OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS



Prep

1. Place the griller on a level, stable, heat resistant surface. Leave enough

space

between the back of the griller and wall to allow heat to flow without damage

cabinets and

walls.

2. Wipe the surface of the plates with cooking oil and close the

lid.



Preheat

3. Put the plug into the power socket, ensuring the power cord does not rest

against

the grill or get trapped or pinched in the

plates.

4. The indicator light on top of the housing will come on; select the

desired

temperature setting you require. The light will then go off when the temperature

reached, the grill is now ready for use. (The light will cycle on and off as

the

thermostat operates to maintain the desired

temperature.)

Fill and Grill

5. When the light goes off, use an oven glove to open the grill. If using the

flavour

channel then place the ingredients into the channel. Lay the food over

the

flavour channel, the more the food is in contact with the flavour the more

flavour

will be

added.

6. If you are not using the flavour channel place the cap over it, this will

prevent

any grease from

spitting.

7. Close the grill, the floating hinge means the grill can cope with varying

thickness

of food. The grill plates should be roughly parallel; this is to ensure the

even

cooking of

food.

8. Leave the food to cook, if using the flavour channel; turn the food over

once

during cooking so the flavour comes into contact with both sides of the

food.



Check

9. Open the grill using an oven glove and check the food is thoroughly

cooked,

make sure any juices run clear. If you are in doubt leave it for a little longer,

use a temperature probe to be

sure.

10. Use only silicone or heat resistant plastic tongs or wooden utensils to

remove

food from the

grill.

Done

11. Unplug the grill and remove and empty the drip

tray.



HINTS AND TIPS FOR GRILLING



•

Meat, fish and vegetables should be coated with a light spray of oil before

being

placed on the grill; this will prevent the food from sticking to the grill

plates.

•

It is not recommended to use low fat cooking spray on the grill plates; as

the

additives that are present may build up on the surface of the cooking plates

and

reduce their

efficiency.

•

To prevent heat loss and for even cooking, do not open the lid

frequently.



•

For best results, do not overload the

grill.



•

For best results from the flavour channel, food should be placed horizontal

along

the length of the channel, and turned once during cooking, this is to allow

much

food to come into contact with the

flavour.

•

It is recommended when cooking food that is particularly fatty such as

burgers

that the cap is placed over the flavour area. This will prevent any grease

that

congregates in the channel from spitting; it works by keeping the fat below

the

cap.

•

For best results try to have food similar in size and thickness, this results in

even

cooking.

•

Use boneless meat, fish and poultry for more even cooking and

browning.



•

Remember that since the grill is cooking from both sides, cooking time

will

typically be shorter than expected. Watch carefully to avoid

overcooking.

•

For even more flavour, add dry seasonings or marinade foods before

grilling.



•

For great griddle marks on your meat, make sure the temperature is on

the

highest setting, allow the grill to heat up. Brush the meat with a layer of oil

and

place on the grill. Press the handle down with light pressure and you will hear

sear, turn the temperature down to continue cooking the food

thoroughly.



How do you like your meat cooked?



Rare - The flesh to the meat will spring back when pressed with a finger, it

will

generally feel quite spongy with lots of

give.

Medium - The flesh will spring back less, but will still have some give to

it.



Well done - The flesh will have no spring back at all, it will be very firm to the

touch.



Chicken - Remember the juices from chicken should run completely clear

when

pierced with a skewer or knife, if in doubt continue cooking for

longer.

Fish - The flesh will turn from translucent to opaque when it is cooked,

take

care not to overcook fish as it cooks very quickly and will dry out

overcooked.

Marinating

Marinated food is more flavoursome and can actually tenderise meat and

poultry.

There are two types of

marinades:

Dry rubs –These normally consist of spices, herbs and seasonings. This is

mixed

together and rubbed over the meat, this sticks really well to the meat, but should

brushed with oil before grilling to add moistness to the

food.

Wet marinade – This normally contains an acid based liquid, this can be in the form

wine, vinegar, citrus juice or yogurt, this works by tenderising the meat making it

succulent, it can be mixed with herbs, spices and oil for added

flavouring.



Flavours

If time is limited and you are unable to marinade food, you can add ingredients to

the

flavour channel that will impart a subtle flavour to the food during cooking. For

best

results sit the food along the channel and turn the food once during cooking to

ensure

both sides come into contact with the flavour. The flavour channel can be used with

without a liquid, use wine or oil as a carrier but experiment with soy sauce, coconut

milk

and apple juice as

well.

Flavours that work well together

Chicken - Garlic, ginger, sage, lemon, lime, black pepper, thyme,

jerk,

Cajun, Tandoori

spices
