BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL

• Remove any packaging and labels from the appliance.

• Wipe the exterior and cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust.

• Place the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated area, with

the lid closed.

• Plug the power cord into a wall power outlet and switch the outlet on.

• Press the ON button

• The grill will heat to 175 degrees (default temperature), when the grill reaches

operating temperature, the grill will emit 3 beeps and the LED will ash and change

to green.

Note: When using your grill for the rst time, the unit may emit a ne smoke

vapour and scent. This is normal and is caused by the rst heating of the new

elements and new cooking plates.

• Press the on/off button, switch the power off at the wall power outlet, allow the grill

to cool then wipe over the cooking plates once again using a damp cloth.

• Select the sear function and allow the unit to nish cycle - the light will turn green

and you will hear three beeps.

FLAT FOR SANDWICHES OR TILTED FOR GRILLING?

• You may raise the rear foot to tilt the grill and speed the ow of fat into the drip tray,

or leave it at to prevent llings such as melting cheese moving towards the front of

the grill (FIG A).

• Grill meat, burgers, anything that exudes fat, on the tilt.

• Grill sandwiches, panini, foods with uid llings like melting cheese, on the at.

• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, to catch run-off.

BASIC GRILLING

Use the basic grilling function for simple grilling, panini, sandwiches, etc.

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

curtains, etc.

• Slide the drip tray between the two runners underneath the front of your grill (FIG

B). Slide the tray all the way in. The drip tray will collect any fat or juices that run off

the plates during cooking.

• Decided whether you want the grill level or tilted.

1. Plug the grill in. The grill will beep and the red power light will ash slowly.

2. Press the 2button. If you don’t press the 2button within 2 minutes, your grill will

enter sleep mode and the red power light will stop ashing. Press the 2button

again to wake your grill.

3. The light above the temperature ( ) button will come on and the display will show

175 (default). The default temperature units are in ºC.

4. Set the temperature you require using the uand dbuttons. The range is from

150ºC to 220ºC in 5º increments.

5. While your grill is heating up, the light above the temperature button will light up red,

and the gures on the display will ash. When your grill has reached the selected

temperature, the light will turn green, the display will stop ashing and your grill

will beep three times. During cooking, this sequence will be repeated as your grill

maintains the temperature. This is normal.

6. When the selected temperature has been reached place the food onto the grill and

close the lid.

7. When you have nished cooking press the 2button then unplug the grill.

• You can adjust the temperature at any time using the uand dbuttons.

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

• Wear oven gloves or similar protection.

• Remove the cooked food with wooden or plastic tools.

• The hinge is articulated to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods.

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

• When necessary, use an oven glove and empty the drip tray. Wipe it with kitchen

paper then replace it under the front of the grill.

SEAR FUNCTION

The sear function raises the temperature to 260ºC for 90 seconds. The sear function

works best with close-grained red meat like beef, lamb, venison, buffalo, bison, etc., cut

into steaks (across the grain of the meat). The meat should be between 5 mm and 25

mm thick.

1. Press the 2button.

2. Press the sear (P) button. The light above the sear button will light up red and the

display will show 260.

3. When your grill has reached the sear temperature, the light will turn green, the

display will stop ashing and your grill will beep three times.

4. Wear an oven glove and open the grill. Place the food onto the bottom grill plate,

then close the grill.

5. Wait till the grill beeps again (after 90 seconds) then open the grill

6. You can repeat the sear function four times one after the other but if you try to use

it more than this the display will show “EAA “ (ERRor). Press the 2button and allow

your grill to cool for 10 minutes before using the sear function again.

7. At the end of the sear function, your grill will revert to the previously set temperature.

However, it will take time to cool down.

8. To cancel the sear function at any time, press the 2button.

The outside surfaces of the food will be seared to a deep brown, while the inside should

be rare to medium rare (depending on the thickness of the food).

You now have the option of removing the food right away, (for rare or medium), or leaving

it to cook at the default temperature for a little longer if you want the meat more well

done.

Tips for perfect steaks

• Ideally, steak should be 12 - 15 mm thick (llet steaks can be thicker).

• Always allow the steaks to come up to room temperature before cooking. Don’t try

to cook them straight from the fridge.

• Pat the steaks dry with kitchen paper before placing on the grill.

