PARTS

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Wipe the grill plates with a damp cloth.

Your grill may smoke a little the first time you use it. This is normal and will soon disappear.

USING YOUR GRILL

• Sit your grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, away from cupboards, curtains, etc.

• Check that the drip tray is fully pushed in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.

The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off the plates during cooking.

1. Put the plug into the power socket.

2. The power light will come on as long as the appliance is connected to the electricity

supply. The grill plates will now start heating up.

3. The thermostat light will come on when the appliance reaches working temperature.

4. It will then cycle on and off as the thermostat operates to maintain the temperature.

5. When the thermostat light comes on, open the grill.

6. Lay the food on the bottom grill plate with a spatula or tongs, not fingers.

7. Close the grill. The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods. The

grill plates should be roughly parallel, to avoid uneven cooking.

8. Check that the food is cooked. If you’re in any doubt, cook it a bit more.

NOTE: Use wooden or plastic utensils to prevent damage to the plates. Do not use metal

utensils.

9. When you have finished cooking unplug your grill.

MORE?

• When necessary, put on an oven glove, slide the drip tray out from under the bottom

plate and empty the drip tray into a heatproof bowl. Wipe it with kitchen paper then

replace it in the rails under the front of the grill.

• Push it in – the rear should sit beneath both spillways.

GRIDDLE/BARBECUE

You may open the grill up for use as a griddle or barbecue.

To go to the griddle position:

1. Move the handle forward till the plates are less than 90 degrees apart

2. Press the release button, and hold it in

3. Pull the handle back, till the grill is fully open

4. Check that the front of the top plate doesn’t catch on the end of the stabilisers

5. If it does, close it slightly, push the top of the plate with an oven glove, and open it again

6. Let the release button go

7. Lift the front of the grill, and flip the extendible feet out, to level the bottom grill plate.

To close the griddle, lift the handle till the plates are less than 90 degrees apart.

You can then close it fully, or open it again in grilling mode.

Lift the front of the grill, and rotate the extendible feet into the grill, to restore the slope to

the bottom grill plate.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

General Cleaning

• Wipe the outside surfaces of the appliance with a clean damp cloth.

• Wash the drip tray in warm soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher.

Grill Plates

• Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners, solvents, scourers, wire wool, or soap pads.

• Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick surfaces may show signs

of wear. This is purely cosmetic, and will not affect the operation of the grill.

There are two ways you can clean the grill plates:

While The Plates Are Still Hot

• Unplug your grill.

• Wear appropriate protection such as oven gloves or similar, and use extreme care while

wiping the hot plates.

• Using a piece of folded kitchen paper or damp cloth, wipe the plates in one continuous

motion from the back to the front.

When The Plates Are Cold

• Unplug your grill and let it cool completely.

• Wipe the plates with a damp cloth or sponge. Use a paper towel with a dab of cooking

oil to remove stubborn stains.

STORING

• This grill may be stood vertically (on the hinged side) for storage.

RECYCLING

Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord)

is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general

household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated

appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal

service.

COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

Use these times purely as a guide. They’re for fresh or fully defrosted food. When

cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood, and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry,

depending on the thickness and density of the food. You’ll need to experiment to find the

optimal times and positions which suit your favorite foods and food combinations.

When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.

• Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.

• Cook poultry, pork, burgers, etc., until the juices run clear. Cook fish, prawns, etc., until

the flesh is opaque throughout.
