Remove any promotional materials and
packaging materials before use. Check that the
cooking plates are clean and free of dust.
If necessary, wipe over with a damp cloth.

When using the Professional Grill for the first
time you may notice a fine smoke haze. This is
caused by the first heating of some of the
components. There is no need for concern.

TO USE AS AN OPEN GRILL

1. Insert the plug into a 230/240v power outlet
and switch the power ON. Switch the on/off
button to ‘ON’. The red heating light will
illuminate.

2. Ensure the Removable Drip Tray is correctly
inserted and positioned back into the
appliance (see Fig 1).

3. Ensure the top plate is in the closed position
for more efficient preheating.

4. Turn the Base Plate Tilt Dial to the
Flat position.

‘Sear’ for fast preheating.
