate.

Warning: Ensure that the appliance is switched off and that the plate has cooled before

removing it.

Preparing to grill

Important: always attach the plates before you pre-heat the appliance.

Switch on the appliance and preheat it by setting the temperature dial to the maximum.

During pre-heating, the thermostat indicator lights will ﬂash. Once it has come up to

temperature, the indicator lights will stop ﬂashing and will remain constant.

Set the temperature according to the food type, and then place the food on the plate.

The two thermostats may be adjusted separately for different temperatures on the left

and the right side of the plate, so that you may cook different ingredients simultaneously.

N. B.: When cold food is placed on the plate, the temperature may momentarily fall below

the selected temperature. The indicator lights will ﬂash until it comes up to temperature

again.

When the appliance is used for the ﬁrst time, it may give off a slight smell and a little

smoke.

Warning: Do not touch the spray guard during cooking as it may reach high temperatures.

Using the integrated drip tray

The Grill has an oil drainage system. Oil is drained via a small recess in the middle of the

plate, allowing fat and grease to drip down into the integrated tray. The recess is ﬁtted

with a plug so cooking juices can be retained during the cooking if preferred. If you

remove the plug, the excess oil will ﬂow into the tray.

To insert the drip tray, insert it into the slot in the middle of the housing base.

To remove the drip tray, simply slide the tray out of the slot. Grease should be disposed of

safely after cooking. The drip tray can be washed in the dishwasher.

Warning: Never touch the plug when the plate is hot. Wait for the appliance to cool

before emptying the tray.

Cooking Guide

The cooking guide provides suggested cooking times for contact grilling fresh food.

Cooking times may vary depending on overall thickness and density of food. Cook poultry

and meat until juices run clear, cook ﬁsh until ﬂesh is opaque throughout. Ensure food is

thoroughly cooked before serving.
