Breville recommends safety first

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

We at Breville are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, at the forefront of our minds. In addition, we ask that you exercise a degree of care when
using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

using the ikon Grill for the first time.

• Do not place the ikon Grill near the edge of a bench

or table during operation. Ensure that the surface is
level, clean and free of water, etc.

• Do not place the ikon Grill on or near a hot gas or

electric burner, or where it could touch a heated
oven. Use the ikon Grill well away from walls.

• Provide adequate space above and on all sides of

air circulation around the ikon Grill.

• Do not place the ikon Grill on any surface that may

be affected by heat. The use of a heat resistant
mat is recommended on these surfaces.

• Always ensure that the ikon Grill is properly

assembled before first use.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles to lift

and open the top plate. Take care when using the
Adjustable Grilling Height Control.

removable plates. Do not release the removable
plates while the grill is being operated.

• Always switch off the grill at the power outlet

before releasing the removable plates.

the appliance, disassembling, assembling and
when storing the appliance.

cooking plates clean. Follow the cleaning
instructions provided in this book.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by

means of an external timer or separate remote­control system.

Important safeguards for all electrical appliances

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse

cord, plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of table or

counter or touch hot surfaces, or become knotted.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that

they do not play with the appliance.

• It is recommended to inspect the appliance

regularly. Do not use the appliance if the power
supply cord, plug or appliance becomes damaged
or malfunctions in any way. Return the entire
appliance to the nearest authorized Breville Service
Center for examination and/or repair.

• Any maintenance other than cleaning should be

performed at an authorized Breville Service Center.

• This appliance is for household use only. Do not use

this appliance for anything other than its intended
use/ Do not use in moving vehicles or boats. Do not
use outdoors.

• Do not use harsh abrasives, caustic cleaners or

oven cleaners when cleaning this appliance.

• The installation of a residual current device (safety

switch) is recommended to provide additional
safety protection when using electrical appliances.

• It is advisable that a safety switch with a rated

residual operating current not exceeding 30mA
be installed in the electrical circuit supplying
the appliance. See your electrician for
professional advice.

• Close Supervision is necessary when this appliance

is used by or near children.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an

appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

• The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer may cause
injuries.

For safety reasons it is recommended you plug
your Breville appliance directly into the power
outlet. DO NOT use in conjunction with a power
strip or extension cord.

Your grill has a short cord as a safety precaution
to prevent perosnal injury or property damage
resulting from pulling, tripping or becoming
entangled with the cord.

If you must use a longer power cord or an
extension cord are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the cord or

extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.

2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the

extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire
cord, and

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will

not drape over the countertop or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

Note

Hints for best results for grilling

Meat
For best Grilling results use meat cuts which are

thick enough to touch the top and base plate when
the ikon Grill is closed.

Recommended Cuts
Beef Sirloin (New York), Rump,

Rib Eye (Scotch Fillet), Fillet,

Pork Butterfly loin Steaks, Spare Ribs,

Leg Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.

• Tougher cuts such as beef blade or topside steak

can be used. To tenderize these cuts marinate
them for a few hours or overnight in a marinade
with wine or vinegar to help break down the
connective tissue.

• It is recommended to cook items with thick bones

such as T-bone steaks.

• No not salt meat before cooking. Salt will draw out

the juices toughening the meat.

• If using a marinade recipe or pre-marinated meats

from your meat retailer, drain excess marinade off
and dab with kitchen paper before placing on the
ikon Grill. Some marinades contain high sugar
levels which can scortch on the Grill plate
when cooked.

• Do not over cook the meat, even pork is better

served pink and juicy.

• Do not pierce meat with a fork or cut meat while

cooking. This will let the juices escape, resulting in
a tougher dry steak. Use tongs instead.

• When removing fish pieces, use a flat heat

resistant plastic spatula to support the food.

• Part-boiling sausages can alleviate the need to

pierce sausages before cooking.

Care and cleaning

Before cleaning, switch the power off at the power
outlet and then remove the plug. Allow your smart
ikon Grill to be cool before cleaning. The appliance is
easier to clean when slightly warm.

Always clean your ikon Grill after each use to prevent
the build up of baked-on foods.

Wipe cooking plates with a soft cloth to remove food
residue. For baked on food residue follow “using the
plate release feature” page 9, remove the grill plates
from the grill for cleaning. Wash in hot soapy. Remove
stubborn residue with a non abrasive plastic scouring
pad or nylon washing brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth and replace.

Cleaning the drip tray

Remove and empty the Drip Tray after each use and
wash the tray in warm, soapy water. Avoid the use of
scouring pads or harsh detergents as they may
damage the surface.

• Rinse and thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth

and replace.

• Scratch resistant coating

• Your ikon Grill features a special scratch resistant

non-stick coating that makes it safe to use metal
utensils when cooking.

• Regardless of this fact, Breville recommends that

care is taken with the non-stick coating particularly
when using metal utensils.

• Do not use sharp objects or cut food inside the ikon

Grill. Breville will not be liable for damage to the
non-stick coating where metal utensils have been
misused.

• Cooking on a non-stick surface minimizes the need

for oil, food does not stick and cleaning is easier.

• Any discoloration that may occur will only detract

from the appearance of the ikon Grill and will not
affect the cooking performance.

• When cleaning the non-stick coating, do not use

metal (or other abrasive) scourers. Wash in hot
soapy water. Remove stubborn residue with a
non abrasive plastic scouring pad or nylon
washing brush.

Storage

To store your ikon Grill:

1. Switch off at the power outlet and unplug
from the wall.

2. Allow the ikon Grill to fully cool.

3. Slide the Adjustable Grill Height Control Slide
towards the front handle to the LOCK position

locked together.

4. Click the removable drip tray into place