• Season just before cooking. Be sparing with the salt or leave it out altogether (you

can always add salt for avour after cooking). Adding salt before cooking can draw

water to the surface of the steak where it will boil during cooking. The steak will be

steamed rather than seared, and will be grey instead of brown.

• Resting steaks after cooking is crucial for the best results. Allow them to rest for a

minimum of 3 minutes before serving. Correct resting allows the juices within the

meat to be reabsorbed giving a tasty, succulent steak.

TEMPERATURE PROBE FUNCTION

Many people judge if meat is cooked by touch or sight, or from the length of the cooking

time. The use of the temperature probe has several benets over these methods:

• Provide consistent, repeatable results

• Prevent overcooking

• Prevent under cooked food

• Eliminate guesswork

In use, the sharp point of the temperature probe is inserted into the food and the other

end is connected to your grill. The probe constantly sends the internal temperature of

the food to your grill where it is compared to a target temperature you have previously

set. Once reached, your grill will sound an alarm and switch off.

1. Connect the temperature probe to your grill (FIG D).

2. Press the 2button.

3. Set the cooking temperature you require using the uand dbuttons and allow your

grill to heat up.

4. Press the probe ( ) button. The light above the probe button will light up red and

the display will show 75 (default).

5. Set the probe temperature you require using the uand dbuttons. The range is

from 48ºC to 81ºC in 3º increments.

6. Insert the temperature probe into the food and carefully place the food onto the

preheated grill. Make sure that the probe doesn’t affect the lid closing or that the

cable isn’t pinched when the lid is closed.

7. During cooking, the display will alternate between showing the target temperature

you have set and the temperature that the probe is actually reading. When the

internal temperature of the food matches the target temperature, the light above the

probe button will turn green and your grill will beep ve times. The heaters of your

grill will switch off when the target temperature is reached but since cooking will

continue due to the residual heat, remove the food as soon as possible.

8. To cancel the function at any time, press the 2button.

• If you forget to plug in the probe the display will show “NO PAB” (NO PRoBe) and

your grill will beep.

• The probe will become HOT during use.

• Always insert the probe into the thickest part of the meat away from any bone or fat

which can give a false reading (FIG E).

• For the most accurate temperature reading, make sure that the probe is placed as

central as possible between the upper and lower surfaces of the meat.

• Before and after use, clean the probe with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

• Store the probe by wrapping the cable between the two halves of the handle and

inserting it into the recess on the side of your grill (FIG F).

Note: The temperature probe is a guide but you have to make up your own mind as

to whether food is safe or not. Temperature probe recommended only for those foods

listed on page 9.

TIMER FUNCTION

Using the timer is optional. It doesn’t turn your grill off, it simply beeps ve times to tell

you the time is up. Use the timer with the basic grilling function. To set the timer:

1. Switch on your grill and set the desired temperature. Allow it to heat up until the light

above the temperature button turns green.

2. Press the timer button the light above the button will come on and the display will

ash 5:00 (default). Use the uand dbuttons to set the desired time. The time can

be set from 30 seconds minute to 19 minutes 30 seconds in 30 second increments.

If you don’t press either button within 5 seconds, the grill will revert to temperature

mode.

3. The display will stop ashing and the timer will start to count down 5 seconds after

you last press the uand dbutton.

4. When the timer reaches zero, the grill will beep ve times and the display will ash

0:00. Remember that your grill is still active and you must remove the food to avoid

overcooking it.

5. To cancel the timer function at any time, press and hold the timer button for three

seconds. Your grill will revert to the basic grilling function.

ADVANCED COOKING

You can use the temperature probe feature to control exactly how you like your steak to

be cooked. To cook a medium-rare or medium-well done steak, do the following:

1. Prepare the steak and insert the probe. Connect the probe to the grill.

2. Press the 2button.

3. Set the temperature to 220ºC using the uand dbuttons.

4. Press the probe ( ) button. The light above the probe button will light up red and

the display will show 75 (default).

5. Use the uand dbuttons to set the desired probe temperature (refer to the

COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY table).

6. Press the sear (P) button. The light above the sear button will light up red and the

display will show 260.

7. Wait until the light above the sear button turns green and the grill beeps three times.

The light above the probe button will also light up red.

8. Open the grill and place the steak, with the probe inserted, onto the grill plate then

close the lid.

9. When the steak is cooked, the light above the probe button will turn green and your

grill will beep ve times.

10. Immediately open the grill and remove the steak.
